How to apply for KSCSTE Internship in 2025?

Hey friends! I came across the KSCSTE (Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment) Internship Program :test_tube::herb:. 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.
