Exciting Opportunity for Indian Students: Internship Platform Launched by Consulate General of India in New York!

The Consulate General of India (CGI) in New York has some exciting news for Indian students studying in the United States! They have recently launched a dedicated platform to help students find internship opportunities at various companies across the country. This initiative aims to support Indian students in the northeastern United States by providing them with valuable internship opportunities in a wide range of sectors including Information Technology, Finance, Healthcare, Artificial Intelligence, and more.

In addition to internship opportunities, the portal also offers information about experts who provide psychological and healthcare advice to Indian students. The CGI has partnered with renowned attorneys to assist Indian citizens facing legal issues and doctors who can offer mental health services, including psychiatry counseling. Telemedicine consultations are also available for those who need them.

The CGI advised students to apply directly to the companies listed on the portal and reiterated that they have no role in the selection process for internships. Eligible Indian students studying in the northeastern United States can now explore internship opportunities in various sectors and apply directly through the portal provided by the CGI.

With Indian students constituting more than 25% of the over one million foreign students studying in the United States, this initiative is a great opportunity for them to gain valuable work experience and expand their professional network. The number of international students from India studying in the United States has been steadily increasing, reaching an all-time high of 268,923 students in the academic year 2022-23, according to the Open Doors Report (ODR).

Indian students in the northeastern United States can take advantage of this new platform to explore internship opportunities, receive legal and medical referrals, and enhance their overall experience while studying in the US. This initiative by the Consulate General of India in New York is sure to benefit the Indian student community and strengthen the ties between India and the United States.
