The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Internship for You?
This is a nine-month training engagement under PMIS at a Navratna refining PSU, not a job. The stipend is fixed at ₹9,000 per month, including DBT for every title, and the notice explicitly states that CPCL has no obligation to offer employment, absorption or regularisation. The number of opportunities is indicative and may change. Ineligibility rules are strict: family income above ₹12 lakh, any family member in regular government service, prior NATS/NAPS, or degrees from IIT/IIM and similar institutions bar you even if your qualification matches the title.
Best fit: Fresh graduates or diploma holders aged 18–25 whose exact qualification matches one of the 12 printed titles and who clear the family-income and family-employment conditions.
Skip this if you expect a permanent post, travel or boarding support, or if any listed ineligibility condition applies to you.
Practical tip: Note the exact Internship ID for your title before you open the PMIS portal and select it there; other modes are rejected.
What makes this recruitment different is the printed bar on family income and on any family member in regular government employment, together with the clear statement that completion confers no right to employment in CPCL.

- Stipend is Rs. 9000 Per Month Including DBT; no travel expenses and no boarding or lodging by CPCL.
