Qualification A degree in a general stream from a recognised State or Central university: Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Computer Application, Bachelor of Business Administration or Bachelor of Arts. Engineering, pharmacy and other professional degrees are not listed and are not covered by this advertisement. Who is not eligible These three conditions disqualify more applicants than the degree requirement does, so check them first: Candidates who have had training or job experience of one year or more after obtaining the qualifying degree. Candidates who obtained the degree more than two years ago. Candidates who have already undergone apprenticeship training anywhere under the Apprentices Act, 1961 (the affidavit condition below confirms this). If more than one year has passed between the declaration of your degree result and the start of training, you must submit an affidavit in the prescribed format confirming that, after passing, you had no training or job experience of one year or more and did not undergo apprenticeship training under the Act anywhere. Age Minimum 18 years as on the date of application. The advertisement sets no upper age limit; the two-year-since-degree rule is the effective ceiling. Reservation Seats are reserved under Sections 3A and 3B of the Apprentices Act and Rule 5 of the Apprenticeship Rules, 1992: UR 25, SC 7, ST 10, OBC (non-creamy layer) 8. Two seats are reserved horizontally for persons with disabilities: one OH (locomotor disability including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy) and one MD (autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disability and mental illness).

There is no written test or interview. The factory prepares a merit list on the marks obtained in the degree (the advertisement refers to the final-year examination, read as the aggregate of all years), followed by document verification. Selected candidates then undergo police verification and a medical examination before training begins. Candidates should expect their degree percentage to be the only competitive factor.
