An intern on this track runs on-ground data collection that powers our political cell: booth-level surveys, voter-preference polls, demographic-segmentation fieldwork, and the after-action fieldwork notes that feed our forecasting desk. It is hands-on field research from month one. ### What is the eligibility for the Political Field Surveyor Internship? Final-year students and recent graduates from any discipline who can spend extended periods on the ground in Indian constituencies. No diploma is mandatory: we evaluate demonstrated survey-method instinct, language fluency, and operational discipline, not paperwork. ### Is the Political Field Surveyor 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 We deliberately do not publish figures — every intern is evaluated and compensated individually. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months with significant on-ground time, certificate provided on completion, and a portfolio of real field-survey after-action notes. Strong interns receive full-time offers. ### What is the selection process for the Political Field Surveyor Internship? A short application form, one field-survey screening task on a realistic constituency problem, and a final interview with the field-research lead where you walk through your task reasoning live. The whole cycle typically completes within two weeks. ### Does CryptoMize hire Political Field Surveyor interns in Delhi only? The internship is based at our New Delhi HQ in Vasant Vihar, with extensive on-ground time across active constituencies. Full-time Political Field Surveyor roles occasionally support remote or hybrid arrangements depending on the engagement. ### Which skills should I learn before applying? Survey-method basics (sample-frame discipline, refusal-code consistency, instrument-fidelity), bilingual field communication (Hindi + English + a regional language is strong), and the ability to write a structured field-survey after-action note. Everything else — the engagement patterns, the field-research stack, the discretion standards — we teach in-house, on real constituency work from week one.
