Selected candidates will be placed at NHAI headquarters or field offices, where they will work under professional supervision and gain exposure to infrastructure development projects. Interns will receive a monthly stipend of ₹20,000 along with a certificate after completing the program.

The internship is open to full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students from leading institutions, including NIRF-ranked colleges, top law universities, management institutes, and mass communication schools.

Applicants must submit their forms online through the internship portal, providing academic details and preferred project locations. Educational institutions will verify and approve applications, and only those endorsed by institutes will be considered.

Final placements will be determined by NHAI based on candidate preferences and project availability, in line with guidelines from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
