KAPS (Gujarat) has no Unreserved seat at all, so a UR candidate cannot be engaged there. The ST and OBC figures include backlog seats. Since you can apply for more than one location, list every site you would really join, and state your preference order. Remember, shortlisting is still done on your Inter CA or Inter CMA marks only.
| PwBD Seat (horizontal, 1 per site) | Reserved For |
|---|---|
| NPCIL HQ, TAPS, RAPS, KGS, GHAVP | (a) LV, (b) D & HH, (c) OA, OL, OAL, BL, BA, CP, LC, Dw, AAV, SD/SI, (d) ASD, SLD, MI, (e) MD |
| NAPS, MAPS, KKNPP | LV (Low Vision) |
| KAPS | D (Deaf) and HH (Hard of Hearing) |
The number of interns may change depending on extension or completion of the current batch. In that case, selection may be kept on hold, cancelled, or the offer may be issued only after the previous batch finishes.

| Minimum Age | 18 years |
| Maximum Age | 56 years |

The upper limit of 56 is unusually wide for an internship. The notification does not print a separate category-wise age relaxation table, and OBC candidates in the Creamy Layer are not entitled to the relaxations and concessions meant for OBC (NCL). Check your exact age on 26 October 2026, not on the day you fill the form.
What is the Salary (Stipend) for NPCIL CA/CMA Interns 2026?
This is a training engagement, not a regular job, so you get a fixed monthly stipend instead of a pay scale.
| Component | Amount / Detail |
|---|---|
| Monthly Stipend | ₹20,000 per month |
| In lieu of Accommodation | Extra ₹5,000 per month if accommodation is not available at the Unit/HQ |
| Accommodation at Units | Single room or bare minimum room on payment of normal licence fee |

| Transport | Site transport free, subject to availability |

| Injury Compensation | As per the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923 |
Absence beyond the allowed leave means a proportionate cut in stipend, and you must still complete the full training period. The training runs for 12 months and can be extended by up to 12 more months case to case, subject to Institute requirements and your performance. The completion certificate is issued only after you finish the training period.
