SAARC internship opportunities will allow participants to understand how international organisations function, with a focus on economic cooperation, policy research, and cultural exchange.
The SAARC internship program offers students from South Asian nations the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in international affairs, focusing on economic cooperation, policy research, and cultural exchange. The internship is conducted at the SAARC Secretariat in Kathmandu, Nepal, with sessions in Summer 2025 (May-July) and Winter 2025 (November-January 2026). Eligible applicants include undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students from SAARC member countries with academic backgrounds in political science, economics, development studies, or international relations. Applications, requiring a CV, proof of research experience, a recommendation letter, and a cover letter, must be submitted through the SAARC Secretariat's official website at least three months before the session begins. The internship provides opportunities for collaboration with diplomats and policy experts, along with networking prospects for future careers in international relations. Further details are available on the SAARC Secretariat website.
