CM Punjab IT Internship Program 2026 – Rs 50,000 Monthly Stipend

CM Punjab IT Internship 2026
The Chief Minister’s IT Internship Program, run by the Punjab Information Technology Board, places IT graduates at registered private technology companies across Punjab and pays them a stipend of Rs 50,000 per month. The programme portal is live and accepting candidate registrations, and the government has said the scheme is being expanded to 30,000 internship placements.

There is one thing to be clear about, because it matters. No closing date is published anywhere — not on the portal, not in the Board’s announcements, not in the press coverage. The second cohort’s candidate registration closed on 5 June 2026, and in August the government opened company registrations for the expanded 30,000-placement round without announcing a candidate window. The portal continues to accept profile creation in the meantime. So this is a register-now-and-wait situation rather than a dated advertisement, and anyone telling you there is a specific deadline is inventing it.

The stipend is paid to the intern, and the host company additionally receives Rs 12,500 per intern per month from the programme. That structure is why the scheme has room to scale.

CM Punjab IT Internship 2026 Important Notes

• No deadline has been announced for the current registration. Register now and keep checking the portal rather than waiting for a date that may be announced at short notice.
• The second cohort’s candidate registration closed on 5 June 2026. Company registration for the expanded round opened in August 2026, which usually precedes a candidate intake.
• The portal states 2,000 internships while the government’s August announcement refers to 30,000 placements. Treat the larger figure as the target for the expanded round, not as seats currently available.
• The portal states four months and the earlier cohort announcement stated five. Confirm the duration on your own offer before joining.
• The Punjab government charges no fee for this programme. Anyone asking for money to secure a placement is committing fraud.
