Recruitment Note: About Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company Limited (GESCOM)

Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company Limited (GESCOM) is a wholly-owned Government of Karnataka undertaking responsible for power distribution across several districts in the Kalyana-Karnataka region. Headquartered in Kalaburagi, GESCOM handles the critical infrastructure required for delivering reliable electricity to millions of rural and urban consumers. By offering apprenticeship training, GESCOM provides aspiring engineers with the foundational industrial exposure needed to understand the complexities of state-level power grid management and distribution networking.

Recruitment Note: Job Profile — Apprentice (Graduate & Diploma)

As an Apprentice at GESCOM, candidates will undergo a one-year practical training program designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial application. Graduate and Technician apprentices will be stationed at various sub-stations, corporate offices, or division hubs. They will assist senior engineers in load monitoring, maintenance of transformers, analyzing power distribution losses, managing electrical grids, and performing IT/CS related data operations for billing and networking infrastructure. This hands-on training is strictly for skill enhancement under the Apprentices Act, 1961.

Recruitment Note: Benefits & Perks Beyond Salary

Apprenticeship under a state power utility like GESCOM does not offer standard employee perks such as HRA or PF. However, candidates receive a steady monthly stipend (₹9,000 for Graduates and ₹8,000 for Diploma holders) to cover basic expenses during the training period. The primary benefit is the acquisition of the prestigious National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) upon completion, which adds immense weight to a candidate's resume, making them highly competitive for future permanent roles in massive PSUs like KPTCL, BESCOM, GESCOM, and other central power corporations.
