Hey guys, I’m really keen on applying for the PRL Summer Internship 2025, but I’m a bit confused about the start date. Does it usually kick off in May or June? Also, what’s the eligibility criteria, and when do applications typically close? I checked the PRL website, but there’s no info for 2025 yet. If anyone’s done this internship before, could you share how the timeline works and what the selection process is like?

Also, is the internship fully offline, or do they have a hybrid option? And what documents do they usually ask for like recommendation letters or academic records? Any tips or advice would be super helpful! Thanks a ton!
