Company posted a requirement for an internship position for 3 months. They got application for the same but during interview it was found that the applicant already is well versed with the roles and responsibilities of that position.
Now he is negotiating that he should be compensated a higher salary since he is not getting to learn anything new but he is going to do the same job he has done before at different firm. Is this behavior professional and should HR offer higher salary to the candidate?
When asked why did he apply for intern position he said because it's required by the institute where he has enrolled for post graduate program to complete 3 months internship.

Short Answer: If you have budget and requirement for an internship, then that is on offer. This person can choose to take that or not.
If the role you have available is for an intern, then that is what you are offering. The person is applying for an internship as this is a requirement for their course.
In the end, you have a role you are offering, and they have an expectation of what they would like to be paid for. The fact is that they are still an intern, so they have to decide if they are going to accept an offer at that level.
It really is up to you if you wish to pay them more for their internship, but I would make it clear that the role on offer is an internship (which they need to complete requirements for their studies) and there is a rate for that role.

I'm also a fan of equal pay for equal work. If the person is good, and they'll want to hire them later, then it makes even more sense to pay them equally since it puts the company in a positive light.

@Malisbad I don't disagree, and as in my answer, it is the prerogative of the employer to make that determination. However, if the company had the budget and requirement for an intern, then they have every right to offer it. The prospective employee/intern then also has the right to disagree and not accept the offer. Remember that the role is meant to be a three-month intern to allow the intern to cover the requirements for their qualification, which was clearly what was discussed with the OP and their firm prior to the candidate requesting higher.

It's really impossible to answer your question without more details.
The pay you can offer them should reflect:
- how much he is worth to you. Is he worth to you more than "normal" interns are? Would you be able to make use of his more developed skills?
- your budgetary constraints. Can you afford to have a new employee?

An internship is not the same as a full-time position with less pay.
An intern:
- little to no responsibility beyond doing the tasks given to them
- learns on the job
- is limited form a few month to a year
A full-term:
- takes ownership of their work from beginning to end
- after on-boarding is done doesn't need to relearn their core function
- stays with the company often for more than a year
A intern should be able to expect some hand holding and ideally to see new aspects of the job he or she is growing into.
An intern position (if done right) takes away time from a more senior employee to onboard and all that specific knowledge leaves the company after 3 months.
For a certain projects interns are a really good fit: e.g. write some stand alone piece of code that is used only for short period of time
Such projects often only get funded, because they can be done by an intern.
Paying an intern a full-time salary makes your "intern projects" more expensive.
So in the end it is not just about the skill set of the candidate it is about what is adequate for the role. There might be a little bit of wiggle room, but if you are looking for an intern for an intern project you really shouldn't pay a full time salary for no reason.
