A special internship opportunity at LBSNAA; understand the terms and conditions before applying..
LBSNAA Law Internship: The mere mention of the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie, conjures up images of the brilliant individuals who go on to become the officers steering the nation's administration. However, did you know that a pathway has now opened for regular law students to experience life, study, and training within the LBSNAA campus? The 'National Centre for Law and Administration' (NCLA), operating under LBSNAA, has launched a four-week internship program for law students.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to step beyond textbooks, legal sections, and the confines of a courtroom to witness firsthand how the law functions within administrative corridors. This internship is not merely a means to pad your resume; it is a unique platform for learning that can transform your conceptual outlook and the trajectory of your career. Find out who is eligible to apply for the LBSNAA internship, what the selection process entails, and what facilities are provided.

Only students currently in the final year of a 3-year LLB or a 5-year integrated LLB course from a recognized university or law college are eligible to apply for the NCLA’s four-week offline internship.
In the selection process, priority is given to meritorious students with an outstanding academic record or those who have won national-level Moot Court competitions.
Having a published research paper increases your chances of selection.
How to apply for the internship and what is the selection process?
Applications for this internship program can be submitted online.
You must register by visiting the official LBSNAA or NCLA portal. Alternatively, you can send an email to ncla.lbsnaa@nic.in. This internship runs throughout the year in various batches on a rolling basis; therefore, you can apply for dates that suit your convenience and academic calendar.
Selection is based on merit, moot court achievements, and the verification of college ID and other documents. Shortlisted candidates are notified via email by the Academy.
Will there be a stipend? Discover the unique benefits of an internship at LBSNAA.
The internship at LBSNAA is an unpaid academic internship; no cash stipend or salary is provided. Nevertheless, the benefits are substantial and rival those of high-paying internships. Interns receive free accommodation and full boarding facilities on the LBSNAA campus. Additionally, they gain the invaluable experience of interacting with and learning from the country's top administrative officers, policymakers, and legal luminaries.
What will you learn during the LBSNAA internship?
At this prestigious academy nestled in the hills of Mussoorie, you will have the opportunity to witness not just theory, but 'law in action'—the practical application of the law. Interns work alongside faculty members on projects involving legal research, policy analysis, administrative law studies, and drafting. This experience proves to be a boon for students aspiring to build careers in the judiciary, civil services, public policy, or think tanks.
