Most students miss the best policy and research opportunities for one simple reason! They’re not where you’re looking. The #internships and #fellowships that actually build a policy #career are rarely on the job portals everyone refreshes! They’re buried on government sites, bulked with multiple info sects - announced as a PDF, with a 10-day window, on a page you’d never find unless you already knew it existed. Some are never really “advertised” at all. They go to whoever reached the right office at the right time. So the students who get in aren’t always the most #qualified. They’re the ones who knew where to look. The #InformationGap is bigger than the talent gap, itself! So I spent the last few weeks closing it - 40+ #government, #policy and #research #opportunities across #India, every one checked against its official source. Who can #apply, the #stipend, the exact #link to apply. #NITIAayog, the #Ministries, the #regulators, the #ThinkTanks, the #ResearchCouncils - all in one place. The full, filterable sheet is in the comments. Save it for the day you need it! And the question I get most - how I actually got into the #NHRC, the #MHA and an #MP’s office with #NoContacts - that’s the next one I’m writing. If this fascinates you, let’s connect, I am just sharing what I learn along the way! #LinkedIn #CareerBuilding #PublicPolicy #DelhiUniversity #Growth #Skills
