Other details
Living arrangements: All interns are required to stay in the NIRMAN guesthouse for the first three months, which is healthy, safe, comfortable, an Indian experience, and brings you in touch with a cross-section of society. There is a cafeteria on both campuses as well as a cafe on our city campus.

Money matters: An internship should last for at least six weeks; there are some cases of two week long internships as well as two year long ones. Interns are required pay for their room and board, which is approximately $245/week. This includes a shared room and 17 meals per week.
