Hey everyone, I’m planning to apply for a NITI Aayog work-from-home internship but need some clarity on the eligibility criteria. Are there specific educational qualifications (like undergrad/postgrad degrees) or technical skills (e.g., data analysis, Excel, Python) required? Do they prefer candidates from certain fields like economics, public policy, or engineering?

Also, does the remote internship require prior experience with collaboration tools or policy research? Is it open only to Indian citizens, and what documents (CV, SOP, etc.) are needed? Any insights on the selection process like interviews or tests, it would be super helpful. Lastly, are there flexible duration options or preferred timelines for applying? If anyone’s done this before, kindly share your experience!
