The recruitment aims to fill multiple apprentice slots across various ordnance and manufacturing units operated by the defence public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Defence. The initiative is part of a nationwide skill-development effort aligned with central government employment and vocational training programs.
According to the official notification, candidates who have completed ITI, engineering diplomas, or relevant academic qualifications are eligible to apply, depending on the specific trade. Applicants must meet age criteria, educational requirements, and document verification standards outlined in the detailed advertisement. Selection will be based primarily on merit, calculated from qualifying examination marks, followed by document scrutiny.
Officials said the apprenticeship program is designed to provide hands-on industrial training in real manufacturing environments. Selected candidates will be placed at different production facilities where they will gain practical experience in machining, assembly, inspection, logistics, and administrative operations. Stipends will be paid as per government apprenticeship norms.
The organization stated that the application process is entirely online to ensure transparency and accessibility for candidates nationwide. Applicants must register on the official portal, fill in personal and academic details, upload certificates, and submit the form before the closing date. Any discrepancy in documents or incomplete forms may lead to rejection.
Industry observers note that apprenticeships in defence manufacturing units are considered valuable entry points for young professionals seeking careers in engineering and technical services. Training in such establishments exposes candidates to precision manufacturing standards, quality assurance systems, and safety protocols used in strategic industries.
Recruitment authorities advised candidates to regularly check official updates regarding merit lists, document verification schedules, and joining instructions. They also cautioned applicants against relying on unofficial sources for information or paying fees to intermediaries.
The apprenticeship intake is expected to strengthen the skilled workforce pipeline in defence production while offering early-career opportunities to youth. Further announcements regarding shortlisted candidates and training commencement dates are likely in the coming weeks.
