## Indian Opinion Analysis

The Vidyut Pragya internship gives engineering graduates hands-on exposure to power system simulation at India's national grid operator. With only 15 slots and a competitive Rs 50,000 monthly stipend, the programme is likely to attract strong interest from recent graduates and postgraduates in electrical disciplines. The application deadline is November 6, and selection hinges on academic scores and an interaction at the NLDC in New Delhi. GRID-INDIA has clarified that the internship does not guarantee a permanent job.
