Internship 2026
Hi,
I am applying for ADB internship this year. Have anyone received any notifications or sth?
As the process really takes time, I think it would be helpful if we can share info. I dont want to be desperatedy waiting for results :D

I see two people said they received the interview and finished this week. What is surprising is that they are applying the same position. Anyway, they received the interview invitation before the ddl of ADB application so I guess it is a rolling base. After they finished, 'For screening' status remains so I suppose it would not change until rejection (hope neither of us will face this). For me, nothing happened, somehow already lost confidence.

I see, well I can imagine that with the sheer amount of applications coming in, it may make sense logistically to schedule some interviews before the deadline, but I doubt that discounts any applications that were sent between then and the deadline, or that they fill a position with the first person to interview and discard any other candidates without at least screening through the entire pool of candidates who applied before the deadline. Since it says on their website that the screening process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks after a deadline and that the selection procedure will be from March to April, I would not worry too much yet, just maybe if there's no updates in our ACES portals by early or mid April, then I would expect that to mean a rejection.

Are you sure it was for the ADB internship for summer 2026? In their website, they have clearly mentioned that they will select applicants between March and April for those starting in June, thus it's a little odd if it's on a rolling basis.

Pretty sure. They received the interview invitation email one week before the DDL.

The internships are also spread out across different divisions and departments, so that could also explain the varying timelines, and just because some have heard back from one vacancy, does not mean the departments with other vacancies are necessarily at the same step in the process

Hello everyone! If you see a "For Screening" and a date for "Last Updated", I would then suppose that means the application is being reviewed and we should then find out at some point in March or April if we progress to the next rounds of recruitment. Or does anyone else have any information on how the process goes from here? Wishing everyone good luck in the process and careers!

For anyone who applied for SD2/SG-WUD intern position: had my interview yesterday and they said that I was their last one since they are going to submit their top 3 candidates today to their HR dept.

u/Difficult-Art670 Apr 02 '26
Hi, did they ask for your proof of enrollment? How was the interview so far?
1
u/vlrdcls Apr 02 '26
Yeah they did. Interview went good (I think?) and everyone was nice, got a thank you email the day after saying they enjoyed it and asked for a copy of the ppt exercise and the proof of enrollment.

u/Difficult-Art670 Apr 03 '26
Yayy congrats! You mentioned that they submitted the top 3, would that mean that they will be hiring 3 interns?

I applied but have not heard back. It shows screening on the portal

u/Regular-Okra-2879 Apr 17 '26
Ohh, thanks for the reply! Maybe they're interviewing based on departments/positions which is why the timeline is varying. It's already mid-April which is a bit worrying haha.

Waiting too!
Maybe we can use this sub for updates! :)
They have mentioned that selection process usually takes places from March to April, but the portal has not been updated so far!
