This initiative offers a unique opportunity for law students enrolled in reputed Law University/Institutes to gain valuable experience by working closely with CBI officers in various locations across the country. Under this scheme, the selected interns will be attached to Central Bureau of Investigation officers in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Lucknow, and Bangalore. Their primary role will be to support the analysis process within the Agency by collecting and collating empirical data and other relevant information. Additionally, the interns will have the chance to enhance their legal knowledge and research skills while gaining exposure to the functioning of the esteemed CBI, which will undoubtedly benefit their future career goals. The CBI has set a total of 30 internship positions, with six interns assigned to each of the aforementioned locations. To be eligible for the scheme, applicants must be Indian citizens and law students enrolled in a Graduate course conducted in English medium at reputed Law University/Institutes. For those pursuing a five-year integrated LLB course, they should be in or have completed the eighth semester.

First, interns will not receive any payment during their tenure and will be responsible for their own accommodation and travel arrangements.
