What is the Stipend and Salary for BHEL Trichy Apprentice 2026?
The stipend is a consolidated monthly amount paid for the full one-year training, exactly as printed in the three circulars.
| Stream | Stipend per Month |
|---|---|
| Graduate Apprentice | ₹12,300 |

BHEL also gives subsidised food and hostel facility at Tiruchirappalli — a real help if you are from another district. Be clear on two things though: no TA/DA is paid for verification or joining, and finishing the training gives no right to a job at BHEL.
What is the Selection Process for BHEL Trichy Apprentice 2026? Merit List, No Exam
There is no written exam and no interview, so your marks decide everything.
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Eligibility screening | Qualification, passing year, marks percentage, institution state and age are checked. Incomplete or offline applications are rejected |
| Merit list | Drawn purely on the marks secured in your qualifying examination |
| Tie-breaker | The older candidate is preferred |
| Document verification | Carry a printed copy of the online application plus all originals. Schedule published later on the BHEL portal and by email |
Since there is no exam here, put your time into other exam syllabus and preparation resources instead.
How to Apply Online for BHEL Trichy Apprentice Recruitment 2026?
You can only apply online for BHEL Trichy Apprentice 2026 — no offline form is accepted — and registration happens in two places.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Register on the Government of India portal first — NATS for Graduate and Diploma, NAPS for Trade and ITI (links in Essential Links) |
| 2 | Note your Student Enrolment Number (NATS, 12 or 16 digits) or Registration Number (NAPS). Trade and ITI candidates must also finish Aadhaar verification and e-KYC, with the name and date of birth matching the SSLC certificate |
| 3 | Open the BHEL Trichy apprenticeship portal, click Register, accept the terms and fill the form |
| 4 | Use the OTP sent to your email and mobile to set a password, then log in |
| 5 | Fill the application and upload all scanned documents in the sizes shown |
| 6 | Submit and save a printed copy for document verification |
Three documents decide your claim: the community certificate (an OBC-NCL or EWS certificate must not be more than one year old), the bank passbook front page for an Aadhaar-seeded, DBT-enabled account, and your government portal profile screenshot. Blurred or edited uploads are rejected — and for Trade and ITI candidates, one missing document means summary rejection. Keep your email and mobile active for at least a year, because BHEL communicates only by website, email and SMS.
