Quick answer: MeitY Young Professional (AI Policy): Support AI policy formulation on Digital India Act & Responsible AI. ₹65K/month, 1-year contract. Masters required. Direct application via written essay + interview. Age limit 30. No exam.
MeitY, India's premier technology policy ministry, is building India's AI governance infrastructure — and they're looking for young professionals in New Delhi to help shape the Digital India Act, AI Mission, and Responsible AI guidelines. This is a direct-apply contract role for freshers and early-career professionals ready to bridge AI technology and public policy at the national level.
This role is designed for freshers and recent graduates (age limit: 30) with a Master's degree in public policy, law, technology policy, or a closely related discipline. You'll need working knowledge of AI fundamentals — not deep machine learning expertise, but enough to read research papers and discuss the engineering tradeoffs that matter for policy. If you've studied policy, economics, law, or technology but haven't coded professionally, this is your entry point into AI careers in India's government sector.
MeitY is offering ₹65,000 per month for this 1-year contract role — a competitive fresher-level salary for an AI policy position in Delhi's government sector. For context, this aligns with junior AI engineer salaries in India for freshers, positioning government AI policy work as an equally valued career path alongside private-sector AI engineering.
This is a direct-apply, no-exam role — submit your application and a short essay directly to MeitY (email details at meity.gov.in/recruitment). The application process includes a written essay and interview to assess your policy thinking and AI fundamentals grasp. The deadline is June 10, 2026, so apply soon if AI governance excites you.
