I was so interested in the field of research in biotechnology so I never tried anything else. But there is very less scope of research jobs in India. Then, one of my relatives suggested me to stop wasting my time and start searching for a job in different field. I did that also. I gave 4-5 interviews of different field. But I did not succeed. After this I got an internship offer which belong to my own field but offering very very low pay. 3 thousand INR. To be precise. Should I take that offer? My family is forcing me to get married. I am 26. Is this too late? Am I old? I never had a boyfriend. Is my life on a wrong track? Am I old to stay single? Plz help. I frequently become anxious to get independent, to fall in love, to set a great life. But at the same time I also feel that I will never be happy independent again. I have conflicts with my mother as well. So my life really became stagnant and monotonous. Please help.

Take the internship and then prove your worth. The pay may not be great but it is better than nothing. The internship will allow you to network and get your name and face in front of others.
Once your mother sees you working every day she will probably get of your back. The internship will also break the stagnation and monotony of your life.
So jump on that internship and spend everyday making the company glad they offered to you.
Best of luck to you.

 Take the Internship. If nothing else it will give you a foot in the door and give you skills you can not learn in college.
Isn't a low paying job better than NO job? 3 years of being unemployed?! Yes, that is hard and why I think you should try the ONLY option you seem to have right now.
Just because you have a shiny degree doesn't mean you automatically will be handed a job. So... yes, I think you should take the Internship.
As for marriage, OP. I can't tell you what to do. I find it odd that your parents haven't guided you more in this. If arranged marriages is part of culture you need to figure out if you want to be part of that or not.
