An apprenticeship is training, not a regular post. Still, a year of training inside a defence PSU is real industry exposure that can strengthen your CV. Keep these points in mind before you apply:
- No TA/DA is paid for certificate verification or joining.
- No boarding or lodging expenses are given.
- BDL has no obligation to offer employment after training, and you cannot claim a job on the basis of completing it.
What is the Selection Process for BDL Bhanur Apprentice 2026?
The notification names only the stages below. It does not describe any written test or interview, so your marks and your documents carry the whole application.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|

| Certificate Verification | Shortlisted candidates are called; dates will be intimated separately |
| Offer | Preliminary Offer Letter is issued at certificate verification itself |
Since selection is purely on your qualification marks, your percentage of marks must be filled in correctly on NATS. If you claim SC, ST, OBC, PwBD or EWS reservation, provide the certificate in the Government standard format, or your claim is treated as General. An OBC certificate must be in the prescribed format from the Tahsildar.
