Selected apprentices will receive a monthly stipend as per the applicable Apprenticeship guidelines during the training period.

💡 Expert Tip

This is a two-step application process — first register on the Apprenticeship India portal (apprenticeshipindia.gov.in), and only after that fill the actual online application on the BHEL Career website (hwr.bhel.com/recruitment); missing either step makes your application incomplete. Your Aadhaar details on the Apprenticeship portal must match exactly with your name and date of birth elsewhere, and the portal must show 'Your Aadhaar is verified Successfully' — unverified Aadhaar profiles get straight rejection. Also remember, hard copies of your acknowledgement slip and documents must physically reach BHEL Haridwar by 27 July 2026; candidates whose ITI apprenticeship was terminated by another organisation within the last three months are not eligible to join here under the 2025 Apprenticeship Rules.
