Overview

About ISEPFO

The Internship Scheme of the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is a central government programme that engages students as short-term interns with EPFO. EPFO administers provident fund and pension schemes for organised-sector workers in India, and the internship sits under its nodal ministry, the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

Its stated purpose is to give interns a working understanding of how EPFO functions, including the departmental and policy matters it handles as part of the Government of India. Interns are attached to the organisation's work, and those who complete the internship are awarded a certificate.

The scheme is meant for students rather than the general public. Law students and candidates in postgraduate courses are among the groups EPFO looks to take on, and the number of intern positions in each round is limited. The detailed eligibility conditions and terms of engagement are set by EPFO for each cycle.
