Before you post: what actually matters for this role
The most theory-heavy role in this category and the one where an M.Tech or M.Sc genuinely helps. Supply is thin outside the top engineering institutes, so widen the net with remote options and treat strong open-source contributions as equivalent to a research pedigree.
In Lucknow specifically, budget ₹19,000–₹52,500 per month for a llm intern — well below metro rates for comparable candidates, which makes this an efficient market if the work can be done here or remotely.

Three questions that separate llm intern candidates
These are written so an HR generalist can ask them without domain expertise. You do not need to evaluate the technical answer — listen for whether the candidate reasons from something they actually did, or from something they read.
- 1
How would you decide between prompting, RAG and fine-tuning for a domain-specific task?
- 2
A benchmark says model A is better but your users prefer model B. What do you do?
- 3
Explain what actually changes inside the model when you fine-tune with LoRA.
