Note:

Why Join This Internship

• Contribute to India’s energy transition

  through clean coal technology.

• Hands-on exposure

  to coal sampling, washability, and beneficiation testing.

• Direct mentorship

  from experienced founders and engineers (Harvard, Duke, and deep-tech backgrounds).

• Industry interface

  with PSUs, research institutions, and global technology partners.

• Fast-track career growth

  through performance-based PPO opportunities.

What You’ll Work On

1. Coal Characterization & Evaluation

• Conduct proximate, ultimate, and

  washability analysis

  .
• Assess ash distribution, size fractions, and coal suitability for beneficiation.

2. Pilot Operations & Testing

• Assist with test runs on

  dry coal separation

  equipment (air-based, XRT, or FGX systems).
• Record and interpret performance data – throughput, yield, and ash reduction.

3. Technical Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain test data, SOPs, and process logs.
• Prepare concise performance summaries and technical reports.

4. Regulatory & Engagement Support

• Help with quality certification documentation and safety protocols.
• Contribute to PSU and government tender preparation materials.

  Mining Engineering, Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, Mineral Processing, or Fuel Engineering.

• Exposure to

  coal preparation, washability analysis, or beneficiation plants

  is desirable.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.
• Keen interest in

  coal technology, plant operations, and industrial R&D.

• Applications from e-waste, battery recycling, or chemical-engineering backgrounds will not be considered.

Explicit Exclusion:

Past Intern Experience

“An outstanding experience—hands-on exposure to real beneficiation testing, industry-relevant learning, and close mentorship.”

— Former Intern, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad

How to Apply

• Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a technical and reasoning interview.

• Deadline:

  Rolling basis (early applications preferred).
