Short Information: NLC India Limited, a Navratna Government of India Enterprise under the Ministry of Coal, has opened applications for One Year Apprenticeship Training at its Barsingsar Project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, covering 163 slots across ITI/Trade, Diploma/Technician, and Graduate (Engineering & Non-Engineering) categories.

💡 Expert Tip

Register on the NAPS/NATS portal and make sure your profile is 100% accurately updated before you even start the NLC application — the online form pulls directly from your Apprentice Registration/Enrolment Number, and an incomplete or incorrect NAPS/NATS profile can cause problems downstream. When you calculate your own percentage of marks for the form, be precise: if your certificate only shows CGPA or Grades and your university has no official conversion scheme, NLC applies a flat rule of multiplying your Grade/CGPA by 10 to get the percentage — don't invent your own conversion, and attach proof of whichever formula you used. Overstating your marks, even slightly, leads to outright disqualification, so double-check your numbers against your actual marksheet before submitting. One thing to flag carefully in this notice: the collection-box submission date at Barsingsar Thermal Power Station is listed as 30.10.2025, which is earlier than even the 2026 online registration window opens — this looks like a leftover date from an older advertisement template, so don't rely on it. Stick to the clearly stated postal deadline of 10 August 2026, 5:00 PM, and confirm the collection-box option directly with the Barsingsar HR office before using it.
