EY India has launched student and early-career initiatives, aiming to attract fresh talent through diverse entry points—from short internships to year-long industrial placements and immersive trainee schemes.
According to EY’s official career site, the firm offers work experience, internships, apprenticeships, undergraduate, and graduate programs across its core service lines—assurance, tax, transactions, and consulting.
These programs are tailored to provide real-world exposure alongside coaching, training, and mentorship within a diverse and inclusive setting.
Program Highlights
- Internships: Short-duration placements that let students work on actual client projects and gain an inside view of professional life at EY.
- ‘Leadership at EY’: Structured courses designed to introduce EY’s values, practices, and team culture through group exercises, discussions, and training. The most promising participants are often invited to full-time roles.
- Industrial Placements: Year-long, full-time roles for degree programs that require a work placement year. Participants take on responsibilities typical of new graduates—working on real client assignments in domains like assurance, tax, consulting, and transactions.
- Work Experience Programs: Shorter, hands-on programs that equip students with the basics of client engagement and business operations from day one.
EY highlights that starting with any of these programs offers:
- Professional coaching and learning opportunities
- Real projects from day one
- Peer and manager relationships are vital for career growth
- A platform to explore full-time roles
Scale and Scope in India
India has seen a significant hiring surge from EY in recent years. A late-2024 recruitment drive added over 5,000 jobs nationwide, comprising approximately 500 entry-level roles.
In early 2025, the firm continued expanding; between March and May, EY India advertised over 4,000 job openings, with close to 3,000 targeted at mid- and entry-level talent, and a renewed focus on technology consulting and Global Capability Centres in tier‑II cities.
Specialized drives have also been rolled out: by January, EY had initiated pan-India walk-in recruitment for entry-level candidates. The firm used AI‑driven assessments and digital interviews to screen applicants and emphasized inclusion by encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and those with disabilities.

Candidate Experience and Outcomes
Third-party reports—including those on LinkedIn and recruitment news platforms—affirm that EY India integrates student programs with its broader recruitment funnel. Many internships and industrial placements act as pipelines into full‑time roles.
Reign Gigs notes that these positions require no prior work experience and favor teamwork, communication, and leadership potential.
Conclusion
With this multifaceted approach—from internships and apprenticeships to leadership courses and full-year placements—EY India is strengthening its early-career ecosystem.
Their goal: to cultivate talent aligned with the organisation’s values and ready to deliver client impact from day one.
Coupled with a sizeable hiring drive and a staged entry model, these programs aim to secure India’s future leaders within EY’s inclusive and development-focused environment.
