FAQs —
1. Can I apply to this internship directly without going through my college?
No — EY’s own listing explicitly states interest should be expressed through your Training and Placement Officer first. This means direct, independent application may not be possible unless your college has an active EY recruitment partnership.
2. Does this role involve any actual training or learning content design?
No — despite the “Learning Deployment Specialist” title, every listed responsibility is coordination and administrative support work (billing, documentation, dashboards, client folders). There’s no mention of instructional design or training delivery in the actual job description.
3. Is the stipend for this internship officially confirmed by EY?
No — EY has not disclosed a specific figure. Independent estimates for comparable EY GDS internships range ₹15,000–30,000/month, and Indeed’s broader data for EY interns in India shows an average of ₹23,690/month.
4. Does completing this internship lead to a full-time offer at EY?
Not automatically — Project RISE’s own messaging states successful interns “may also be considered” for full-time employment based on performance and business requirements, which is a possibility, not a guarantee.

Prepare with commonly asked questions for this role
A genuine, honest answer works best — acknowledging you understand the role centers on coordination, documentation, and client support rather than instructional design, and explaining why that kind of structured operational work still appeals to you.
I'd set up a clear filing structure upfront, tag items by urgency and client-facing visibility, and build in buffer time before deadlines rather than working right up to them — consistent organization matters more here than any one-off burst of effort.
I'd focus on the few metrics that genuinely matter for a leadership-level audience rather than including everything available, lead with the headline takeaway, and keep the visual design clean enough to be understood at a glance.
Use a real, specific example — coursework, a part-time job, a college event — since 'diligence and ability to multi-task' is explicitly listed as a required trait for this role, not a generic soft skill.
A genuine answer connects to the scale of GDS specifically — supporting EY's work for clients across more than 150 countries — and shows real interest in operational excellence behind large-scale professional services, not just a generic 'I want to work at a big firm' answer.
