Key Highlights — SAMEER WBL Internship 2026
SAMEER is a premier research and development laboratory in the field of microwave and electromagnetic engineering, with its main campus inside the IIT Bombay campus at Powai, Mumbai.

How Many Seats Are There in SAMEER Internship 2026? Category-Wise Vacancy List
This is a reserved-category programme by design. The notification states its objective plainly — to give SC, ST, EWS and Women candidates a chance to build technical skills in emerging technologies. Here is how the 18 seats are divided.
| Category | Seats |
|---|---|
| SC | 5 |
| EWS | 5 |
| ST | 4 |
| Women | 4 |
| Total | 18 |
SAMEER has clearly written that the actual number of candidates selected may depend upon the overall requirement at the time, so treat 18 as the planned figure rather than a fixed promise.
What is the Eligibility for SAMEER WBL Internship 2026? Qualification and Age Limit
Educational Qualification
You must be a Graduate Engineer (or equivalent) or an M.Sc. graduate who has completed the degree within the last three years. Here are the accepted specialisations, exactly as listed in the notification.
B.Tech branches eligible:
- Electronics
- Electronics and Telecommunication
- RF & Microwave
- Mechanical
- Computer Science
- Information Technology
- Instrumentation
- Electrical
- Engineering Physics
M.Sc. specialisations eligible:
- Physics
- Electronics
- Atmospheric Physics
- Medical Physics
- Optoelectronics
One more thing worth knowing — the AICTE portal listing additionally shows MCA as an eligible qualification, even though the notification PDF does not mention it. Since the portal is the only place you can actually apply, MCA students should check the listing before ruling themselves out. Good news for students still studying too — the notification says final-year students are also eligible to apply. SAMEER also expects you to have a strong technical aptitude and programming skills in C, C++, Python, Matlab or Fortran as applicable to your area. If you are an engineering graduate hunting for government opportunities or a post graduate science student, you fit this profile well.
Age Limit
The notification does not prescribe any minimum or maximum age. The only time-based condition is that your degree must have been completed within the last three years.
Work Areas You Will Be Trained In
Interns are engaged in research, design, development, testing, integration and maintenance across Electronics, RF & Microwave Systems, Embedded Systems, FPGA/ARM, Control Systems, Atmospheric and Medical Instrumentation, High Voltage & Pulsed Power Systems, Vacuum Technology, Accelerator Physics, Software Development, Data Processing, Scientific Computing, Industrial Safety and Test & Measurement. The work may involve hardware and software development, simulations, system integration, calibration, field evaluation, scientific data analysis, laboratory testing and operation and maintenance of advanced engineering systems.
What is the Stipend and Salary for SAMEER Internship 2026?
Unlike many college internships that pay nothing, this one is a properly paid programme. The notification states the figure twice, and both times it is the same.
- Stipend: Minimum ₹10,000 per month
- Duration of payment: for the full 6 months of the internship
- Terms: as per WBL Norms
Over the full six-month internship, a stipend of ₹10,000 per month works out to about ₹60,000 in hand, apart from the experience you gain.
Beyond the money, the real reward is the exposure. The notification puts it well — interns “gain rich work experience working on live State level or National Level initiatives”, mentored by the scientists and experts at SAMEER. Do note two practical points: no accommodation is provided, and no TA/DA is paid if you are called for any stage of the selection process. So plan your stay in Mumbai accordingly.
What is the Selection Process for SAMEER Internship 2026?
The notification does not publish a detailed marks-based selection formula. What it does tell us is clear enough to prepare for.
- Apply online through the AICTE Internship Portal within the deadline
- SAMEER shortlists candidates from the applications received against the reserved-category seats
- Shortlisted candidates are called for an interview and document verification
- Final selection is communicated to the selected candidates, who then join for the 6-month programme
Two warnings straight from the notification, and please take them seriously. First, merely attending the interview or document verification does not guarantee selection as an intern. Second, no TA/DA will be paid if you are called at any stage. Prepare your basics well — for an RF and electronics role, expect questions on your core subjects, your final-year project and your programming skills. You can strengthen your fundamentals using the preparation strategy guides on our site.
How to Apply Online for SAMEER Internship 2026?
The application is fully online through the AICTE Internship Portal — there is no offline form and nothing has to be posted. Keep your resume, degree or provisional certificate, mark-sheets, category certificate and a passport-size photograph ready in scanned form before you start.

What is the Last Date to Apply for SAMEER Internship 2026? Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Advertisement number | 07/2026 |
| Internship start date | Immediately |
| Last date to apply (AICTE Portal) | 9 August 2026 |
| Duration of internship | 6 months |
One clarification that will save you confusion. The notification PDF prints the last date as 26 July 2026, but the AICTE Internship Portal listing for this same internship currently shows “Apply by 09-Aug-2026” — the deadline has been extended on the portal. Since the application is accepted only through that portal, 9 August 2026 is the date to work with. Please still confirm it on the listing page before you submit, because portal dates can be revised again.
Is There Any Application Fee for SAMEER WBL Internship 2026?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| SC / ST / EWS | Not specified in the notification |
| Women | Not specified in the notification |
The notification does not mention any application fee, payment mode or fee exemption anywhere in its two pages. Internships listed on the AICTE Internship Portal are normally free to apply for, but since the document is silent on this, please check the fee position on the portal listing itself before you submit. We will update this section as soon as SAMEER clarifies.
