BHEL Artisan Expected Cut Off 2026 — Category-Wise Estimates

The official BHEL Artisan Cut Off 2026 will be released by BHEL along with the Merit List on careers.bhel.in. The estimates below are based on the CBT difficulty level reported by candidates, the number of vacancies (515), the approximate number of applicants, and trends from previous BHEL recruitment cycles. These are indicative only — wait for the official cut off for definitive confirmation.

CategoryExpected Cut Off (out of 120)Expected % RangeBasis
General / UR / EWS60 – 75 marks50% – 62.5%Most competitive pool; historically highest cut off
OBC – Non Creamy Layer55 – 65 marks45.8% – 54.2%3% lower than UR trend in previous PSU recruitments
SC45 – 58 marks37.5% – 48.3%Reserved category — typically 10–15 marks below UR
ST40 – 52 marks33.3% – 43.3%Lowest reserved cut off — fewer vacancies in many units
EWS58 – 72 marks48.3% – 60%Close to UR cut off as per EWS reservation norms
PwBD35 – 50 marks29.2% – 41.7%Lowest overall — disability-specific horizontal reservation
⚠️ These Are Estimates Only: The figures above are indicative based on exam feedback, vacancy numbers, and comparable PSU patterns. The official cut off announced by BHEL may differ significantly — higher or lower — depending on the actual score distribution of all candidates who appeared. Do not treat these estimates as definitive. Await the official Merit List and Cut Off on careers.bhel.in.

Eligibility Criteria — Quick Reference for Document Verification

Applications are closed. However, shortlisted candidates called for the Skill Test and Document Verification must produce original certificates that exactly match their application declarations. Verify your documents now to avoid disqualification at DV stage.

CriterionRequirement
Basic EducationClass 10 Pass (Matriculation) from a recognised Board — Marksheet and Certificate required
Trade Qualification — NTCNational Trade Certificate (NTC) issued by NCVT in the relevant trade — Fitter, Welder, Turner, Machinist, Electrician, Electronics Mechanic, or Foundryman. Marks required: 60% for UR/EWS/OBC-NCL | 55% for SC/ST
Trade Qualification — NACNational Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) in the same trade from NCVT — mandatory in addition to NTC. Issued after completing the Apprenticeship under the Apprenticeship Act at a registered establishment.
Age Limit — Upper27 years for UR/EWS | 30 years for OBC-NCL | 32 years for SC/ST — as on the notification date. PwBD: +10 years (UR), +13 years (OBC), +15 years (SC/ST). Ex-Servicemen: as per Govt. norms.

Work BondSelected candidates must commit to serve at the allotted BHEL unit for a minimum of 20 years. Transfer within BHEL is at BHEL's discretion — candidates cannot demand transfer to a preferred location.
⚠️ Both NTC and NAC are Mandatory: Holding an ITI certificate alone (even with marks above the threshold) does not make a candidate eligible if the NAC (Apprenticeship completion certificate) is missing. Both documents must be produced in original at Document Verification. Candidates who do not hold a valid NAC from a recognised apprenticeship are disqualified at DV even if they cleared CBT and Skill Test.
