NeGD Winter Internship 2026 for West Bengal Students

The internship is open to students of recognised universities across India, so students from West Bengal universities, colleges and polytechnics can apply. Graduates from Calcutta University, Jadavpur University, Kalyani University and other state universities can apply if they have 60% marks, and final-year B.Tech and diploma students can apply directly. Since students from NIRF top 100 colleges get extra weightage, students of Bengal institutions that feature in the latest NIRF list, such as IIT Kharagpur and Jadavpur University, may have an advantage.

The notice does not say whether the internship is in-office or remote. NeGD's office is in New Delhi, so students from Bengal should be ready to stay in Delhi for 2 to 3 months if the internship is offline, keeping in mind that the stipend is paid only at the end.
