The National Assembly of Pakistan is inviting applications for its six-week Parliamentary Internship Programme beginning in June 2025, offering young graduates a chance to gain hands-on experience in parliamentary operations.
The internship is part of the Assembly’s outreach efforts under its Strategic Plan, aimed at increasing youth participation and civic engagement through academic collaboration.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must have completed at least 14 years of education from a Higher Education Commission (HEC)-recognised institution. Those enrolled in four-year undergraduate programmes are eligible after completing two years (or four semesters). Master’s students may also apply.
Eligible academic backgrounds include Law, Economics, Business Administration, Public Administration, Finance, Commerce, HR, IT, Agriculture, Media Studies, and Social Sciences, among others.
Candidates must have secured at least 60% marks or a CGPA of 2.5 out of 4.0. The maximum age limit is 30 years. Students and graduates from remote or underrepresented areas, including Balochistan, Southern Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, are especially encouraged to apply.
What to Expect
Selected interns will work full-time for six weeks, five days a week, for a minimum of eight hours per day. They will undergo a 3–5 day orientation at the Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services (PIPS) in Islamabad and then be assigned to various departments of the National Assembly.
Participants will gain insight into legislative research, public policy, and parliamentary procedures. Interns are expected to maintain at least 85% attendance, observe a formal dress code, and remain non-partisan during the programme. A certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful participation.
