Law Internships in India: Latest Opportunities, Eligibility & Application Links

Last Updated: 11 August 2026

Looking for law internships in India?

This page brings together selected internship programmes for LL.B. students, LL.M. students and other eligible law students, including opportunities with government institutions, regulatory bodies, courts, legal-services authorities, law firms and research organisations.

Important: A Programme Existing Does Not Mean Applications Are Open

An internship programme may continue to exist even when its current application window has closed or has not yet been announced.

Therefore, we use the following status system:

Always check the official source before applying. Dates, eligibility, available slots and application procedures may change.

Current & Recurring Law Internships in India

The following are not all “open today.” Their status is deliberately shown separately so students are not misled.

Important: At the time of this update, the research did not establish a fixed-window government/regulatory internship that can safely be labelled “Application Open Today.”

1. SEBI Legal Internship

Organisation: Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
Area: Securities law, corporate law and financial regulation

Who can apply?

The official SEBI framework identifies eligibility including:

• Students in the 2nd/3rd year of a 3-year LL.B.
• Students in the 4th/5th year of a 5-year LL.B.
• Students from a BCI-recognised institution
• Academic requirements prescribed by SEBI

Check the current official application page for the complete eligibility requirements before applying.

Application schedule

SEBI’s internship mechanism operates on a recurring monthly basis.

Applications are ordinarily submitted during:

1–7 of each month → for the following month’s internship.

Therefore:

🔵 Recurring — not necessarily open today

For example, if the monthly window has already passed, students should wait for the next application window rather than assuming that the programme is continuously open.

Mode

Office-based / in-person.

Do not treat this as a remote internship.

2. ALG India Law Offices LLP Internship

Organisation: ALG India Law Offices LLP
Primary area: Intellectual Property Law

ALG offers internships for students enrolled in full-time BCI-accredited law programmes.

The programme includes different categories, including:

• Pre-final-year internship
• Final-year regular internship
• Final-year follow-on internship

The Patent Internship has additional eligibility requirements relating to a science degree or patent-agent status.

Duration

One calendar month.

Location

New Delhi — in-person.

Application

ALG’s application process allows applicants to select from available future internship months. Availability depends on the slots shown by the firm.

Therefore:

🔵 Rolling / Subject to Available Slots

This should not be presented as “Open Today” unless an available month is actually confirmed in the application form.

Payment

Do not assume that all ALG internships are paid.

According to the official information reviewed:

• Pre-final-year internship — unpaid
• Final-year regular internship — unpaid
• Certain final-year follow-on assessment internships — ₹12,500, where applicable

The ₹12,500 amount should not be presented as the stipend for every ALG intern.

Apply through ALG’s Official Internship Page

3. Supreme Court of India — Centre for Research & Planning Internship

Organisation: Supreme Court of India
Programme: Centre for Research & Planning Internship

Important date clarification

The official Supreme Court CRP page currently lists the Internship Scheme dated 22 January 2024.

An old programme date does not automatically mean that the programme has expired.

However:

2024 scheme listed online ≠ applications open in 2026.

The current official page does not establish a current 2026 application window.

Therefore, the correct status is:

⚪ Programme Exists — Current Intake Not Confirmed

Students should not be shown an “Apply Now” button implying that applications are definitely open.

Best way to use this listing

Check the official page for the current intake before applying.

4. Law Commission of India — Voluntary Internship Scheme

Organisation: Law Commission of India
Area: Legal research, law reform and policy

Important date clarification

The Law Commission’s internship scheme is an excellent example of why notice date and current application status must be kept separate.

The scheme is officially listed and remains within its stated programme period. However, the fact that the scheme was issued earlier does not automatically mean applications are open today.

Therefore:

⚪ Programme Exists — Current Window Not Confirmed

Who should consider it?

It can be particularly relevant for students interested in:

• Legal research
• Law reform
• Legislative analysis
• Public policy
• Constitutional and statutory research

5. NALSA Internship Programme 2026

Organisation: National Legal Services Authority (NALSA)

NALSA has an official Internship Programme 2026 page and application material.

However, the currently accessible official information does not establish a current application deadline/window clearly enough to call it “Open Today.”

Status

⚪ Programme Exists — Check Current Window

Apply / Check Official Information

NALSA Internship Programme 2026

Students should read the official programme document before applying.

6. Competition Commission of India — Internship Programme

Organisation: Competition Commission of India (CCI)

CCI offers an internship programme relevant to students interested in:

• Competition law
• Economic regulation
• Market regulation
• Legal research
• Competition-policy issues

The official CCI programme exists, but the current research did not establish a specific August 2026 application window.

Status

⚪ Programme Exists — Current Window Not Confirmed

7. Ministry of External Affairs — International Law Internship

Organisation: Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)
Area: International law and related legal work

The MEA has an official International Law Internship programme.

The programme provides for a ₹10,000 monthly honorarium and limited travel support under the stated scheme.

However, the current research did not establish a currently open 2026 application window.

Status

⚪ Programme Exists — Current Window Not Confirmed

Therefore, it should not be advertised as:

“MEA Internship — Apply Now”

unless a new official application window is confirmed.

The firm’s official internship page provides an internship application mechanism.

The eligibility identified in the research includes:

• 3rd–5th year students of a five-year law course
• 2nd–3rd year students of a three-year law course

However, the currently accessible information does not establish a specific current slot or intake date.

Status

⚪ Programme Exists — Current Slot Not Confirmed

Government & Regulatory Law Internships

Government and regulatory internships can be particularly useful for students interested in:

• Public law
• Constitutional law
• Legal research
• Law reform
• Regulation
• Compliance
• Financial law
• Competition law
• Public policy
• Legal aid

Important programmes to monitor include:

• Law Commission of India
• SEBI
• Supreme Court CRP
• NALSA
• CCI
• MEA
• Department of Legal Affairs

But remember

Government programme exists ≠ Government internship open today.

Always check the current application window.

Recently Closed Internships

Completed opportunities should not remain in the live “Apply” list.

They may be retained separately as an archive or removed from the page.

These should not be presented as current opportunities.

Remote Law Internships

Are remote law internships available?

Some organisations may offer remote or hybrid internships, but we will list an internship as Remote only when the official organisation explicitly confirms it.

An online application form does not make an internship remote.

Similarly, an organisation working in AI or technology does not automatically mean that its internship is work-from-home.

Current verified position

The principal programmes reviewed for this page are predominantly in-person or office-based, or their mode is not clearly specified.

Therefore, we will not fill this section with unverified remote opportunities simply to increase the number of listings.

Remote internship listings will be added only after the official source confirms the mode.

Paid Law Internships

Not every law internship is paid.

Never assume a stipend because an organisation is prestigious.

The exact payment conditions may differ by programme and category.

How We Verify Internships

AspirixWriters follows an official-source-first approach.

We check:

1. Does the internship programme actually exist?

↓

2. Is there a current application window?

↓

3. Who is eligible?

↓

4. What is the deadline?

↓

5. Is it remote, hybrid or in-person?

↓

6. Is it paid?

↓

7. Where is the official application?

Only then is the opportunity assigned an appropriate status.

Third-party websites

Platforms such as LinkedIn, Internshala, Lawctopus, LawBhoomi and other aggregators can help discover internships.

However, where an official source is available, the official source is used for final verification.

☐ Check the current application window
