NITC Apprentice Recruitment 2026 — 30 Vacancies

NITC Apprentice Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Technology Calicut (NIT Calicut) is offering graduate and technician apprenticeship training through its Centre for Continuing Education and Skill Development (CCESD). This campus engagement in Kerala forms part of the institute’s apprenticeship programme under the Ministry of Education. The main point to understand before you apply is that this is training under an apprenticeship contract, with confirmation linked to approval on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) portal.

Posts and Disciplines

• Library and Information Science: a graduate apprenticeship stream for the institute’s library-related training.
• Hotel Management: a separate graduate stream within the same campus apprenticeship programme.
• Nursing: the healthcare-related graduate stream listed in the notification.
• General Administration: a graduate apprenticeship stream distinct from the specialist library, hotel management and nursing options.
• Commercial Practice: a technician apprenticeship stream for diploma applicants.
• Engineering disciplines: technician streams cover Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering. These are separate trade choices under the same notification.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Training term: the apprenticeship lasts one year and follows the Apprentices Act, 1961 and Apprenticeship Rules, 1992, including applicable amendments. You will need to execute an apprenticeship contract under these provisions.
• Confirmation: your training is confirmed only when the contract has been created on the NATS portal and approved by NATS. A hall ticket, invitation, appearance at the institute or message about contract creation does not itself confirm your place.
• Employment after training: completing the apprenticeship does not give you a right to a regular job at NIT Calicut. The notice describes the engagement specifically as training.
• Payment arrangement: the stipend has a government component paid through Direct Benefit Transfer and an institute component paid by NIT Calicut. These components together make up the notified stipend.
• Accuracy of your form: NIT Calicut uses the information you provide when preparing the shortlist. Differences in your name, marks, passing year or other details can lead to disqualification at any stage, with no claim to training.
• Email communication: the institute will use email for recruitment correspondence. Use an address you can access and check your spam or bulk folders, since the institute does not take responsibility for messages missed because of an incorrect address or email filtering.
• NATS conditions: the notice places responsibility on you to check the scheme’s applicable rules before applying. Approval under those rules remains necessary even if you have taken part in the institute’s recruitment process.
