About Novasensa

Novasensa is a deep-tech clean-energy company engineering the future of industrial sustainability through two core platforms :

NovaFlow :

Dry coal beneficiation – waterless, chemical-free technology to lower ash and emissions.

NovaGenesis :

Critical-mineral recovery – selective hydrometallurgical extraction for strategic materials.

Note :

Novasensa also works in other verticals, but

this internship is strictly for coal preparation and dry beneficiation.

Why Join This Internship

Contribute to India’s energy transition

through clean coal technology.

Hands-on exposure

to coal sampling, washability, and beneficiation testing.

Direct mentorship

from experienced founders and engineers (Harvard, Duke, and deep-tech backgrounds).

Industry interface

with PSUs, research institutions, and global technology partners.

Fast-track career growth

through performance-based PPO opportunities.

What You’ll Work On

1. Coal Characterization & Evaluation

Conduct proximate, ultimate, and

washability analysis .

Assess ash distribution, size fractions, and coal suitability for beneficiation.

2. Pilot Operations & Testing

Assist with test runs on

dry coal separation

equipment (air-based, XRT, or FGX systems).

Record and interpret performance data – throughput, yield, and ash reduction.

3. Technical Documentation & Reporting

Maintain test data, SOPs, and process logs.

Prepare concise performance summaries and technical reports.

4. Regulatory & Engagement Support

Help with quality certification documentation and safety protocols.

Contribute to PSU and government tender preparation materials.

Who Should Apply

Students or recent graduates in

Mining Engineering, Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, Mineral Processing, or Fuel Engineering.

Exposure to

coal preparation, washability analysis, or beneficiation plants

is desirable.

Strong analytical and communication skills.

Keen interest in

coal technology, plant operations, and industrial R&D.

Applications from e-waste, battery recycling, or chemical-engineering backgrounds will not be considered.

Explicit Exclusion : This role is

not

for e-waste, battery recycling, or hydrometallurgy. Applications outside

mining, metallurgy, mineral processing, or coal preparation

will

not

be considered.

Past Intern Experience

“An outstanding experience—hands-on exposure to real beneficiation testing, industry-relevant learning, and close mentorship.”

— Former Intern, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad

How to Apply

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a technical and reasoning interview.

Deadline :

Rolling basis (early applications preferred).
