Mumbai Port Authority Professional Intern Recruitment 2026: 10 Contract Posts in Marine Department

Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA) is recruiting 10 Professional Interns for its Marine Department under Advertisement No. DC/P/Prof.Intern(2026)/2465, dated 1 October 2026. These are contract engagements, not permanent jobs. Applications are made offline on the prescribed form, and MbPA must receive them by 21 October 2026. As of 15 October 2026, that date has not yet passed.

Quick facts

Is this an apprenticeship or a permanent job?

Neither. The notice calls the role a Professional Intern engaged purely on contract. It does not describe the engagement as an apprenticeship. The draft Integrity Pact in the notice says that any claim or request for permanent employment will not be entertained. Treat it as a fixed-term contract role.

Selection process

MbPA will scrutinise and shortlist applications based on qualification, experience and the details given in the form. Shortlisted candidates may be called for a test or interview. Shortlisting does not give a right to engagement. Selected candidates must bring original mark sheets, a character certificate and a self-declaration at joining. They must also submit a relieving letter if currently employed, and engagement depends on medical fitness and police verification.

What the notice does not say

• It mentions no application fee, and I cannot confirm whether one applies.
• It gives no test syllabus, exam pattern, interview date or result date.
• It does not say how to choose among the three areas beyond "clearly indicate your area(s) of interest".
• Annexure numbering is inconsistent. The experience certificate is called Annexure III in the text but appears as Annexure I, and the Integrity Pact is headed Annexure III but referred to as Annexure II. Use the application form from the MbPA website and check the website for any corrections.

MbPA says any corrigendum or change will appear only on its website, under 'People & Career > Jobs'. Check it before posting your application.

Note on third-party job listings

The only other source supplied was a general "Fellow" listing page from a job aggregator with the link text "View Notification & Details". It does not mention this MbPA notice, so this article relies only on the MbPA advertisement.
