‘Intern Abroad This Summer’ invites applications for its summer fellowship programme, ‘The Aniket Singh Internship Program’ for the summer of 2019.  

The Aniket Singh Internship Program is a 2-3 month internship opportunity designed to enhance awareness and interest in high quality academic research among young Engineering, Management, Science and Humanities students. Students will have the chance to intern at top colleges in England, India (IITs), Singapore and Switzerland. Students chosen for this programme will have the opportunity to work among some of the top professors in academic research in the world.

For each intern, an appropriate stipend will cover the living expenses during the internship. Appropriate travel expenses (train fare for domestic and airfare for international interns) will also be provided.

This global internship opportunity furthers the endeavor that Singh started when he launched the scholarship for underprivileged students at IIT Madras.
