The internship caters primarily to students, interested in gaining knowledge about the South Asian region and the security issues that confront it today.

"The environment is an encouraging and inspiring one with many like-minded people focused on interesting global issues from religion to nuclear weapons to regional stability to mention a few. The collaborative nature of the workplace empowers development of ideas and strengthening of research approaches. The team engages regularly group discussions which range from light hearted discourse to considered debate and everyone is included. I very much look forward to the rest of my time here and to working more with the IPCS team."
-Shanta Maree Surendran, Research Intern(February 2013 to April 2013)

"The Institute allows interns the freedom to work on subjects that they find interesting. I did research on insurgent groups in the Afghan-Pakistani border region and wrote three commentaries, a research paper, and an op-ed which was published in the Hindustan Times. I also liked the fact that the IPCS has a wide variety of research programs. The cross-pollination of knowledge from various research areas provides new and interesting insights and ideas. My time at the IPCS has been an unforgettable experience and has convinced me to pursue a career in academia."
-Sander Ruben Aarten, Research Intern(October 2012 to January 2013)
