Position Overview
The Indian Army invites applications for a technical internship dedicated to advancing indigenous wargaming capabilities. Interns will engage in high-level modeling, simulation, and operational analysis to support next-generation military research. The program emphasizes innovation, discipline, and the development of robust decision support systems. This is a specialized technical role focused on strengthening simulation infrastructure.
Key Facts
This engagement is based in Delhi and runs for a fixed duration of 75 days. The start date is 17-Aug-2026, with the final application deadline on 02-Aug-2026. The posting was published on 19-Jul-2026. The stipend for successful completion is up to ₹75000, and participants can earn 15 credits. The engagement is full-time, requiring consistent on-site presence.
Responsibilities and Tasks
As an intern, you will contribute directly to the development of AI-enabled wargaming solutions, combat simulation models, and decision support systems. Your work will involve constructing and testing software components to ensure they meet strict operational standards. You will participate in software development, testing, validation, documentation, and the evaluation of research outcomes. The role demands long working hours, dedication, commitment, and, above all, an innovative mind. You will chart model parameters and verify outputs against expected tactical behavior. also, you will draft technical guides that clarify validation steps for future teams and examine research results to refine documentation for operational clarity. Coordination with supervisors will ensure daily activities align with project milestones. You will also organize code artifacts and testing routines for systematic evaluation to support integration of modules within broader wargaming infrastructure.
Required Skills and Tools
Proficiency in Python is essential for developing simulation workflows and data processing tasks. Candidates must demonstrate skills in Machine Learning to contribute to intelligent modeling efforts. Experience with Java is required to construct software components within development environments. These technical tools form the foundation for all development and testing activities.
Eligibility and Application Criteria
Applicants must be pursuing or have completed an M. Tech. or M.E with specialization in Computer Science and Engineering. Alternatively, candidates with an M. Tech. or M.E with specialization in Computer Science and Information Technology are eligible. Availability for the full 75-day internship period is mandatory.

About the company
On 1 April 1895, a land force came into being, joining earlier presidency armies under one structure. A civilian leader holds ultimate command, while a chief of staff guides operations. Older regional forces joined this formation, creating a unified ground component for the empire. That force saw action across many regions, collecting battle honours. Its legacy continues through merged units and regiments with distinct histories, shaping a shared institutional memory.
