Latest Apprentice Jobs in August 2026 include 627 one-year training positions at HAL Aircraft Division, Nasik. Applications for both advertisements close on 4 September 2026.[1][2]
The recruitment covers 355 ITI places and 272 places for engineering graduates, diploma holders, pharmacy graduates and specified non-technical graduates. Each group follows a separate official form.
Both HAL Nasik forms close on 4 September
HAL issued two advertisements because the portal and qualification routes differ. Advertisement 264 covers NATS candidates, while Advertisement 265 covers ITI candidates using NAPS.[1][2]
The closing date is the same for both groups. Candidates should complete the relevant portal profile before opening HAL's linked application form.

Recent graduates need a completed result and NATS profile
Advertisement 264 accepts candidates who passed during 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026. Applicants must already hold their passing certificate when they apply.[1]
Appearing candidates and applicants awaiting results are ineligible. A candidate also becomes ineligible after completing apprenticeship training or registering with another establishment.
Engineering and pharmacy places
The graduate table includes aeronautical, aerospace, computer, information technology, civil, electrical, electronics, mechanical, chemical, artificial intelligence and data-science branches.
It also lists four pharmacist places for BPharm candidates. The qualification must come from a recognised university and match the relevant row.[1]
Diploma and non-technical graduate places
The diploma table covers aeronautical, aerospace, civil, computer, information technology, electrical, electronics, mechanical and medical laboratory technician qualifications.
Non-technical places are available for BA, BCom, specified BSc and BBA graduates. The BSc row is limited to Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Statistics.[1]
These candidates need a NATS student or enrolment ID before completing HAL's graduate and diploma form. Mandatory eKYC and APAAR requirements also apply on NATS.
ITI applicants need the matching regular trade from an NCVT or SCVT recognised institute. The advertisement separates two-year and one-year trades for stipend purposes.[2]
| ITI trade | Places | Duration group |
|---|---|---|
| Fitter | 110 | Two-year trade |
| COPA | 70 | One-year trade |
| Electrician | 35 | Two-year trade |
| Turner | 25 | Two-year trade |
| Machinist | 22 | Two-year trade |
| Other listed ITI trades | 93 | See Advertisement 265 |
Other trades include tool and die making, grinding, electronics, mechanical drafting, motor vehicle mechanics, refrigeration, painting, aerospace structural fitting, carpentry, sheet metal and welding.
Most ITI candidates must obtain a NAPS registration number and complete their profile. A narrow exception covers passed candidates awaiting the final result copy for portal registration.[2]
That exception does not remove the qualification. The final ITI result copy must be available during document verification.
Stipend changes with the qualification group
Graduate and non-technical graduate apprentices receive ₹12,300 monthly. Diploma apprentices receive ₹10,900 under the notified NATS arrangement.[1]
Two-year ITI trades receive ₹11,040 monthly, while one-year trades receive ₹10,560. Payment requires the notified Aadhaar-linked bank arrangements.[2]
The notified training period lasts one year. Candidates arrange their own travel and accommodation, although the HAL frequently asked questions mention limited accommodation subject to availability.
No travel allowance is payable for document verification or joining. Successful candidates must also meet the later medical and police-verification requirements.
Academic merit leads to physical document verification
HAL prepares graduate and diploma merit from qualifying marks. ITI merit gives 70 percent weight to Class 10 marks and 30 percent to ITI marks.[1][2]
Shortlisted candidates must report with original records. Photocopies or digital copies do not replace the originals during physical verification.
Graduate and diploma verification is planned for the second and third weeks of September. The ITI advertisement uses the same tentative verification period.
Shortlist publication is planned for the fourth September week. Joining is tentatively placed in the first and second weeks of October.[1][2]
