Eligibility for DTU Apprentice Recruitment 2026 is qualification-based rather than age-based, since the notification prescribes a specific diploma or degree for each trade instead of a common minimum qualification. Candidates need to check the required educational qualification against their applied trade before submitting the form. Qualification-wise Eligibility Diploma Apprentices need a relevant Diploma such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil/Environmental, ECE, or IT/CS Engineering, while Graduate Apprentices need a relevant Bachelor's degree such as B.Tech, BCA, B.Sc., or Bachelor in Library Science depending on the trade applied for. Candidates applying for posts like Applied Mathematics or Applied Physics need a Graduate/Diploma with computer knowledge or an MSc/B.Sc. (PCM) respectively, as listed in the trade-wise vacancy table above.
