    • Duration: 4–12 weeks
    • Mostly unpaid, but offers valuable exposure to large-scale infrastructure and transport projects
    • Apply via placement cell or direct email with resume + college NOC

🧾 Insider Tips from Past Interns

“Interning at ICF cost money for 15 days: ₹5,900 (including GST)… must know someone in the Railway for entry approvals.” — Reddit commentary from an intern at ICF, Pune

  • Many internal internships (e.g., at workshops or training centers) require college NOC and a reference or contact from within Railways.
  • Some internal training programs may charge fees (as noted at ICF)—and offer limited technical engagement.

🧩 Other Training & Internship Institutes

  • Centralised Training Institutes (CTIs) across Indian Railways offer short courses—for example:
    • IRICEN (Civil, Pune)
    • IRIMEE (Mechanical/Electrical, Jamalpur)
    • S&T training center at Secunderabad
      These are primarily for in-service officers—but they may occasionally accept external trainees via institution or official request
  • Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (formerly NRTI) in Vadodara/focuses on rail and logistics training, and regularly incorporates internships or project attachments for its B.Tech/MBA students
