NHPC Industrial Trainee 2026 – 23 Vacancies, CA/CMA & CS

For the CA/CMA track, the eligibility test is simple: you need a passed Intermediate certificate from ICAI or ICMAI and enough remaining training time to cover the 13-month requirement. Candidates who are still working toward Intermediate are not eligible under the wording of this notification, which requires the pass to be in hand.

For the CS track, both Group 1 and Group 2 of CS Executive must be passed. A candidate who has cleared only one group does not meet the notification's wording. Both tracks share the same 13-month remaining-training condition, and the stipend and interview process are the same for both. Domicile rules are not specified in notification, and the age relaxation for reserved categories is also not specified in notification, so do not assume any standard relaxation applies to you without checking the official document.

• Industrial Trainee (CA/CMA): ₹20,000 stipend per post as listed in the job details (20 posts).
• Industrial Trainee (CS): ₹20,000 stipend per post as listed in the job details (3 posts).
• Nature of payment: This is a trainee stipend, not a regular pay-scale salary, so no pay level is assigned in the job details.

This is a trainee stipend, not regular salaried employment. Under the Apprentices Act framework, NPS, PF, DA and HRA do not apply to this stipend, so the ₹20,000 figure is the amount you receive before any income tax that may apply to your situation. The notification does not specify any other deductions. Whether the training leads to regular employment with NHPC is not specified in notification, so check the official document before assuming a permanent post follows. To estimate what your take-home looks like against other options, use this salary calculator, and for a stipend-based role, enter the stipend amount directly and treat any tax result as the only deduction.

Selected candidates will be called for document verification and then issued an offer or joining instruction. The job details do not specify a medical examination, the training duration, or the joining date, so confirm these in the official notification. The posting location is not specified beyond the Haryana state reference and NHPC's Faridabad headquarters, so the exact station is See official notification.

Given that the last date is 20 November 2026, a realistic timeline from application to joining depends on the interview schedule, which is not stated in the job details. Plan for the process to take several weeks after the closing date and keep your documents ready for verification at short notice.

NHPC Limited is a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Power, incorporated in 1975 and headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana. It is a Miniratna Category-I public-sector undertaking and is one of India's largest hydropower companies, developing and operating hydroelectric projects across several Indian states.

Its credibility as an employer rests on its long record as a central public-sector undertaking and its role in hydroelectric generation. For a trainee, that means work on established engineering, finance and secretarial processes in a large regulated organisation, with the institutional structure that comes with a PSU.

The two posts in this recruitment correspond to the CA/CMA and CS disciplines.

Confirm these in the official notification or during the selection process.

Whether the role is field-based or desk-based, and whether it involves public interaction or a uniform, is not specified in notification.
