Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Aircraft Division, Nasik has released two recruitment notifications dated 14 August 2026 for engagement of 627 Apprentices under the Apprentices Act, 1961 at its Training and Development Institute, Ojhar Township, Nasik – Advertisement No. HAL/T&D/1614/2026/265 for 355 ITI Trade Apprentices and Advertisement No. HAL/T&D/1614/2026-27/264 for 272 Engineering Graduate, Diploma and Non-Technical Graduate Apprentices. Stipend ranges from Rs. 10,560 per month for 1-year ITI trades to Rs. 12,300 per month for Engineering Graduates and Non-Technical Graduates. Both notifications share the same last date of 4 September 2026 and the same tentative joining window of the 1st and 2nd week of October 2026. There is no application fee and no age limit. Selection is purely merit-based with no written test or interview.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Five things that trip up applicants in this recruitment. First, there are two separate notifications using two different portals and two different application forms – ITI candidates must register on NAPS (apprenticeshipindia.gov.in) and use one Zoho form; Grad/Diploma/Non-Tech candidates must register on NATS 2.0 (nats.education.gov.in) and use a different Zoho form. Using the wrong portal or form disqualifies your application. Second, the application form can be filled only once and cannot be corrected after submission – verify every detail including name spelling, NAPS/NATS ID, trade and marksheet details before clicking submit. Third, Engineering Graduate, Diploma and Non-Technical Graduate candidates must have passed their qualifying degree or diploma in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026 – candidates with status “Appearing” or “Result Awaited” including pending backlogs are not eligible. Fourth, the stipend is credited only to an Aadhaar-seeded SBI savings account – Jan-Dhan accounts and joint accounts are not accepted. Convert to a regular SBI savings account before joining if needed. Fifth, ITI merit is based on 70% SSC (Class 10) marks and 30% ITI marks – not ITI marks alone.
