Eligibility Criteria — HAL Hyderabad Trade Apprentice 2026
Educational Qualification
You must hold an ITI pass certificate in the respective trade from an NCVT-approved institute only. Candidates who have already undergone or are currently undergoing Apprenticeship Training elsewhere, including under Centre of Excellence (CoE) scheme, are NOT eligible. Candidates who have joined, are pursuing, or about to join any regular higher-education course during the training period are also not eligible.
If you’re 10th pass + ITI certified, this notification is tailor-made for you.
Age Limit
Age is governed by the Apprentices Act, 1961 — typically 18 years and above for ITI Trade Apprentices, with category-wise relaxation as per the Act. No upper age limit is explicitly stated in this notification; the Act’s standard provisions apply.
OBC Non-Creamy Layer
OBC candidates must produce a valid Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate in the prescribed Government of India format at the time of verification.
What is the Stipend and Salary for HAL Trade Apprentice 2026?
Monthly stipend is paid per the Apprentices Act 1961 & Rules under the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS). HAL contributes 75% and the Government contributes 25% as per NAPS guidelines.
Indicative monthly stipend range for ITI Trade Apprentices: Rs 7,700 – Rs 9,000 per month — varies by trade per latest Government of India NAPS notified rates.
While this isn’t a permanent job, the value comes from HAL’s apprenticeship completion certificate — a heavyweight credential when you apply for permanent roles at HAL, BEL, BEML, DRDO, ISRO, Indian Railways, or private aerospace and automotive companies.
