National Centre For Communication Security (NCCS) Internship Scheme(NCCSIS)
Overview
About NCCSIS
The National Centre for Communication Security (NCCS) Internship Scheme is run by the Department of Telecommunications, part of the Ministry of Communications. NCCS is the government body responsible for telecom security in India: it sets security assurance standards, designates telecom security testing laboratories, issues security certifications for telecom equipment, and publishes the Indian Telecom Security Assurance Requirements (ITSARs). The internship gives students and young researchers a way to work alongside that technical mandate.
The stated aim is mutual. The scheme lets young talent take part in the work of NCCS, while giving NCCS access to fresh ideas and to study and research support from academics. Internships are time-bound placements at the NCCS office in Bengaluru, with terms and duration fixed for each intake.
The internship suits students and young scholars with an interest in telecommunications security, testing standards, or equipment certification who want to work with the body that oversees these areas in India. NCCS announces the application window and conditions for each intake, so read the current notification before you apply.
