What is Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a structured training programme that combines practical, on-the-job training with related theoretical or classroom instruction. Apprentices receive training in a particular trade, occupation or field and are generally paid a stipend during the apprenticeship period according to the applicable rules and the terms of the engagement.
Apprenticeship programmes can provide candidates with practical experience and an opportunity to develop workplace skills. The duration, training structure, stipend and other conditions vary according to the organization, trade and applicable apprenticeship rules.
An apprenticeship engagement should not automatically be considered a permanent Government Job. Completion of apprenticeship does not by itself guarantee regular employment. Any subsequent recruitment is subject to the applicable recruitment rules and notification.
Apprentice Recruitment Eligibility
The eligibility criteria for apprenticeship recruitment depend on the trade and organization.
For many trade apprentice vacancies, candidates may be required to have:
- Passed 10th/Matriculation or the qualification prescribed for the trade
- Completed the relevant ITI/Trade Certificate from a recognized institution, where required
- Fulfilled the prescribed age requirements
- Satisfied any other conditions mentioned in the recruitment notification
Some organizations also recruit Graduate Apprentices, Technician Apprentices and other categories of apprentices, for which the required educational qualification can be different.
Candidates should always check the official notification because not every apprenticeship recruitment uses the same qualification or selection criteria.
How are Apprentices Selected?
The selection process varies from one organization to another.
For some trade apprentice recruitments, candidates may be selected on the basis of their marks in the prescribed educational qualifications, followed by document verification and, where applicable, a medical examination. Other organizations may use a different selection procedure.
Therefore, candidates should not assume that all apprentice recruitments are based only on 10th marks or that ITI marks are always excluded. The applicable selection criteria should be checked in the respective official notification.

Apprenticeship training should not be confused with regular railway recruitment. Any subsequent appointment to a regular post is governed by the applicable Railway recruitment rules and the relevant notification.

Apprentices are generally paid a stipend during the training period. The amount can vary according to the category of apprenticeship, trade, organization and applicable rules.

- Gain practical workplace experience
