It is a structured learning programme with on the job training, usually run under the government apprenticeship scheme. The posting itself says candidates who are shortlisted must register as an apprentice on the government apprentice portal. That is why the rules about PF history and batch are strict. ## What the Programme Offers Citi describes the apprenticeship as a 12 month opportunity in India, with on the job training supporting one of its business groups. It begins with a short induction covering an overview of Citi, a technology training session and an introduction to the divisions. After that, apprentices get hands on work with deliverables and are expected to add value to their teams. Apprentices can also expand their networks. Opportunities across Citi are listed in areas such as Banking, Markets, Services, Wealth, Operations, Technology, Internal Audit, HR, Risk and Control. This particular posting is for the technology side. ## Key Responsibilities - Contribute to projects using core technologies, applying foundational knowledge in frontend, backend and database systems - Learn and adapt to new technologies and unfamiliar environments quickly - Collaborate with team members to solve complex problems - Work with an engineering team to develop solutions - Solve technical problems and help improve systems - Bring fresh ideas to ongoing projects - Be mentored by experienced engineers ## Eligibility Criteria - **Degree:** M.Tech or MCA in Computer Science, Information Technology, CSIT or circuit disciplines - **Batch:** 2027 pass outs only - **Score:** Minimum 6.0 CGPA or 60 percent aggregate, whichever is higher - **PF history:** You should not have any prior PF history - **Work location:** Pune The PF condition matters. If you have worked anywhere that deducted provident fund in your name, you may not qualify as an apprentice under the scheme. Check this honestly before you apply. ## Skills Required **Required technical skills:** - Frontend: HTML, CSS, React.js with React Responsive and Material UI components - Backend: Python - Database: MongoDB - Version control: Git and GitHub **Optional or desirable:** - Infrastructure: Terraform - Deployment mode: Shell scripts - Deployment target: AWS serverless (such as S3, CloudFront, Lambda, DocumentDB) That stack reads like a full stack web project. If you can build a small app with a React front end, a Python API and MongoDB, you already match the listed skills. ## Selection Process The posting does not list interview rounds. Based on the skills list, you should expect questions on your React, Python and database knowledge. That is an inference, not a stated process. You will also need to complete registration on the government apprentice portal if you are shortlisted. ## Stipend and Benefits The posting does not state a stipend. Do not assume a figure from other websites. Ask during the process what the monthly amount is, whether it is paid under the apprenticeship rules, and what happens at the end of the 12 months. The posting also does not promise a full time offer. ## Is This Job Right for You? **It suits you if:** - You are a 2027 M.Tech or MCA student who wants a bank technology internship that lasts a full year - You have built something with React, Python and MongoDB - You have never held a PF contributing job - You are fine working from Pune in a hybrid setup **Think twice if:** - You want a permanent job right away. This is a 12 month apprenticeship - You are from the 2025 or 2026 batch, or a B.Tech student. The posting asks for 2027 M.Tech or MCA - You have prior PF history ## A Day in the Life (Built From the Listed Duties) In the first weeks you would go through induction and technology training. After that, you might get a small task such as adding a Material UI form to a React screen, writing a Python endpoint to read from MongoDB, and pushing the change through Git with a pull request. A senior engineer reviews your code and explains what to improve. In team meetings you pick up how the project is planned. That mentoring is the whole point of the programme. ## How to Prepare **Rebuild a small full stack project.** For example, a task tracker with React and Material UI on the front, a Python API in the middle and MongoDB underneath. Put it on GitHub with a readme. **Revise the basics behind the tools.** React components, props and state, hooks, REST APIs, Python functions and error handling, and MongoDB collections, queries and indexes. **Learn Git properly.** Branches, commits, pull requests and resolving conflicts. **Skim the optional items.** You do not need to master Terraform or AWS serverless, but knowing what S3, Lambda and CloudFront do will help you in an interview. **7 day prep plan (general guidance):** - Day 1: HTML and CSS refresher - Day 2: React components, props, state - Day 3: Python basics and APIs - Day 4: MongoDB queries and data modelling - Day 5: Git and GitHub workflow - Day 6: AWS basics: S3, Lambda, CloudFront in one line each - Day 7: Project walkthrough and mock interview **Sample questions with answer hints (general practice, not Citi's process):** - *What is the difference between props and state?* Props are passed in from a parent, state is managed inside a component. - *How would you store and query user data in MongoDB?* Use a collection of documents, query with filters and add an index on frequent fields. - *What happens when two people edit the same file in Git?* A merge conflict, which you resolve by choosing or combining changes and committing. - *How would you make a page responsive?* Flexible layouts, media queries and responsive components. ## How to Apply Apply only through the official Citi careers page for requisition 26999031.
