Combined Merit
Merit is calculated separately for each trade and category. Example: If HSC % = 75 and ITI % = 85 → Merit = (75×0.70) + (85×0.30) = 52.50 + 25.50 = 78.00 — No written test, no interview, no walk-in.
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 — Online Application | Apply at http://59.89.119.210/trg from 15 to 30 June 2026 — fill complete details, upload certificates — system closes at 11:59 PM on 30 June |
| Stage 2 — Merit Computation | HAL TTC Lucknow computes merit scores using the 70% HSC + 30% ITI formula — separate trade-wise and category-wise merit lists prepared — no subjective evaluation |
| Stage 3 — Provisional Shortlisting | Shortlisted candidates notified via email and HAL portal — called for Document Verification in merit order — typically up to a specified multiplier of available vacancies |
| Stage 4 — Document Verification | Original certificates verified at HAL Accessories Division, Lucknow — any discrepancy between application data and originals results in elimination — Police Verification Certificate must be produced at joining |
| Stage 5 — NAPS Registration Verification | Candidate must show valid NAPS registration at http://apprenticeshipindia.gov.in — contract of apprenticeship is signed digitally on the NAPS portal — training cannot begin without this |
| Stage 6 — Commencement of Training | Selected candidates report to HAL Lucknow TTC on the date specified in the joining letter — 12-month NAPS apprenticeship training begins |
| Tie-breaking rule: In case two candidates have identical merit scores, the candidate older in age is typically ranked higher — verify specific tie-breaking rule in the official notification PDF. HAL reserves the right to modify the number of vacancies or cancel the selection process at any stage without assigning any reason. | |
📌 Score Optimisation — How to Maximise Your Merit Score
Since merit is computed as 70% of your High School (10th standard) percentage + 30% of your ITI percentage, your Class 10th marks carry more weight than your ITI marks. A candidate with 85% in HSC and 75% in ITI would score: (85×0.70) + (75×0.30) = 59.5 + 22.5 = 82.0. Enter the exact percentages from your original marksheets during the online application — do not round up. Incorrect percentage entry can lead to disqualification at Document Verification, even if your actual merit would have qualified you. For CGPA-based boards, convert to percentage using the prescribed formula before entering.
06
Stipend, Training Conditions & Apprentice Status
As per Apprentices Act 1961 / NAPS stipend rates — trainee status — not HAL employee
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly Stipend | As per the Apprentices Act, 1961 and NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme) stipend norms — typically follows the statutory minimum stipend rates set by the Government of India for the relevant trade type (Engineering/Non-Engineering). Stipend details are specified in the official notification PDF. NAPS also provides a government stipend supplement. |
| NAPS Government Contribution | Under NAPS, the Government of India reimburses 25% of the prescribed stipend amount (subject to a ceiling of ₹1,500/month) directly to the employer (HAL) — this partially offsets HAL's stipend cost but does not impact the apprentice's take-home amount |
| Training Duration | 12 months (One Year) — fixed-term under the Apprentices Act, 1961 — automatic termination on expiry |
| Training Location | HAL Accessories Division, Lucknow — Technical Training Centre (TTC) — and on-job training at various shops/sections within the Accessories Division plant |
| Working Hours | As applicable in the HAL Accessories Division, Lucknow — general shift / production shift as assigned |
| Leave | As per the Apprentices Act, 1961 — casual leave entitlement; no other leave types generally applicable during apprenticeship |
| Transport / Accommodation | Not provided — apprentices must arrange their own accommodation and transport to and from the HAL facility |
| Certification | Upon successful completion of the 12-month training, apprentices receive a Trade Apprentice Certificate — a government-recognised document that significantly enhances employability in manufacturing, defence, and PSU sectors |
| Assessment | May involve periodic assessments and a final assessment before certification — conducted by NCVT or HAL TTC as applicable |
| Status | Apprentice is a TRAINEE — not a regular employee or workman of HAL. Labour laws applicable to regular employees do not apply. No right to claim regular employment upon completion of training. |
| Police Verification | Police Verification Certificate is mandatory — must be submitted at the time of joining. Obtain from your local Police Station before reporting for joining. Candidates without PVC at joining may not be permitted to commence training. |

Frequently Asked Questions
HAL Lucknow ITI Apprentice Recruitment 2026-27 — comprehensive Q&A
What is HAL Lucknow's Accessories Division and why is this apprenticeship valuable?+
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is India's Maharatna Defence PSU — the country's largest aerospace and defence manufacturer. HAL's Accessories Division in Lucknow specialises in designing, manufacturing, repairing, and overhauling precision aircraft accessories — hydraulic actuators, fuel systems, landing gear components, and instrumentation systems for both military and civilian aircraft. Training at this division provides hands-on experience in aerospace-grade manufacturing processes using advanced machinery and quality standards far superior to most industrial training environments. A HAL Trade Apprentice Certificate is one of the most respected credentials in India's technical/manufacturing sector and significantly enhances prospects in future government PSU examinations, defence technical posts, and private aerospace companies.
What ITI trades are available under HAL Lucknow Apprentice Recruitment 2026-27?+
HAL Lucknow's Technical Training Centre has notified 13 ITI trades for FY 2026-27: (1) Fitter, (2) Turner, (3) Machinist, (4) Machinist Grinder, (5) Welder, (6) Electronics Mechanic, (7) Electrician, (8) Instrument Mechanic, (9) Electroplater, (10) Refrigeration & AC Mechanic, (11) Draughtsman Mechanical, (12) Sheet Metal Worker, and (13) COPA/PASAA. Each candidate can apply for only one trade — the trade must exactly match the trade on their ITI certificate. Applying for multiple trades or a different trade is not permitted.
How is the selection done for HAL Lucknow ITI Apprentice 2026-27?+
Selection is purely merit-based — there is no written examination, no walk-in interview, and no group discussion. The merit score is computed as: (High School / 10th standard percentage × 70%) + (ITI percentage × 30%). Separate merit lists are prepared for each trade and each category (UR/SC/ST/OBC/PwD). Candidates shortlisted from these merit lists are called for Document Verification. Selection is finalised after DV and NAPS registration verification. Since Class 10th marks carry 70% weightage, candidates with strong HSC scores have a significant advantage over those with lower 10th marks even if their ITI scores are higher.
What ITI pass years are eligible for HAL Lucknow Apprentice 2026-27?+
Only candidates who completed their ITI in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 are eligible. Candidates who passed their ITI in 2020 or any earlier year are NOT eligible. Additionally, candidates who are currently in the final year of ITI or have compartment/backlog papers pending are also not eligible — the ITI must be fully completed and the certificate issued. This ensures the apprenticeship goes to recent ITI graduates who are still in the early stages of their career, as intended by the Apprentices Act 1961.
What is the application fee and last date for HAL Lucknow ITI Apprentice 2026-27?+
There is no application fee for this recruitment — it is completely free to apply. This is in line with NAPS apprenticeship guidelines under the Apprentices Act, 1961, which do not permit charging fees from apprentice candidates. The online application is open from 15 June 2026 and the last date to submit the application online is 30 June 2026 at 11:59 PM at http://59.89.119.210/trg. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted under any circumstances. Candidates are strongly advised to apply well before the closing date to avoid last-minute technical issues.
Is SCVT (State ITI) accepted at HAL Lucknow, or only NCVT?+
HAL Lucknow's Accessories Division accepts both NCVT (National Council for Vocational Training) and SCVT (State Council for Vocational Training) certified ITI certificates. This is more inclusive than some other HAL divisions (like Bangalore) that require only NCVT. However, the trade name on the certificate must exactly match one of the 13 trades listed in the notification. Candidates should verify that their SCVT ITI institution is recognised by the Apprenticeship Advisor (Regional/State Apprenticeship Adviser) for NAPS registration purposes.
What is the age limit for HAL Lucknow Apprentice 2026-27 and when is it calculated?+
The maximum age limit is 27 years for General/EWS category candidates, calculated as on the last date of application — 30 June 2026. Age relaxation: SC/ST — +5 years (max 32 years); OBC-NCL — +3 years (max 30 years); PwD — +10 years (max 37 years). The notification does not mention a minimum age restriction, though the Apprentices Act, 1961 generally sets the minimum age at 14 years for apprenticeship engagement. Candidates must verify the exact minimum age from the official notification PDF if applicable to their case.
What is the Police Verification Certificate (PVC) and when do I need it?+
The Police Verification Certificate (PVC) is an official document issued by your local Police Station (SHO/Inspector In-Charge) confirming that you have no criminal record and are of good character. This document is mandatory at the time of joining as a HAL apprentice — not at the time of application or Document Verification. You should apply for PVC from your local Police Station immediately after submitting your application, as the process typically takes 7–21 days depending on the state and police station's workload. In some states, PVC can be applied for online through the state police website. Candidates without a valid PVC on the joining date may not be permitted to commence training.
What is the NAPS portal and do I need to register before applying to HAL?+
The NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme) portal at apprenticeshipindia.gov.in is the Government of India's centralised digital platform for all apprenticeship-related activities under the Apprentices Act, 1961. All apprentices engaged by HAL must be registered on NAPS, and the digital apprenticeship contract is executed through this portal. While NAPS registration is technically required at the time of joining (not necessarily at the time of online application at HAL's portal), it is strongly advisable to complete NAPS registration before or simultaneously while applying to avoid any last-minute complications. NAPS registration is free and straightforward — visit apprenticeshipindia.gov.in, click "Apprentice Login/Register," create your profile, and note your Enrolment ID.
Does HAL Lucknow apprenticeship guarantee a job in HAL after completion?+
No — there is no guarantee of employment in HAL after completing the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship is a one-year training programme under the Apprentices Act, 1961, and apprentices are Trainees, not Employees. Upon completion of the 12-month training, apprentices are issued a Trade Apprentice Certificate and relieved from the division. However, the apprenticeship provides: (1) a government-recognised HAL Trade Apprentice Certificate that is highly valued in government examinations; (2) valuable hands-on aerospace manufacturing experience; (3) NAC/NAPS completion certificate that improves eligibility for many PSU/government technical posts; and (4) practical knowledge that gives a significant edge in competitive exams for Technician/Operator posts in HAL itself and other Defence PSUs like DRDO, BEL, ISRO, BEML, and Ordnance Factories.
