The Interns presented by Allied Insurance, is a reality TV show designed to seek potential talent and skill for the marketing and advertising industry. In each episode teams will be assigned projects related to marketing, including social media & cause marketing. Each team consists of 5 students from each institute. The winning team will be rewarded with a guaranteed job from Allied Insurance & sponsors along with other prizes. During the show other companies can also express interest for specific interns (including those eliminated) and these will be updated in every show.

Format

Candidate Selection

Candidates are chosen by their respected institutions. Each institution have to select 5 member team to represent their institution.

Tasks

Two competing teams will get the same task to do but in different location. Locations are selected by a lucky draw in the briefing. After the briefing teams go to planning stage where they are given certain amount of time to prepare their business and marketing plan and present that to their team mates. The following day and in some cases same day teams will be heading into the field to complete their task according to the plan which they have created.

Boardroom

After completion of the task, the teams report back to the "boardroom". Where they will be judged on how they have performed their task and its relevance to the business plan which teams have created. At the end of the boardroom one team will get eliminated and the winner will progress to the next round.

Grand Finale

Grand Finale will be held at Dharubaaruge and will be aired live on Television Maldives. Before the "Grand Finale" two finalists will play a bonus round in which elimination will not happen.

Schedule

Unlike most reality television programmes, the whole of The Interns Show is pre-recorded. Show will be aired on national television Television Maldives on every Thursday night 22:00-23:00 (GMT +5).
