Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Boiler Auxiliaries Plant, Ranipet, Tamil Nadu, a Maharatna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, has released BHEL Ranipet Trade Apprentice Recruitment 2026 for 305 posts. Is BHEL Ranipet Trade Apprentice Recruitment 2026 out? Yes — the notification was released on 1 August 2026, offering ITI-qualified candidates a government sector apprenticeship opportunity across 10 different trades at one of BHEL's key manufacturing units in Tamil Nadu. Selected Trade Apprentices will train at BHEL Ranipet's Boiler Auxiliaries Plant for a period of 1 year under the Apprentices Act, 1961, gaining hands-on industrial experience in their specific trade — Fitter (135 posts), Welder (90 posts), Turner (20 posts), Electrician (23 posts), Machinist/OAMT (21 posts), and smaller allocations in MMV, Plumber, Refrigerator & AC Mechanic, Carpenter, and Instrument Mechanic. The selection process for BHEL Ranipet Trade Apprentice 2026 is purely a Walk-in Interview and document verification — there is no written test. Selected apprentices receive a stipend of ₹12,000 per month along with subsidized canteen food, a standard central PSU apprenticeship rate. The BHEL Ranipet Trade Apprentice 2026 walk-in interview is scheduled across four consecutive days: 18th to 21st August 2026, from 09:00 Hrs onwards each day, at the HRM Conference Hall, Admin. Building, BHEL, Ranipet – 632406, Tamil Nadu. There is no online application and no application fee — eligible candidates report directly to the venue. Candidates must carry original documents along with photocopies, since document verification is conducted on the spot; the complete official BHEL Ranipet notification PDF is available at bap.bhel.com.

ITI (Industrial Training Institute) qualification in the relevant trade is mandatory for all 10 trades on offer — Fitter, Welder, Turner, MMV (Mechanic Motor Vehicle), Plumber, Electrician, Refrigerator & AC Mechanic, Carpenter, Machinist/OAMT, and Instrument Mechanic. The notification does not specify a minimum percentage of marks beyond possession of the ITI qualification itself. Candidates whose National Trade Certificate results are still awaited may attend with their Marksheets/Hall Tickets, provided their Final Exams were held in June 2026 — this is a useful concession for very recent ITI pass-outs who want to attend this round rather than wait for a future notification.
