Before you post: what actually matters for this role
Scope and authorisation must be explicit in the JD and the offer letter — this is the one internship where an ambiguous brief creates legal exposure. Screen for disclosure ethics as hard as for technical skill; CTF ranking is a good signal, but the judgement question above matters more.
In Pune specifically, budget ₹14,000–₹46,000 per month for a cybersecurity intern — this is one of India’s most competitive markets for this role, so a slow process loses candidates rather than saves money.

Three questions that separate cybersecurity intern candidates
These are written so an HR generalist can ask them without domain expertise. You do not need to evaluate the technical answer — listen for whether the candidate reasons from something they actually did, or from something they read.
- 1
You find a serious vulnerability in a system you were not asked to test. What do you do?
- 2
Explain how you would test a login form, step by step.
- 3
A scanner reports 200 criticals. How do you decide what gets fixed this week?
