Internship with RBI – RBI Young Scholar Awards Scheme – India
Another internship which is branch & year agnostic (and hence a great opportunity even for 1st year and 2nd year students) and with none other than Reserve Bank of India.
To encourage learning about the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) among the youth of the country, the RBI conducts a major awareness and sensitization exercise on the role of the Reserve Bank and the banking system across the country. This exercise, ‘RBI Young Scholars Award Scheme’ exposes youngsters to an actual banking and financial environment and inculcates a sense of pride in the selected ones of having had the opportunity to associate themselves with a prestigious organisation, the central bank of the country.
