The Story in Brief
The Rajasthan Police on Wednesday launched an internship scheme for law students pursuing undergraduate, postgraduate or PhD programmes at universities in India and abroad. Selected interns will assist units such as Crime Branch, Traffic, Cyber Crime, Legal Branch and Modernisation with legal research, data analysis and report writing. Eligible candidates must have secured at least 60 per cent in Class 12. Selection is on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of 100 interns per batch. The internship is unpaid, lasts a minimum of 45 days and can be extended up to three months, according to an official statement reported by PTI.
The Indian Opinion
Unpaid internships always draw fire, but the scheme offers structured exposure to cyber law and forensic science that most law colleges lack. Critics will call it free labour; supporters will call it a foot in the door. The real test is uptake: if all 100 slots per batch fill quickly, students clearly see value beyond a stipend. Will the force convert this into a paid pipeline, or will it remain a symbolic gesture?
