The Comptroller and Auditor General of India is the constitutional auditor of the Union and the States. Its Headquarters and selected offices run short-term student internships so that selected students can see how public accounts, audits and related work are done.
This is the Headquarters Internship Scheme announced by the 7 July 2026 circular. It is not a recruitment exam and does not lead to a post in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department.
What kind of role this is
This is a short-term unpaid internship, not a job. You work in one of the functional wings at Headquarters or at a listed city office. Duration is a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of six months. You need your own laptop; the office provides workspace and internet. A certificate is issued only if you finish the period you were given and meet the attendance rule.
Who should apply — and who should skip
Apply if
You are an undergraduate who has completed or appeared in the second-year / fourth-semester exams and scored at least 80% in Class 12.
You are a postgraduate or research student who has completed or appeared in the first-year / second-semester exams and scored at least 60% in graduation.
You finished graduation or post-graduation recently, scored 60% or more, and the gap between result declaration and the start of the internship is not more than six months.
You can indicate a clear area of interest from the list of domains and can join in New Delhi or one of the listed cities.
Skip if
You need a stipend (this scheme is unpaid).
You have already applied twice in the same financial year.
You cannot produce original marksheets and a college NOC at the time of joining.
You want a remote or certificate-only arrangement. This is an in-office internship.
