Short Information: The Bhakra Beas Management Board has opened applications for 71 Apprentice posts under the Bhakra Power House Circle, Nangal, spread across Graduate, Diploma, and ITI trades for the year 2026-27. This engagement runs under the Apprentices Act, 1961, giving candidates hands-on training experience in a large hydro-power organisation rather than a regular salaried post, and it comes with a clear advantage for local candidates — 25% of seats in every trade are first offered to residents of the districts where the Bhakra and Nangal Dam projects are located, namely Ropar, Bilaspur, and Una. Trades on offer range from four-year Engineering degree apprenticeships in Mechanical and Electrical/Electronics, to three-year graduate apprenticeships (BA, B.Com, B.Sc), Diploma apprenticeships in Mechanical and Electrical/Electronics, and twelve different ITI trades including Fitter, Electrician, Lineman, and Computer Operator and Programming Assistant. There is no written exam and no interview — selection runs purely on a merit list built from your matriculation, 12th/Diploma, and ITI/Degree percentage marks, using a fixed weightage formula. ITI candidates apply through the NAPS portal (apprenticeshipindia.gov.in) and Graduate/Diploma candidates through the NATS portal (nats.education.gov.in) between 14 July 2026 and 10 August 2026.

💡 Expert Tip

Since there is no interview or written test, your entire selection rides on the percentage marks you enter on the NAPS/NATS portal matching your original mark sheets exactly — any mismatch discovered at document verification gets your application rejected outright with no second chance, and absentees at document verification are rejected without any further consideration. Apply through the correct portal for your qualification: ITI candidates must use apprenticeshipindia.gov.in (NAPS), while Graduate and Diploma candidates must use nats.education.gov.in (NATS) — applying through the wrong portal means your application simply won't be picked up for this notification. If you have already undergone apprenticeship training anywhere else under the Apprentices Act, 1961, you are not eligible to apply again for this engagement, so don't waste the effort filling the form.
