Coal India Limited (CIL), a Maharatna public sector company, has invited applications for 50 internship opportunities under the PM Internship Scheme (PMIS). The posts are Office Intern (Secretarial Practice), Office Intern (COPA) and Office Assistant (Steno Hindi). Please remember this is an internship, not regular employment. If you have passed Class 12, ITI, a Diploma or any degree, this is a chance to spend time inside a central PSU office.
The application window runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 December 2026, and applications are taken only through the PMIS portal. The notice does not print the stipend, age limit, duration or fee, so you must read those on the portal. Read this guide fully, because the preference order decides who gets picked first, and it may surprise Class 12 candidates. Follow GovtJobsAlert.in for the next steps. More PSU job notifications are listed on our site.

For this notice it will engage PMIS interns at its headquarters in Kolkata and at North Eastern Coalfields in Margherita, Assam.

CIL (HQ), Kolkata has 30 opportunities (10 + 15 + 5) and NEC, Margherita (Assam) has 20 (10 + 10), making 50 in all. The notice itself does not print a grand total, so this is the sum of the column. All five are listed as Regular type, and the notice gives no category-wise split. Think honestly about location before you apply: Kolkata is a big city office, while Margherita is a coalfield town in Assam. Choose the place where you can actually reach and stay for the internship, because the notice does not mention any travel or stay support.
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Minimum Qualification | Class 12, any course (all five internships) |
| Who Can Apply | ITI, Diploma, Graduate, Postgraduate or Class 12 |
| Age Criteria | Not mentioned in the notice |
| Experience | Not mentioned in the notice |
Do not rule yourself out if you hold a higher qualification. The notice says ITI, Diploma, Graduate, Postgraduate and Class 12 candidates are all eligible. For full eligibility, read the instructions for PMIS interns on the portal before you apply, as the notice asks. Our 12th pass jobs, ITI jobs and Diploma jobs pages list similar openings.
The notice does not state any stipend, duration or benefits. It only says that internship description, location, eligibility and benefits are shown on the PMIS portal during the application window. We have not filled any figure from general scheme knowledge. Check the portal page of your chosen Internship ID before you apply, and treat any amount you see elsewhere as unconfirmed.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Preference Order | ITI, then Diploma, Graduate, Postgraduate, and Class 12 last |
| Within a Category | Candidates with higher marks are preferred |
| Moving to Next Category | Only after the preceding category is exhausted |
This order matters. A Class 12 candidate is considered only after the ITI, Diploma, Graduate and Postgraduate candidates have been exhausted. The notice does not describe any written test or interview, so the notice gives no other selection stage. For example, if two candidates hold a Diploma, the one with higher marks comes first, and a Graduate is looked at only when the Diploma list has run out. So if you hold an ITI or Diploma, mention it correctly, and if you hold only Class 12, apply anyway but keep your expectations realistic. Keep your marksheets ready and make sure the marks on your profile are correct, since higher marks are preferred in each category.

The window opens on 2 November, so you cannot apply until then. Use the days before it to collect your marksheets and decide between Kolkata and Margherita. The last date is 2 December 2026, so submit on or before that day. Other dates are not given in the notice.
