Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Internship Scheme(MOEFCCIS)
Overview
About MOEFCCIS
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Internship Scheme places students and research scholars as short-term interns inside the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). Selected interns are inducted into the ministry's divisions and units, where they work alongside officials on the policy, research and administrative tasks the ministry handles day to day.
The scheme is open to candidates who hold, or are working towards, a graduation or postgraduation degree, along with research scholars enrolled in recognised universities or institutions. It is meant as a window into how India's central environmental authority functions rather than a full-time job.
Each internship term runs for a limited stretch of up to about three months, and the ministry ordinarily runs the programme in cycles across the year. A stipend is not standard across every cycle: where one is offered it applies to specific batches or sessions, and its release is tied to attendance and the completed period of internship. Exact stipend figures, eligibility conditions and application windows are set out in the ministry's own notifications for each session.
