Before you post: what actually matters for this role
RAG is where most enterprise AI projects actually stall, so this intern often unblocks more value than a general AI hire. Candidates who came from a search or backend background tend to outperform pure ML candidates, because the hard parts are data plumbing and evaluation.
In Secunderabad specifically, budget ₹22,000–₹60,500 per month for a rag intern — this is one of India’s most competitive markets for this role, so a slow process loses candidates rather than saves money.

Three questions that separate rag 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
Your assistant returns the wrong document. How do you find out whether retrieval or ranking failed?
- 2
How would you chunk a 200-page policy PDF, and why that way?
- 3
What does retrieval recall mean in practice, and how would you measure it here?
