Mumbai Port Authority: Junior Professional Intern (Administrative Assistance)
Mumbai Port Authority has invited applications for 25 Junior Professional Intern (Administrative Assistance) engagements in its Civil Engineering Department. The consolidated remuneration is Rs. 40,000 per month, and the initial engagement lasts two years. This is a full-time internship engagement, not recruitment to a permanent government post. Graduates considering administrative work should check the eligibility clauses and submit the prescribed paper application so that it reaches the department by 6 October 2026.
The advertisement is dated 3 September 2026. It is being shared while its stated application deadline remains ahead; it should not be mistaken for a notification newly issued in October. The administrative positions are distinct from other Mumbai Port internship notices, including marine-related opportunities.
Important details

- Advertisement: CE.Con.02/2026.
- Number of engagements: 25.
- Department and location: Civil Engineering Department, Mumbai.
- Consolidated remuneration: Rs. 40,000 per month.
- Initial duration: two years.
- Application method: prescribed offline form with supporting documents.

Educational qualification and desirable experience
The essential educational qualification is graduation in any discipline, or an equivalent qualification, from an Indian recognised institution. The notice does not limit the degree to engineering or Computer Science. Applicants should use their actual degree details and attach the relevant documentary evidence rather than assume that a different qualification will automatically be accepted as equivalent.
Three years of experience in administration, accounting or correspondence is described as desirable. It is important to preserve that distinction: the notice does not present those three years as an essential requirement, but neither does it promise that inexperienced applicants will be selected. Knowledge of Marathi and Hindi is also desirable. The listed soft skills include communication, analytical ability, multitasking and familiarity with MS Office.
Age and eligibility-date clauses
The age condition states that candidates should be less than 35 years old as on the date of advertisement. Separately, the notice identifies 31 August 2026 as the crucial date for determining eligibility. These two clauses are reproduced distinctly here rather than silently replacing one with the other. Candidates close to the age boundary should consult the complete official notice and obtain clarification from Mumbai Port Authority before relying on an interpretation.
Work, duration and review conditions
Selected interns will perform administrative assistance duties assigned by the Administrative Officer. The notice does not provide a detailed daily task list for every placement, so applicants should not assume a specific accounting assignment, software-development role or remote arrangement. The engagement is full-time, and interns cannot take up another assignment during it.
The initial two-year tenure may be extended by an additional two years, with a two-day break, depending on performance. No further extension is provided for under these terms. Performance is reviewed every six months. An orientation period of one to two weeks is mentioned, and interns are required to have their own laptop.
Working hours are stated as 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the possibility of additional or holiday work when required. Compensatory-rest conditions are governed by the notice. Applicants should consider these requirements when judging availability; the programme should not be described as flexible work from home.
Remuneration and benefits: what is and is not included
The monthly amount is consolidated remuneration, not a salary figure plus guaranteed government allowances. A five per cent annual increment is linked to performance. Tax deduction at source applies. The notice excludes allowances and benefits such as DA, HRA, transport allowance and CGHS-related benefits; readers should not calculate those as additional guaranteed earnings.
The terms provide 20 days of casual leave on a proportionate basis, without leave encashment or carry-forward. Accommodation is subject to availability. Where allotted, rent is ten per cent of remuneration, utilities are additional and the annexure specifies a security deposit equal to two months' rent. Accommodation is therefore neither assured nor free.
The medical terms cover the intern personally through the Mumbai Port hospital's outpatient and inpatient facilities, subject to the notification. They do not amount to unrestricted external medical reimbursement or family coverage. No travelling allowance or daily allowance is payable for interview, joining or completion. An experience certificate is subject to completing at least one year.
How to submit the administrative internship application
- Read the complete official advertisement and its administrative-assistance conditions.
- Use the application form in Annexure IV(B), rather than a form for a different internship category.
- Complete the personal, qualification, experience and reference details accurately. Attach the required self-attested supporting documents.
- Candidates employed in government, public-sector or autonomous organisations should follow the notice's no-objection-certificate requirement.
- Mark the envelope with the exact internship role as instructed.
- Send the complete application to the Civil Engineering Department, 3rd Floor, S. V. Marg, Ballard Estate, Mumbai 400001.
- Allow adequate transit time: the application must be received by 6 October 2026. Dispatching it on that date is not the same as meeting the receipt deadline.
A CV alone is not a substitute for the prescribed form. Selected candidates will also need to meet the original-document, relieving, character-certificate and declaration requirements, together with applicable police and medical verification. The application form includes reference details, so prepare those before submission.
Selection and final checks
The authority may shortlist candidates and conduct a test or interview under the notice; this article does not promise a particular examination format or automatic selection. An application fee is not stated in the reviewed notice. Review any later official clarification before acting, and do not pay an unofficial intermediary on the basis of this article.
Read the official administrative internship notice and application form. The notice is also listed on the Mumbai Port Authority internship page. Check the exact role, age clauses, Annexure IV(B), attachments and receipt deadline before sending your application.
