A Political Consultant intern supports live electoral engagements: constituency profiling, opposition research, briefing notes for candidate preparation, and narrative material — all under a named mentor, on real (client-confidential) campaigns across our political practice. ### What is the eligibility for the Political Consultant Internship? Final-year students and recent graduates from any discipline — political science, law, economics, history, or demonstrable self-taught electoral literacy. No diploma is mandatory: we evaluate analytical writing and constituency reasoning, not paperwork. ### Is the Political Consultant Internship paid? Compensation is discussed during the screening process and depends on demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. We deliberately do not publish figures — every intern is evaluated individually. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months at our New Delhi HQ, with a certificate provided on completion — and, more importantly, live-campaign work for your portfolio. Strong interns receive full-time offers. ### What is the selection process for the Political Consultant Internship? A short application, one take-home exercise (a constituency analysis on real public data), and a final interview with the political practice lead. The cycle typically completes within two weeks because intake is rolling. ### Does the internship involve working on real election campaigns? Yes — that is the entire point. Interns are attached to live engagements under supervision and confidentiality. What you will not do is make claims about clients: discretion is a hard requirement of political practice. ### Which skills should I build before applying? Clean analytical writing, comfort with electoral data in spreadsheets, and genuine familiarity with how constituencies actually move. Campaign experience is welcome but not expected — we teach the methodology in-house. ### Is prior campaign experience required for the Political Consultant Internship? No — analytical aptitude and political curiosity are the entry requirements; campaign methodology, constituency craft, and our engagement standards are taught in-house across the six months. What we do look for is evidence you read elections seriously: a state you follow closely, an outcome you predicted and can explain, or analysis you have written for yourself.
