BEML Apprenticeship 2026 Notification: Stipend, Eligibility and Online Application Guide
BEML Limited, a Government of India company under the Ministry of Defence, will engage apprentices in 1,346 training slots at its Bangalore, Mysore, KGF and Palakkad complexes. If you hold an ITI certificate, a Diploma or a Degree, this is a chance to learn inside a defence PSU. But note one thing clearly — this is a one-year apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, 1961, not a permanent BEML job. It is a paid PSU training opening with a fixed monthly stipend.
Online applications started on 18th August 2026 and the last date is 8th September 2026. The site stays open only till 23:00 hrs that day, so do not wait for the final hour. Apprentices get a monthly stipend of ₹9,600 to ₹12,300, paid into an Aadhaar-seeded bank account. Below we explain the slot break-up, qualification, stipend, selection and the two-step application process. Keep GovtJobsAlert.in open while filling your form.

What is the Salary and Stipend for BEML Apprentice 2026?
Every apprentice gets a fixed monthly stipend during the one-year training, exactly as printed in the notification. It is paid subject to satisfactory performance and attendance.
| Apprentice Category | Monthly Stipend |
|---|---|
| Graduate (Technical) — 4-year full-time Engineering | ₹12,300 |
| Graduates (General) — 3-year full-time graduation | ₹12,300 |
| Diploma — 3-year full-time | ₹10,900 |
| ITI — full-time, 2-year or 1-year based on trade | ₹9,600 or ₹10,560 based on trade |
For ITI trades the notification gives two values — ₹9,600 or ₹10,560 — and never says which trade gets which. Check your own trade with BEML instead of assuming one figure.
The stipend comes by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into an active, Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled bank account, subject to good performance and attendance. Unauthorised absence can end the training. Remember, this is one year of training support, not a permanent employee’s salary.
What is the Selection Process for BEML Apprentice Recruitment 2026?
Good news if you fear exams — there is no written examination and no interview. Selection is purely merit-based on the percentage of marks in the final examination, not on semester-wise marks, so keep your mark sheets and CGPA conversion letter ready.
| Stage | What Happens | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Screening | Applications checked against the eligibility conditions | Done trade-wise and category-wise |
| 2. Merit List | Category-wise merit list per trade per location | Drawn at 1:5 of the notified slots |
| 3. Document Verification | Original certificates checked in merit order | Call comes by registered email; no TA/DA is paid |
| 4. Final Merit List | Made from candidates found suitable at verification | Again in order of marks |
| 5. Offer of Engagement | Issued as per slot availability | Others go to a Reserved Waiting Panel of five times the slot strength |
| 6. Joining Formalities | Tri-partite contract on the NATS or NAPS portal | Medical fitness certificate from a Government Hospital, plus police verification |
How to Apply Online for BEML Apprentice Recruitment 2026?
Many students slip here, so read slowly. This is a two-step process — first the national apprenticeship portal, then the BEML portal. Keep ready your certificates, 10th certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), a Government photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, passport or driving licence), cancelled cheque, photo and signature. You can also browse more diploma-level government jobs.
- Register on the correct national portal — NAPS / Apprenticeship India for ITI trade apprentices, or NATS for degree and diploma engineering apprentices (links in Essential Links below).
- Complete your portal profile fully and upload every document in readable form.
- Note the NAPS / NATS enrolment number generated for you.
- Open the official BEML recruitment portal (see Essential Links), select Apprentices, then Login / Registration.
- Fill the form using that number. Your name and date of birth must match the 10th class certificate, Aadhaar card and bank account.
- Give bank details of an Aadhaar-seeded, DBT-enabled account, as the stipend comes only by DBT.
- Submit only ONE application, for one trade at one location. If you send more than one, or apply for a second trade or location, all your applications are summarily rejected.
- Apply before 23:00 hrs on 8th September 2026 and keep a printout.
One honest caution: the notification says NATS is for “Degree / Diploma in Engineering” candidates, but never says which portal any-stream degree candidates (B.Sc, B.Com, BCA, BBA) must use. If that is you, check the PDF and the BEML portal before registering.
