The students who complete their internship with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change will not have any right to claim a job in MoEFCC or its undertaking organizations. Does this mean that, in future, I won't be able to apply for a job there?

Dear Suparna, I did not mean to say so. You cannot claim absorption in a job just because you have completed this internship there. But if MoEFCC advertises some vacancies in which you are eligible to apply, then you can apply against those vacancies.
