BHAVINI Trade Apprentice Recruitment 2022: 50 Posts, Eligibility and How to Apply

Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited (BHAVINI) advertised 50 Trade Apprentice vacancies under advertisement no. BHAVINI/HR/TA-1/2022. Applications were taken offline, by post, from 1 March to 30 March 2022. As of 8 October 2026 that window is completed. Nothing in the supplied evidence shows a newer BHAVINI apprentice cycle, so do not treat this as an open vacancy.

Quick facts

About the employer

BHAVINI is a government company under the Department of Atomic Energy. It was set up to build and run Fast Breeder Reactors. Its current project is the 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, built on a design developed at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research.

Apprenticeship vs permanent job

A Trade Apprentice is placed for training and receives a stipend. This is different from a permanent government job, which carries a pay scale and a regular appointment. The evidence mentions only the stipend. It does not describe the training duration or any promise of later employment at BHAVINI, so do not assume either.

Treat the postal route as the reported method and check the notice itself. The form and notice link given in the summary is bhavini.nic.in/writereaddata/Careers/66.pdf.

Evidence limits
