NPC Students Internship Program(NPCSIP)
Overview
About NPCSIP
The NPC Students Internship Program places graduate and postgraduate students inside the National Productivity Council, an autonomous body founded in 1958 and registered under the Societies Registration Act. NPC works under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. This is a central scheme, open to students across the country, and its benefit is in kind rather than a cash payment.
NPC's own work is in productivity consulting and training, across fields such as industrial engineering, agri-business, quality and human resource management, information technology, and energy and environment management. As an intern you are attached to these live interventions, with the stated aim of giving you the chance to learn and apply new concepts on real projects. The council runs from its New Delhi headquarters and a set of regional offices, and the internship application form lets you pick from those locations.
The program is meant for students who are pursuing graduation or post-graduation, and you apply to NPC directly. Because the benefit is training and exposure and not a stipend or scholarship amount, it suits students who want structured work experience on productivity, industrial and technology-related assignments rather than financial support.
