Hey friends! I came across the KSCSTE (Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment) Internship Program 
. But I’m not sure how to apply in 2025, what the eligibility is, and whether students from outside Kerala can apply. Also, is there any stipend given and how long does the internship last? If anyone has done this internship or knows the official website or last date, please share here. It’ll help a lot of science and research students looking for hands-on experience.
Yes, the KSCSTE Internship Program is a great option if you’re into research, science, or the environment. It’s offered by the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology & Environment and they run different internships through places like KFRI, JNTBGRI, and even under the DBT Skill Vigyan program.
Who can apply?
- If you’re a student or recent graduate in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Biotech, etc., you’re good to go!
- Most programs are meant for students from Kerala, but some do accept students from other states — especially KFRI and JNTBGRI. So don’t worry, just check the specific program details.
Is there a stipend?
- Yes, for some programs! For example:
- Skill Vigyan courses offer ₹3,000 to ₹10,000/month depending on your level.
- Some internships like the one at KFRI might charge a small training fee (e.g. ₹22,000 for 3 months).
Duration?
- Varies! Could be 1 to 6 months depending on the internship.
- Example: KFRI’s program runs from Jan to April 2025.
