Benefits of Joining as an Apprentice in Indian Railways
Becoming an apprentice in the Indian Railways provides candidates with hands-on industrial training. During the training period, apprentices receive a stipend as per government rules. This training not only improves technical skills but also increases the chances of getting employment in railways and other sectors in the future. Many candidates who complete apprenticeship training later succeed in securing permanent government jobs.
Selection Process
Unlike competitive exams, the Apprentice recruitment process does not involve a written test. Instead, the selection will be based on a merit list prepared from the marks obtained in Class 10th and ITI examinations. Equal weightage may be given to both qualifications, and no additional test will be conducted.
Shortlisted candidates will be called for document verification. After verification, they will be allotted training slots in different trades. Final selection will depend on fulfilling medical fitness standards and verification of eligibility documents.
