| Order of Preference | ITI first, then Diploma, Graduate, Postgraduate and Class 12 last. |

Who Should Apply
- This is a paid internship under the PM Internship Scheme (PMIS), not a regular government job. The notice calls the people it takes in interns, and it points you to the PMIS portal for internship details and benefits.
- Each Internship ID is for one place: 30 openings at the Coal India head office in Kolkata and 20 at North Eastern Coalfields in Margherita, Assam. Apply only if you can work from that place.
- You do not need a particular subject, because the notice writes Any under Course for all five internships.
- Class 12 passes can apply, but they come last. The notice says a group is looked at only after the group before it is used up, so ITI, Diploma, Graduate and Postgraduate candidates are considered first.
- Age, the length of the internship and similar details are not in this notice, so check them on the PMIS portal before you apply.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Stage 1: Online application | Apply on the PMIS portal between 02.11.2026 and 02.12.2026. Only applications made online on the portal are considered. |
| Stage 2: Qualification group | Candidates are taken in this order: ITI, Diploma, Graduate, Postgraduate, Class 12. The next group is considered only after the group before it has been exhausted. |
| Stage 3: Marks | Inside each group, candidates with higher marks are preferred. |
| Written exam or interview | Not mentioned in the notice. |
In short: there is no exam in this notice. Your qualification group and your marks decide your place, and a Class 12 pass is reached only after the ITI, Diploma, Graduate and Postgraduate groups run out.
Salary and Benefits
The notice does not state the stipend (the monthly amount an intern gets) or any benefits. It asks you to read the PMIS portal for them. The portal’s home page, when we checked it on 02.11.2026, lists Rs 9,000 a month as financial assistance, a one-time Rs 6,000 for incidental costs, and extra company benefits for PMIS internships. Confirm the exact amount for this internship on the portal before you apply.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying anywhere except the PMIS portal. The notice says only online applications on the portal are considered.
- Skipping the instructions on the portal. The notice asks you to read them before you apply, and they hold the age rule and other details this notice leaves out.
- Choosing an Internship ID for an office you cannot reach. Kolkata and Margherita are far apart, and each ID is tied to one place.
- Entering wrong marks. Inside each qualification group, higher marks are preferred, so copy them exactly from your mark sheet.
- Waiting for the last day. The window closes on 02.12.2026, and a busy portal can slow you down.
