English (Brainrot) coming soon

You can switch at any point from the top of the page. Other languages are on the way.

The office accepts interns four or five times each year. Interns take on research, drafting, the daily business of Parliament, and the office's other research projects.

The internship is in New Delhi, in person, and unpaid, with no stipend of any kind. The minimum term is eight weeks. The office would rather state this plainly now than have it come as a surprise later.

The best hires this office has made have been personality hires and quiet technical people in equal measure, and both are welcome here. The application asks who you are along with what you can do, not just a resume and a page on why you want to work here.

Before you begin: would you describe your attention span as short?

Yes No

Answer honestly. If yes, the form will provide a video accompaniment on larger screens.

Last cycle, about 1,800 people applied for four places. We tell you at the start so you can decide how much of yourself to put into the answers. The ones that read like everyone else's are the easiest to pass over.

About you

Review

Recorded.

In the previous cycle this office received approximately 1,800 applications for four positions. We mention the arithmetic so that you know it before you wait.

Shortlisted applicants receive a short task by email, with two days to complete it, before any interview. If you do not hear from the office, the cause is usually volume rather than judgment.

One last thing, optional: feedback on this form itself, not on your application. What should we fix or keep?

This is sent with your email address attached, so the office can follow up if something you flag needs fixing. It is read only to improve the form and plays no part in assessing your application.
