How Are Candidates Selected?

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Apprenticeship for You?

This is a 12-month training engagement at India’s main rocket launch centre, not a regular job. Trade Apprentice seats form 180 of the 400 positions; a candidate in Fitter alone competes for 75 seats under the Trade category’s reservation. Graduate and diploma candidates who passed before 2022 are ineligible even if they hold first class, so the 2022 passing-year rule cuts the pool sharply.

Best fit: Fresh ITI, diploma or graduate candidates with first-class marks who have never undergone apprenticeship training and have less than one year of experience.

Skip if you already completed an apprenticeship under the Act or need a permanent post, because the notice states trainees have no claim whatsoever for any adhoc/temporary/permanent employment after training.
