During the probationary period, there will be regular reviews regarding the performance and the candidates are expected to show steady progress. The performance on each task will be checked and measured using a thorough monitoring system and has to be satisfactory at every stage during the probationary period.

We use a flat hierarchy structure at Benny Kuriakose and Associates, where everyone is treated equally in terms of work and responsibilities.

Our work encompasses more than just architectural projects; it also includes research, writing, audio-visual presentations, 3D images, photo editing, publications, website designing and its development, social media, etc. Opportunities for proper training and equipping of these skills will also be provided. This internship is not intended for students and is open only to the graduates.

Salary

A stipend of Rs. 18000/- would be paid during the beginning. The performance will be reviewed and evaluated regularly and the candidates are expected to show steady progress.

If somebody has more experience or higher qualifications, we may consider paying a higher stipend after three months if their performance and contribution to the office are more or equal to that of young architects or engineers who are regular employees.
