You can gain entry to LBSNAA without clearing the UPSC exam; find out how to get the opportunity..

The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) is typically associated with the training of IAS officers. However, clearing the UPSC examination is not the only way to gain entry here. LBSNAA’s National Centre for Law and Administration (NCLA) has launched a four-week academic internship for final-year law students. This initiative offers eligible students an opportunity to gain a close understanding of law, administration, governance, and public policy. Notably, selected students will be provided with free accommodation and meals at the LBSNAA campus.

**Applications Open for Final-Year Students**
This internship is designed for students enrolled in recognized universities or law colleges. Students in the final year of a 3-year LLB program or a 5-year integrated LLB program are eligible to apply. Academic achievements will be a key factor in the selection process. Performance in national-level moot court competitions and published research papers can also work to the candidates' advantage.

**Selection Based on Merit**
Candidates will be selected based on their qualifications and achievements. Documents submitted with the application—including college ID and records of moot court achievements—will be scrutinized. Shortlisted students will be notified via email by LBSNAA. This is an unpaid internship; no stipend will be provided to the students. No information regarding age limits or application fees has been announced so far.

**Free Accommodation and Meals**
Despite the absence of a stipend, students will benefit from several facilities during this internship. Selected interns will receive free accommodation and meals at the LBSNAA campus for the four-week duration. Additionally, they may have the opportunity to interact with senior administrative officials, policy experts, and scholars.

An Opportunity to Understand Governance and Public Policy
During the internship, students will have the opportunity to work on subjects related to administrative law, governance, and public policy. This includes legal research, case studies, policy analysis, legal drafting, and understanding administrative processes. Students may also work with faculty members on various academic and research projects.

Beneficial for These Career Paths
This internship can be valuable for law students aspiring to build careers in fields such as the judiciary, civil services, public policy, legal consultancy, think tanks, or government advisory roles. It will provide students with a practical understanding of the relationship between law and administration.
