National e-Governance Division Technical Internship Recruitment 2026 - 50 Slots

National e-Governance Division (NeGD) has announced the Technical Internship Summer Programme 2026 to give engineering students and recent graduates practical exposure to real government technology projects. The internship is connected with India's e-Governance work and covers software development, UI/UX, cybersecurity testing, database programming, business analysis, data engineering, AI/ML/IoT and DevOps. Instead of a classroom-only internship, you may work on APIs, responsive interfaces, VAPT reports, database backups, dashboards, chatbots, CI/CD workflows and monitoring tools, depending on the role selected for you. This is a six-month offline internship from July to December 2026, so selected interns must attend the organisation daily as per NeGD working hours.

Vacancy Breakdown by Role

The biggest group of openings is in Product Testing / Security Testing / Software Testing / Quality Analysis with 11 slots. Four technical tracks have 6 slots each: developer, frontend/UI-UX, database programmer and business analyst. Data engineering, AI/ML/IoT and DevOps each have 5 slots, so students should select the track that best matches their technical skills and coursework.
