Internship (Competition Law and Policy)
Application Closed
CUTS Institute for Regulation and Competition (CIRC) offers an internship programme in Competition Law and Policy for students and young professionals interested in research, policy, and regulatory issues.
CIRC primarily focuses on competition policy and law, economic regulation in infrastructure sectors, and public policy, with an objective of reaching out to stakeholders in India and other developing countries in Asia and Africa.
Since its inception, CIRC has undertaken several trainings, seminars, public lectures, and research initiatives on competition policy and law in India and abroad, and continues to contribute to knowledge-building in this field.
About The Internship
This internship is offered for graduate students, law students, post-graduate students, economists, and candidates with a relevant understanding of competition law and policy.
Interns are expected to dedicate their time, talent, and creativity to assigned work. In return, they gain valuable learning opportunities and experience that support both academic and professional growth. A supervisor is assigned to oversee the work and ensure a structured research agenda during the internship period.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
