The MEA Internships Program, in its maiden edition, is being launched by the Ministry of External Affairs. The MEA Internship Policy 2022 intends to bring foreign policy closer to the people, enhance variety in terms of qualifications, domicile, and socio-economic position among the cohort of interns engaged by the Ministry, and provide value to the interns.
A total of 75 internships will be offered in the year 2022 in a single term of three months from April to June 2022. All selected interns will be required to join the Ministry on the same day in April 2022
The selection process will consist of two stages viz. Preliminary Screening and Personal Interview. The process will follow a ‘quota cum weightage’ system whereby applicants belonging to all 28 States and 8 Union Territories will be considered. There may be 2 interns from each of the 28 States; 2 interns from each of the 8 Union Territories and 3 more interns with maximum marks from TADP districts / underprivileged sections of the society. A minimum of 30% of the 75 internships may be filled by women candidates.
An honorarium of INR 10,000 per month will be paid to each intern to defray basic costs. Cost of one-time to and fro air travel subject to a ceiling of the prevailing economy class airfare between the State capital and Delhi, from the domicile State or from the college/university of the selected candidates will be provided.
