Wed Feb 19 11:39:58 UTC 2025: ## DRDO to Offer Internships in 2025 for Science and Engineering Students

**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) announced today that it will offer internship programs in 2025 to undergraduate and postgraduate students in science and engineering. The internships, available at over 50 DRDO labs and establishments across India, will provide students with hands-on experience in various defense research and development areas.

Eligible candidates must be between 19 and 28 years old and hold undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in engineering or general sciences. Interested students should research and identify a DRDO lab aligning with their academic background and apply through their respective colleges or universities. Acceptance depends on available slots and the lab director’s discretion.

The internship duration will range from four weeks to six months, determined by the lab director. Interns will have access only to unclassified areas within the labs. While the program offers a stipend of Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 per month, DRDO explicitly states that the internship does not guarantee future employment and will not be liable for any personal injuries sustained during the program.

This initiative aims to foster talent and contribute to India’s self-reliance in defense technologies. Further details and application procedures will be released closer to the 2025 program launch.
