💡 Expert Tip

Since this is a direct walk-in with merit decided by 70:30 weightage of 10th grade and ITI marks, there's no room to improve your rank on the spot — so double-check your original ITI NCVT certificate and all semester mark sheets are in order well before 24 July. A frequent rejection reason in walk-in apprentice drives is missing NAPS 2.0 portal registration; complete this registration and print your system-generated registration number in advance, since it's a mandatory document at the venue. Also note the strict eligibility window — only candidates who passed both 10th and ITI in 2021 through 2025 qualify, and anyone with a year or more of work experience, or already registered under a NAPS contract elsewhere, will be turned away regardless of merit.
