Delhi University receives 3,800 applications for 110 posts paid internship scheme

Delhi University (DU) has said that it has received more than 3,800 applications from undergraduate and postgraduate students for 110 vacancies in its paid internship scheme. "Delhi University is currently holding interviews to shortlist the candidates. The list of selected students will be out within a week," the official said. 

"We have received over 3,800 applications for 110 vacancies under the paid internship scheme," DU Dean of Students Welfare Pankaj Arora said. The office of the Dean of Students' Welfare (DSW) has been entrusted with the responsibility to facilitate the internship programme at the University of Delhi.

"The interview process is underway and it is expected to be concluded by Tuesday. We will take out the list of students selected within a week and the internship will begin the next day itself," Arora said.

In September, the Vice-Chancellor internship scheme was announced by the varsity to impart training on soft and hard skills to students by integrating cognitive knowledge with experiential learning. Under VCIS, there would be a regular and a summer internship. The total proposed number of interns in both categories is 200, however, this year, it is 110 across departments.

"This year, there are 110 vacancies across departments. The students will be selected based on Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) scores and interviews. The students will be assigned to the department based on their skills and the requirements of the department. Like the Botany department has asked for students from a science background," Arora added.
