 ernships focus on areas such as internet governance\, domain name systems\
 , IPv6 deployment\, cybersecurity awareness\, research and policy analysis
 \, data analytics\, and network infrastructure. Interns gain hands-on expe
 rience\, mentorship from industry experts\, and an understanding of nation
 al-level internet operations\, enhancing both technical and research skill
 s.\n\nThe session concluded with interactive discussions\, where students 
 gained clarity on eligibility criteria\, application procedures\, and care
