Core Benefits: Why You Should Apply

Participating in the QUEST-NHMP internship program offers distinct professional advantages:

Practical Exposure: Gain direct field understanding of NHMP operations, institutional discipline, road safety metrics, and tactical traffic management.
Problem Solving: Work on high-impact, real-world issues affecting national highway infrastructure.
Project Incubation: High-performing individuals can scale their internship work into Final Year Projects (FYPs), fully functional prototypes, Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), or startup incubation ideas backed directly by ORIC support.

Step-by-Step Nomination Process

Because this is an institutional program, applications cannot be submitted to the NHMP directly. Interested candidates must follow the internal university pipeline:

Departmental Contact: Reach out directly to your respective Departmental Chairperson.
Chairperson Review: The concerned chairperson will evaluate academic standing and eligibility.
Official Forwarding: Approved nominations will be officially forwarded by the chairperson to the Directorate of Industrial Liaison (DIL) and ORIC, QUEST, for final administrative coordination.

Important Policy Note: Final selection and workplace placement remain strictly subject to formal departmental nomination, internship seat availability, NHMP operational feasibility, and the final approval of competent authorities.
