NPCIL Narora Apprentice Recruitment 2026 - 80 Vacancies

The Trade Apprentice category has 50 seats across three ITI trades: Electrician (25), Fitter (16) and Electronics Mechanic (9). Candidates must hold a pass certificate in the specific trade listed against each post, so a Fitter ITI holder cannot apply under the Electrician seats.

The Diploma Apprentice category has 16 seats across Mechanical (5), Electrical (3), Electronics (2) and Civil (6). The Graduate Apprentice category has 14 seats across Mechanical (4), Electrical (3), Human Resource (3), Finance and Accounts (2) and Contract and Material Management (2). Graduate posts accept equivalent qualifications for the non-engineering streams as stated in the notification data, so verify equivalence carefully against the official text before applying.

• Trade Apprentice (ITI): Stipend of ₹10,560 to ₹11,040 per month, as listed for Electrician, Fitter and Electronics Mechanic posts.
• Diploma Apprentice: Stipend of ₹10,900 per month for Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics and Civil posts.
• Graduate Apprentice: Stipend of ₹12,300 per month for Mechanical, Electrical, Human Resource, Finance and Accounts, and Contract and Material Management posts.

These are apprenticeship stipends under the Apprentices Act, not regular salaried pay. Neither NPS, PF, DA nor HRA is deducted from the stipend, and the full amount is paid, subject only to income tax if it applies to your total income. An apprenticeship is a fixed-term training engagement, so the notification data provided does not confirm whether any apprentice will be absorbed into a regular post afterwards. Check the official notification for training duration and any absorption policy. To compare this stipend against private sector or other offers, use the salary calculator.

• Wrong photo or signature file: Uploads outside the size, dimension or format specified in the notification are a common cause of rejection. Check the requirements before you upload and use the image resizer if needed.
• Trade or discipline mismatch: Applying for an Electrician post with a Fitter certificate, or for a Mechanical post with a Civil diploma, will not qualify. Match the trade or discipline on your certificate exactly to the post you select.
• Incomplete education details: Leaving out the year of passing, institute name or marks in the education section can lead to rejection at scrutiny.
• Age miscalculation: Forgetting to apply the category relaxation, or applying it without a valid claim, causes problems. Calculate your age on the last date, not the date you apply.
• Wrong category claim: Claiming SC/ST, OBC or PwD status without the correct certificate in the prescribed format will be rejected at verification.
• Missing documents at verification: Candidates who cannot produce original certificates, caste or PwD certificates, or domicile proof when claiming local preference, may lose their place.

Selected candidates will normally be called for document verification, where original certificates, category proof and domicile proof (if claimed) will be checked against your application. The notification will specify whether a medical examination is part of the process and the reporting date. Apprentices then join for training at Narora Atomic Power Station, and training duration and any stipend revisions should be confirmed in the notification.

Because the job details do not specify a timeline from selection to joining, plan around the official schedule once it is published. Keep your documents ready from the day applications open on 29 October 2026, since verification windows are usually tight.

Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) is a public sector undertaking under the Department of Atomic Energy, responsible for operating and maintaining India's nuclear power reactors. It runs the nuclear power stations that generate electricity for the national grid, including Narora Atomic Power Station in Uttar Pradesh.

NPCIL's role centres on safe, reliable operation of nuclear power plants, which means its recruitment places heavy emphasis on technical trades, engineering and the support functions that keep plants running. Apprenticeship programmes like this one give the corporation a pipeline of trained technicians and engineers for its stations.

Trade Apprentices in Electrician, Fitter and Electronics Mechanic trades work on maintenance, installation and repair tasks under supervision, supporting the plant's electrical, mechanical and electronic systems. Diploma and Graduate Apprentices in engineering streams train on plant operations, maintenance, design support or civil works depending on their discipline. Graduate Apprentices in Human Resource, Finance and Accounts, and Contract and Material Management learn the administrative and procurement functions that support a power station.

The work involves plant-based training, and many tasks are field-oriented, so expect a mix of workshop, site and office time. Specific tools, uniform requirements and reporting lines are not described in the job details provided, so confirm them during training.
