Internship with Competition Commission of India – Competition Law & Policy– Delhi, India
Another gem of a Government internship, this time from CCI! It’s really heartening to see Government organizations giving due importance to involving student community & giving them adequate exposure to the organization work and activities that in form of an internship. I used to envy US graduates for programs like “White House interns”, but may be no more! What do you think?
