IBM Internship 2026 is open for Application Developer Interns across more than fifteen Indian cities – but read this first. IBM states that this requirement is only open to candidates who have applied under the Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme through the PMIS portal. If you have not registered on PMIS, applying directly on the IBM site will not work. Eligibility is B.Sc or BCA with 60% throughout. Job 130244.
Job Summary
IBM Internship 2026 — the one line that decides everything
Before you spend any time on this, read the first line of IBM’s own role description: “This requirement is only open for candidates who have applied under the Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme through their portal.” That is not a preference. If you have not registered and applied on the PMIS portal, an application submitted directly on the IBM careers site will not be considered.
- Job 130244, Application Developer Intern – IBM cloud full stack.
- IBM Consulting, Client Innovation Centres (Delivery Centres).
- Internship, 0 years of experience.
- Open across 15+ Indian cities.
- Route to apply: PM Internship Scheme portal first, then this requisition.
What the PM Internship Scheme behind the IBM Internship 2026 is
PMIS is a Government of India programme that places students and recent graduates into twelve-month internships at large Indian companies, with a monthly stipend supported by the government and a one-time grant. Partner companies publish requisitions that only PMIS-registered candidates can fill, which is exactly what this IBM listing is. If you are eligible for PMIS and have not registered, that registration is the actual first step here – not the IBM application.
Eligibility for the IBM Internship 2026
- Graduate degree: B.Sc in Computer Science, Electronics, PCM or similar, or BCA.
- Completed or pursuing final year, as per PMIS guidelines.
- Academic pattern of 12 + 3 years.
- 60% throughout – Class 10, Class 12 and college.
- 0 years of experience – this is a genuine entry point.
- Required education listed as Bachelor’s Degree.
Note what the IBM Internship 2026 does not ask for
B.Tech and B.E are not named. IBM has written this requisition around the three-year graduate pattern – B.Sc and BCA – which is deliberate, because PMIS targets exactly that group. If you are a B.Sc or BCA student who keeps finding that every good tech opening asks for B.Tech, this is one written for you instead.
