Choose the place where you can actually reach and stay for the internship, because the notice does not mention any travel or stay support.
What is the Eligibility for Coal India PM Internship 2026?
| 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.
What is the Stipend for Coal India PM Internship 2026?
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.
What is the Selection Process for Coal India PM Internship 2026?
| 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.
