TISS Computer Centre IT Intern Recruitment 2026

TISS IT Intern Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Computer Centre of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai, keeps an open internship notification running for students and fresh graduates who want hands-on IT work inside a deemed university. TISS is a Deemed University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, and a grant-in-aid institute under the Ministry of Education, so the work you do here sits inside a real government-funded campus IT setup rather than a classroom exercise.

The internship is built around three areas: IT policy work that turns rules into usable guidelines, documentation and training for the Samarth portal that the institute runs its academic and administrative processes on, and internet technologies with a focus on network security. The notification stays open through the year and the Computer Centre picks candidates in quarterly rounds, so this is a good fit if you are in the middle of a programme and want a short, structured stint on your CV.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Duration: you must be able to commit a minimum of 45 days and a maximum of three months to the Computer Centre.
• Coursework: you should already have finished the programming papers or the project management papers of your curriculum — the Centre expects you to start working, not to learn the basics on the job.
• Stipend: the selection panel recommends the amount from your qualification, your skill set and the nature of the work handed to you, so two interns need not be paid alike.
• Shortlisting: applications are screened every quarter, and the number of interns taken depends on the vacancies and the requirement of the institute at that time. Meeting the qualification alone does not entitle you to a call.
• Institute's discretion: TISS reserves the right to fill or not to fill the intern positions, and no correspondence about call letters or selection is entertained at any stage.
• Canvassing: any form of canvassing gets a candidate debarred from consideration.
• Joining: a selected candidate has to join within eight days of selection.
• Travel: no TA/DA is payable for attending the interaction.

Application Submission Notes

There is no online form for this one. Email your application or resume to itsmc-internship@tiss.ac.in and the Computer Centre adds it to the next quarterly screening round. You hear back from the Computer Centre by email about when to attend the interaction, so use an address you check often.

Carry a coloured passport-size photograph and self-attested photocopies of the certificates that prove your qualification to the interaction. Original certificates are checked only for the candidate who is finally selected, at the time of appointment.
