A viral social media post has misrepresented the stipend details of the Defence Research and Development Organisation's (DRDO) Paid Internship Programme for 2026. The official advertisement from the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) states that the total stipend is ₹30,000, which is divided into two instalments of ₹15,000 each, payable after three and six months of the internship. This translates to a monthly stipend of only ₹5,000, contrary to the viral claim of ₹30,000 per month. The advertisement outlines eligibility criteria, internship duration, attendance requirements, and application deadlines, emphasizing that students should verify such claims through official channels before sharing or applying. Students are urged to consult the official DRDO website for accurate information regarding internships and to be cautious of misleading advertisements that promise high compensation without clear terms.
