Want to intern inside a DRDO lab? Not many students get that chance. The DRDO INMAS Paid Internship applications for the 2026 cycle closed on 30 April 2026. This program typically has a small number of seats.
The program runs at the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), Delhi, a specialized DRDO lab working on radiation countermeasures and soldier health research. If your background is in computer science, biotechnology, chemistry, or related sciences, this one is worth a serious look.
Applications for the 2026 cycle are now closed. The next cycle is expected to open around early 2027. In the meantime, review the eligibility criteria and required documents. Preparing these now will ensure you are ready to apply when the next cycle opens.

For students aiming at research labs or defence tech roles, internships like this add serious credibility to your profile. We've seen many students combine these with other research programs such as the PRL Summer Internship or the NISER Summer Internship while building their research portfolio.
Only a specific group of students can apply for this internship. INMAS looks for final‑year candidates with strong academic records.
Selection is primarily merit‑based. However, the lab may conduct a short interaction via video call or phone before confirming the final list.
The DRDO INMAS Paid Internship offers very limited positions across engineering and science fields.
The number of seats can change depending on lab requirements. The official notice mentions that vacancies may increase or decrease at the discretion of INMAS.
Interns receive a stipend of ₹5,000 per month. Payment happens in two installments.
If an intern leaves before completing three months, no stipend is paid and no certificate is issued.
DRDO does not provide accommodation or travel reimbursement. You'll need to manage boarding, lodging, and transport expenses on your own while staying in Delhi.
This part trips up many applicants. The DRDO lab requires several documents, and they must be combined into a single PDF file before emailing.
The referral letter is a bonafide confirmation from your college. It must be printed on official college letterhead and signed by the Principal, Director, or HOD. The letter confirms that you are a legitimate student and the college permits you to undergo a six‑month internship at INMAS.
You'll also need to sign an Undertaking Form (Annexure C). This declaration states that you will follow the Indian Official Secrets Act, 1923, comply with DRDO lab rules, and not share any research information on social media or external platforms.
The application process is slightly different from typical internship portals. You'll need to complete both an email submission and a Google Form.
If selected, you'll need to bring several original documents for verification.
You'll also submit bank account details so the stipend can be transferred directly after completing the internship milestones.
With only eight seats available, competition will be tight.
A few things that tend to help:
If you're applying to multiple programs, keep track of deadlines. For example, the IGCAR STIPAC Summer Training and the SVNIT Summer Internship also typically close applications around April.
