A software company in Infocity, Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar, is hiring a Junior IT Project Manager for a paid, on-site internship, with a stipend of up to ₹15,500 a month. No prior professional experience is required. This is built as a genuine entry point into project management for someone who's finished their degree and wants structured exposure to how software projects are actually run, rather than as a placeholder title for someone doing unrelated admin work. The internship runs alongside a live product team, so the work touches real timelines and real deliverables rather than a simulated exercise.
A bachelor's degree is the baseline qualification, and candidates from computer science, information technology, or a similarly technical background tend to have an easier time picking up the work, since a good chunk of the role involves following what development, product, and QA teams are actually building. That said, this is explicitly an entry-level internship, so the company is weighing potential and coursework more heavily than a polished résumé. A candidate who's led a college project team or coordinated a hackathon submission has usually developed more relevant instincts than someone judging themselves purely on grades.
The internship is built around a few core skills:
- Project planning, including breaking larger initiatives into tasks with realistic timelines
- Stakeholder management, keeping the right people informed at the right level of detail without burying them in updates
- Risk management, spotting things early that could derail a timeline rather than discovering them at the deadline
- Working knowledge of Agile methodologies, since most of the teams here run on some flavor of Scrum or Kanban
None of these need to be fully mastered coming in. Coursework, a class project run using Scrum, or even a well-organized student club counts as real exposure.
Day to day, the intern helps break incoming feature requests and project asks into tasks the development team can actually plan against, sits in on daily stand-ups and sprint ceremonies with the product, QA, and engineering teams to keep a running picture of where things stand, and reviews completed work against a quality checklist before it gets signed off. Risk tracking is part of the job too. Rather than waiting for a problem to surface on its own, the intern keeps a log of potential project slowdowns and flags them to the senior project manager early, whether that's a dependency on another team that's running late or a vendor tool that keeps having outages. When users or internal stakeholders report issues with something already shipped, the intern helps route those reports to the team member who owns that part of the system. A fair amount of the role also comes down to writing things up clearly, since a vague status update or risk note ends up costing more time later than it saves now.
None of the following are expected on day one, but they'll help someone stand out among applicants. Prior exposure to a project-tracking tool like Jira or Trello counts for a lot here, since much of the daily work happens within one. A basic grasp of how a software development lifecycle typically unfolds, from requirements through testing to release, makes the ramp-up noticeably smoother. Comfort building a clear status report in a spreadsheet is another practical plus, and anyone who's started working toward a foundational project management credential, even informally, will find that background genuinely useful here. Actually using a burndown chart or a sprint board, rather than only reading about how one works, also tends to shorten the learning curve considerably.
Benefits for this internship include:
- A monthly stipend
- Mentorship from a senior project manager who reviews the intern's work directly rather than leaving them to figure things out alone
- A certificate of completion at the end of the term
- Strong potential for a full-time offer, since the company has made a habit of converting a good share of each intern cohort
- Relocation assistance for anyone moving to Bhubaneswar from another city
- Accommodation support during the initial move
Infocity in Chandrasekharpur has grown into one of the more concentrated tech clusters in the city, and Naukri Mitra regularly sees IT project manager internship listings in Bhubaneswar originating from this exact stretch of offices. Pay for this one sits close to what's typical for an IT project manager internship in Bhubaneswar for students right now, and since it's structured as a genuine on-site experience rather than a remote arrangement, the intern gets to sit in the room for the planning conversations rather than following along secondhand over a call. Students studying elsewhere in Odisha or nearby states will find Bhubaneswar's IT corridor compact enough to get oriented in quickly, especially with accommodation support already sorted before the internship starts.
The team running this program keeps things fairly hands-on. New interns typically shadow a senior project manager for the first couple of weeks before taking ownership of a smaller project, with regular check-ins to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. It's not always calm; a project can hit an unexpected snag close to a deadline, and part of what the internship teaches is how to keep a team moving forward through exactly that kind of disruption rather than freezing up. By the end of the term, most interns have run at least one small project largely on their own, with the senior PM stepping in only when something genuinely needs to be escalated.
To apply, send a resume along with a short note on any coursework, group projects, or extracurricular activities where you've organized people or tasks toward a deadline. The process includes a conversation about how you'd approach a sample project scenario, followed by a discussion with the hiring manager about internship dates and availability. Most candidates hear back within a week or so of the final conversation, and the hiring manager tries to be clear up upfront about which internship batch a candidate would actually join, since dates shift depending on when the current cohort wraps up.
