BIS Announces 500 Student Internships to Boost Standards Awareness

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), India’s national standards body, has unveiled 500 internship opportunities for students from its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) partner institutions. Announced during the Annual Convention of BIS Standardisation Chairs and Nodal Faculty, the initiative aims to deepen student engagement with India’s quality and standardisation ecosystem.

Targeted at students pursuing 4-year and 5-year degree programmes, as well as postgraduates and diploma holders, the 8-week internships will include a mix of pre-standardisation research in two major industries, fieldwork on Quality Control Order (QCO) compliance in collaboration with BIS offices, and visits to manufacturing units, MSMEs, and testing laboratories. Interns will study production processes, in-process controls, and quality assurance mechanisms, gaining hands-on experience with conformity assessment procedures.

The BIS-Academia collaboration has already yielded significant outcomes:

Standardisation content introduced in curricula at 15 institutions 130+ R&D projects launched Over 50 BIS Corners and Academic Dashboards created 198 Standards Clubs set up across 52 campuses 3,400+ students from 74 institutes took part in national quizzes

Director General Shri Pramod Kumar Tiwari called the initiative a “shared national mission” to embed a culture of quality across academia. Deputy Director General (Standardisation), Shri Rajeev Sharma, encouraged action-driven partnerships to bolster the country’s quality infrastructure.

The convention also featured sessions on standards-focused curriculum development, student engagement, and academic outreach. Representatives from 58 institutions participated, and five—including IIT Roorkee and NIT Jalandhar—were recognised for outstanding contributions.

With this ambitious internship programme, BIS reinforces its commitment to shaping a generation of quality-conscious professionals and fostering a robust culture of standardisation across Indian higher education.
