The qualification must match one listed stream
The advertisement covers graduates who completed the relevant qualification during 2022 through 2026. Its application form asks for marksheets and degree certificates.[2]
Applicants should not treat every bachelor's degree as interchangeable. The vacancy table names the accepted streams, including specific general degrees and engineering qualifications.
Graduate streams
Arts, commerce, science, computer applications, business administration and hotel management appear separately. BMS, BAF, social work and Bachelor of Design are also listed.
Engineering qualifications
Diploma places cover electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering. The graduate engineering row is limited to mechanical engineering in the published table.[2]
The minimum engagement age is 18 years. The notice applies Government of India category relaxations but does not publish one universal maximum age in its English table.
Graduate apprentices receive ₹18,000 monthly
The official monthly stipend is ₹18,000 for graduate apprentices. Diploma apprentices receive ₹16,200 each month under the published terms.[2]
| Apprentice group | Monthly stipend |
|---|---|
| Graduate apprentice | ₹18,000 |
| Diploma apprentice | ₹16,200 |
The notice describes apprenticeship engagement rather than a regular vacancy. Applicants should assess the training value without assuming later absorption.
MTPF may use a test, interview or practical stage
A screening committee first checks submitted applications. MTPF may adopt higher shortlisting standards when many eligible applications arrive.[2]
The tentative selection route can include a written test, an interview and a practical assessment. The final method can change with application volume and administrative needs.
Final selection follows merit, with the older candidate receiving preference when marks are tied. AVNL states that final results will appear only on its website.
Selected candidates remain subject to document, character, antecedent and medical checks. No travel allowance is payable for attending a test or interview.

Questions applicants should settle before posting
How many AVNL MTPF apprentice places are available?
The official table contains 48 places. General graduate streams account for 40, engineering diplomas account for six, and mechanical engineering graduates receive two.
What is the MTPF application deadline?
The completed offline form must reach MTPF on or before 4 September 2026. Candidates should post early because dispatch by that date does not guarantee timely receipt.
Can candidates apply online?
No online form is specified for this advertisement. Applicants must print Annexure A and send the complete application with required records to the Ambarnath postal address.
Which graduation years are covered?
The notice describes eligible general graduate candidates as completing their qualification from 2022 through 2026. Every applicant must still match one listed stream and provide certificates.
How much is the stipend?
Graduate apprentices receive ₹18,000 monthly, while diploma apprentices receive ₹16,200. These figures come from the current AVNL MTPF advertisement rather than a permanent pay scale.
Does apprenticeship guarantee a permanent job?
No permanent job is guaranteed. AVNL states that the temporary engagement creates no right to absorption, regularisation, compensation or permanent employment after the apprenticeship.
Post the form before the delivery window narrows
Start with the exact vacancy row, then assemble the attached evidence. A complete application matters because MTPF can reject missing, unclear or incorrectly formatted submissions.
Send the envelope early, preserve the postal receipt and monitor AVNL Careers. The form must reach Ambarnath by 4 September 2026.
