BHEL Trichy Apprenticeship 2026-27: 530 Posts, Eligibility and Dates

BHEL Tiruchirappalli is accepting online applications for its 2026-27 Graduate, Technician and Trade Apprentice engagement. The three current notices together describe 530 tentative places: 90 Graduate Apprentice, 60 Technician Apprentice and 380 Trade Apprentice. The BHEL Trichy portal shows that online submission closes on 12 September 2026 at 23:45, with shortlisting scheduled for 16 September. The useful way to read this intake is by category, because the qualification, registration system, stipend and certificate route are not identical.

The official circulars are dated 14 August 2026 and the current portal links the Graduate, Technician and Trade PDFs separately. Graduate and Technician applicants use the MHRD NATS 2.0 route, while Trade applicants use the Apprenticeship India NAPS route before completing the BHEL form. BHEL says the vacancies are tentative and that the qualifying examination, institution, age, apprenticeship history and documents must be checked against the relevant notice. This guide is a current reading of those official materials, not a substitute for the category PDF.

The totals above are the category totals stated in the three circulars. They should not be read as a promise that every place will be filled. BHEL also describes subsidized food and hostel availability for selected apprentices, subject to the arrangements in the notice. Apprenticeship is for one year, and the circulars state that training does not create an obligation on BHEL to offer employment afterward.

The Trade notice requires High School pass plus regular full-time ITI from an NCVT or SCVT recognised institute. It specifies an NCVT or SCVT certificate for the listed trades except Welder, for which the notice states the NCVT requirement. Applicants should therefore use the trade table and the exact certificate wording rather than treating any ITI certificate as interchangeable.

The Graduate circular covers engineering and technology degrees for the five named engineering disciplines, B.Com for Accountant and B.A. for Assistant-HR. The Technician circular is for fresh full-time diploma holders in the named engineering disciplines. The Trade circular uses the High School plus ITI route. Do not select a category only because the broad word apprentice appears in all three notices.

Registration on the national apprenticeship system is a preparation step, not a replacement for the BHEL Trichy application. The Graduate and Technician notices ask applicants to use the NATS 2.0 student enrollment number in the BHEL form. The Trade notice describes the Apprenticeship India sequence: register as a candidate, note the ten-digit number, activate the account, complete profile and e-KYC details, make the SSLC, Aadhaar, name, date of birth and gender details agree, enter bank and IFSC information, and then use the BHEL portal.

The BHEL instructions also require applicants to keep the email and mobile details active. Upload only legible files and review the final preview. If a certificate or profile needs correction, resolve that before submitting because the current form terms state that changes are not permitted after submission.

The notices make the qualifying marks important because the merit process is based on them, but a marks-based shortlist does not remove the other checks. Category reservation, physical standards, apprenticeship history, work experience, institution conditions and document verification still matter. The stipend figures are consolidated amounts in the circulars, and the availability of subsidized food or hostel should be read as a facility described by the notice rather than as a guarantee of a particular accommodation arrangement.

Use the BHEL Trichy Apprentice Management System for the live notice list and closing time, and the BHEL application form for the current online route. Read the Graduate Apprentice circular, Technician Apprentice circular, Trade Apprentice circular and BHEL registration instructions. The external registration systems are NATS 2.0 for Graduate and Technician routes and Apprenticeship India for the Trade route.
