Short Information: Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI), a Mini Ratna-I defence PSU under the Ministry of Defence, is hiring 43 Apprentice Trainees — 23 Graduate Apprentices (GATs) and 20 Technician (Diploma) Apprentices (TATs) — for a one-year training program at its Hyderabad plant. This is a structured, government-regulated apprenticeship under the Apprentices (Amendment) Act 1992.

If you are a fresh B.Tech/B.E or Diploma graduate who passed out in 2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026, this is one of the few defence-sector training opportunities where you work inside a high-tech metallurgical facility that makes super alloys, titanium alloys, and special steels for ISRO, DRDO, and the Indian Armed Forces.

The monthly stipend is ₹12,300 for Graduate Apprentices and ₹10,900 for Technician (Diploma) Apprentices — fixed as per government norms, paid on time, and comes with structured on-the-job exposure that most private sector internships simply cannot offer.

Disciplines open are: Metallurgy, Mechanical, Electrical/EEE, Civil, and Electronics & Communication/IT. Selection is purely merit-based — your SSC marks carry 30% weightage and your Graduation/Diploma marks carry 70%, so no written test or interview pressure.

Application process is two-step: first register on nats.education.gov.in, then send a hard copy by registered post/courier to reach MIDHANI on or before 03 June 2026, 05:00 PM.

Recruitment Note: About Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI)

Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited, popularly known as MIDHANI, is a Mini Ratna Category-I Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, headquartered at Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad. Established in 1973 and incorporated in 1977, MIDHANI was set up as a strategic materials company to reduce India's dependence on imported special metals for defence and space applications. It holds prestigious certifications including ISO 9001:2015, AS 9100D:2016 (the aerospace quality standard), ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, reflecting its commitment to quality, environment, and workplace safety.

An apprenticeship at MIDHANI means working inside one of India's most strategically important defence manufacturing plants.

Recruitment Note: Important Conditions for Apprenticeship

The apprenticeship at MIDHANI is governed by the Apprentices (Amendment) Act 1992 and is strictly for a duration of one year. Upon successful completion of the one-year apprenticeship, MIDHANI is under no obligation to offer employment to the apprentice, nor can any apprentice claim a right to employment on the grounds of having completed the training. This is a training engagement, not a job offer. No boarding or lodging facilities are provided by MIDHANI. No TA/DA is paid for joining, document verification, or any other stage. MIDHANI reserves the right to restrict or increase the number of positions and to alter eligibility criteria without prior notice. The management also reserves the right to devise its own selection criteria beyond what is stated in the advertisement. Disputes, if any, are subject to the jurisdiction of courts in Hyderabad.

Recruitment Note: Benefits & Perks During Apprenticeship

As a government-regulated apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, MIDHANI provides a fixed monthly stipend — ₹12,300 for Graduate Apprentices (B.Tech/B.E) and ₹10,900 for Technician Apprentices (Diploma holders). The stipend is structured as per central government apprenticeship norms and is paid regularly throughout the one-year training period. Beyond the stipend, apprentices gain direct exposure to India's premier defence metallurgy facility, working alongside senior engineers and scientists on live production systems used in ISRO rockets, naval vessels, and defence equipment. This experience significantly strengthens a resume for PSU recruitment exams (GATE-based), defence production sector jobs, and private aerospace/automotive industry roles. There are no other allowances (HRA, DA, LTC, PF) during the apprenticeship period as this is a training engagement, not regular employment.

💡 Expert Tip

Two things trip up most applicants here. First — NATS enrollment takes at least one working day for BOAT verification before you can apply to MIDHANI. If you wait until 02 June, your portal application may not get verified in time. Register on nats.education.gov.in at least 3-4 days before the deadline. Second — the hard copy application must physically reach MIDHANI, Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad by 03 June 2026, 05:00 PM via registered post/courier. Email or courier tracking alone won't help if it arrives late — the cutoff is strict. Also note: candidates who have already completed or are currently undergoing any apprenticeship are NOT eligible, regardless of discipline.
