What LBSNAA actually does

LBSNAA is the training academy of the Department of Personnel and Training for senior civil servants, in Mussoorie. Officer trainees learn administration here. The Law faculty needs a Teaching Associate (Research Intern) to help with teaching, training and research. This is a government campus seat, not a private chamber internship.

Do not mix this with aggregator posts about a four-week student stay with free food. That claim is not in this advertisement. This PDF is a contractual research-intern seat for a law postgraduate.

What kind of seat this LBSNAA law research intern 2026 is

Contractual Teaching Associate (Research Intern), Law, on the Mussoorie campus. Initial term: six months. It may be extended for another two terms of six months each, on performance appraisal. No engagement beyond three terms. Pay printed: consolidated Rs 40,000 per month. Hostel accommodation is provided on payment of the prescribed rent. The rent amount is not printed. If you travel on official duty, travel is reimbursed at the rates applicable for Group ‘B’ employees. No application fee is printed.

Who should apply — and who should skip

Apply if you have a postgraduate degree in Law with at least 55% marks, you are below 35 years, you can use a computer, and you can live in Mussoorie for six months. Preference is printed for people registered for a PhD, or pursuing an M.Phil in the relevant discipline, and for people who have worked in a similar capacity before.

Skip if you are still in the LL.B. and do not yet have the postgraduate degree. The eligibility line is a postgraduate degree in Law, not a third-year student slot. Skip if you are 35 or older. Skip if you need free accommodation — hostel stay is on payment of prescribed rent. Skip any page that asks you to pay a “selection fee” to a private agent. The only official mail on the advertisement is adminsec.lbsnaa@nic.in.
