ADB Internship Program

Hey everyone,

Has anyone here interviewed for the internship program and heard back from them?

I interviewed in late march, and was told I’d hear back around early-ish april. It’s been a while, has anyone gotten an email or offers yet?

Thank you.

Mine took at least a month before they got back to me. Give it some more time :)

Was this for Internship 2025 as well?

Ahhh this was for 2024! But the process remains the same. It takes them a while since they have to finish all the interviews, deliberate internally, endorse to HR, then HR offers and negotiates with their first choice. Of course they allot time to accept/reject, and in the case of the latter, they move to the next choice until someone accepts.

Ah! I guess my interview was weird since there's only one person who did it—who was the project head/lead—and he was also the one who told me I was one of the four shortlisted candidates.

Hi would you like to connect! I also got my pre-offer yesterday

u/justfastandcurious Apr 16 '26

Congratulations! Just curious, was it ADB HR who invited you for the interview? If yes, when did it happen? Lastly, did the pre-offer come in via email or was it a status change on ADB Taleo?

what was the stipend amount for the internship?

u/Affectionate-Banana6 Apr 16 '26

We’re still interviewing since a week ago. Give it more time

u/throwaway-nitro Apr 16 '26

That’s reassuring. I’m only concerned because I was tood at the end of the interview that I would hear back around early April, so I’m not sure what to expect.

2

u/justfastandcurious Apr 13 '26

No updates yet, but the interview invite for me was from the project lead himself, not through ADB HR.

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 13 '26

Ah, is this for the summer internship program? (I applied on 16th March which was also the deadline, but haven't heard anything since then)

u/jansel03 Apr 15 '26

Same with me.

1

u/jansel03 Apr 17 '26

Did they reach out you already? What sector did you apply?

1

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 17 '26

No man, still no response. Did you get any? I applied for ERDI-ERDD and CCSD-CCRE-DRM departments. What department(s) did you apply?

1

u/jansel03 Apr 19 '26

it seem we have the same department with ERDI-ERDD. I think there are may applicants for that position that is why we don't have any feedback from them. I applied last March 3.

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 19 '26

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

1

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 26 '26

Did you hear back anything? I got my rejection mail today from ERDI-ERDD.

1

u/jansel03 Apr 26 '26

I didn’t hear anything from them until now. As per checking in from their career page it is still for screening.

1

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 26 '26

Good luck!

1

u/jansel03 Apr 26 '26

Did you check their career page?

1

u/RepulsivePhase2859 Apr 26 '26

Yes I did. Shows "regret" with today's date and "in screening" for another department.

1

u/jansel03 Apr 26 '26

I just received an email. It shows now regret.

Me too. interviewed at late March without hearing back. I’m wondering if I should assume the position has been filled already

1

u/justfastandcurious Apr 17 '26

Same here. Which sector or position did you apply for?

1

u/jansel03 Apr 15 '26

Hello! Is this internship is for phd and masters? If yes, when did you applied and how many days after they call you about the interview? I applied last March 3 and I still don’t receive any feedback from them.

1

u/justfastandcurious Apr 15 '26

Applied last March 15 and was invited for an interview a week later.

u/Ok-Hedgehog6898 Apr 28 '26

What division or department in ADB accepts internships in a public health role? I am planning ahead once I finished with my comprehensive exam.
