PMIS Intern
Shantanu Debbarma
Geography (Hons) • Maharaja Bir Bikram College

A rewarding internship experience that strengthened my professional skills and understanding of HR management.

My name is Shantanu Debbarma. I am from Agartala, Tripura, and I worked as an intern in the HR (Human Resource) section at the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Tripura Asset under the Prime Minister's Internship Scheme. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Geography from Maharaja Bir Bikram College, Tripura. During my internship at ONGC, I completed the Mine Vocational Training (MVT), where I learned aspects of field safety, work rules and discipline. Along with MVT, I also participated in Soft Skills Training that covered communication, MS Office, time-management and problem-solving. My HR-Department responsibilities have spanned across HRD, Establishment, Hospitality, Retired Employee Services, Estates, CSR and now IR. In each section I have participated in meetings, handled files, learned operational workflow and visited different HR units to deepen my understanding of human-resource management in a large organisation like ONGC. In the IR (Industrial Relations) section, I am learning about employee relations, managing interactions between management and employees, grievance redressal, compliance with labour laws and maintaining healthy industrial relations climate. I express my sincere gratitude to the Prime Minister's Internship Scheme for this tremendous opportunity.
PMIS Intern
Mridul Dey
Diploma in Mechanical Engineering • TTAADC Polytechnic Institute

A valuable internship that provided practical exposure to drilling services, cementing operations and rig operations.

My name is Mridul Dey, and I worked as a Mechanical Intern under the Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS) at ONGC, Tripura Asset. I have completed my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from TTAADC Polytechnic Institute. At the beginning of my internship, we were introduced to ONGC — its operations, vision and significant contribution to the energy sector. This was followed by Mine Vocational Training and Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) training, which emphasized the importance of safety, discipline and compliance in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, we received soft skills training that helped improve our communication and professional conduct in the workplace. Then in the Specialized Service Group (SSG) under Drilling Services, I learned about different types of drill bits, the process of bit selection, nozzle changing procedures and the concept of Rate of Penetration (ROP). Following that, I joined Drilling Fluid Services, specifically in the cementing laboratory, where I learned how to design cement slurry, determine Thickening Time (TT) using high-temperature and high-consistency meters, and measure cement strength through ultrasonic testing equipment. This experience deepened my understanding of how drilling fluids and cementing operations contribute to well stability and safety. Subsequently, I was assigned to the Crisis Management Team (CMT), where I learned about Blowout Preventers (BOPs), choke and kill manifolds, pressure test units and BOP accumulator systems. After completing my CMT assignment, I was posted to Rig E-1400-M1 for three months, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in rig operations. Throughout this journey, my seniors, supervisors and mentors have been extremely supportive and encouraging. This internship has greatly enhanced my technical knowledge, practical skills and confidence in real-time field operations. I am sincerely thankful to the Honourable Prime Minister of India and ONGC for launching this remarkable internship scheme. It has provided young engineers like me with an excellent platform to learn, grow and contribute to nation-building.
PMIS Intern
Susmita Saha
B.Sc. in Physics • Ramthakur College

A valuable internship experience offering practical exposure to petroleum engineering and reservoir management.

I am Susmita Saha, a graduate in Physics from Ramthakur College. I worked as a Reservoir Intern under the Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS) at ONGC, Tripura Asset. This internship has been a valuable opportunity for me to gain practical exposure in the field of petroleum engineering and reservoir management. The internship began with two weeks of theoretical training, which included Mine Vocational Training (MVT) and Soft Skill Development Training. These sessions provided an overview of ONGC's operations, safety measures and professional skill enhancement modules that focused on communication, teamwork, leadership and time management. After completing the initial training, I was posted as a Reservoir Intern in the Sub-Surface Team. During this phase, I learned about various technical aspects related to petroleum and reservoir engineering. In addition to the technical knowledge I gained, this internship significantly helped me enhance my time-management, leadership, teamwork and communication skills. These soft skills have strengthened my overall professional development and boosted my confidence.
