Typical Qualification

ITI / Diploma / Graduate (varies by scheme)

Indicative Pay Scale

Fixed monthly stipend, not a regular pay scale

Apprentice is a fixed-term training post under the Apprentices Act, offered by Railways, defence PSUs (BHEL, HAL) and other central PSUs to ITI, diploma or degree holders, Trade, Technician and Graduate Apprentice categories differ by qualification, providing hands-on training rather than a permanent government role. Eligibility depends entirely on the specific apprenticeship category: a trade certificate for Trade Apprentice, a diploma for Technician Apprentice, a degree for Graduate Apprentice.

Selection is usually a straightforward merit list based on qualifying marks, sometimes followed by document verification and a medical check, without the multi-tier competitive exam typical of regular posts. Apprentices receive a fixed monthly stipend rather than a pay-scale salary, and completion does not automatically guarantee a regular post: though many PSUs give completed apprentices a preference or an easier entry route into regular recruitment.
