ECIL Hyderabad ITI Trade Apprentice Recruitment 2026: 310 Apprenticeship Seats, Apply Online

ECIL (Electronics Corporation of India Limited) is recruiting 310 ITI Trade Apprentices for training at its Hyderabad unit. Advertisement No. 11/2026 is dated 30 September 2026. Applications are online, and the window closes on 11 October 2026 at 11:59 PM. This is a one-year apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, 1961. It is not a permanent post, and the notice says completing it gives no claim to employment at ECIL.

Source note: the details below come from a secondary summary of the official ECIL advertisement. A second listing (Eenadu Pratibha) confirms the 310 seats and the 11 October 2026 last date. We have not independently checked the PDF itself, so confirm every detail in the official ECIL advertisement PDF before applying.

Apprenticeship vs Permanent Job

Read this before you invest time in the form. The engagement is one year of trade training that starts, tentatively, on 2 November 2026. Selected candidates sign a Contract of Apprenticeship. The notice says ECIL has no obligation to employ apprentices afterwards, and apprentices have no right to claim employment there. After training, a practical test decides whether the National Apprenticeship Certificate is issued. Candidates who do not complete training may have to refund the training cost and the stipend received, as determined by the Central Apprenticeship Adviser.

Event Status as of 4 October 2026

The advertisement labels its dates list as tentative. The source we reviewed was last checked on 1 October 2026, and we have no information on any later corrigendum or extension. Corrigenda, if any, are said to appear only under Human Resources on ecil.co.in.

Vacancies by Trade

Fitter, Electronics Mechanic and Electrician together account for 223 of the 310 seats. Six trades have only two seats each, so competition on ITI marks can be sharp there.

Category-wise split

The overall split is UR 125, EWS 31, OBC 84, SC 47 and ST 23. The 16 PwD seats are horizontal reservation within these categories, not extra seats, and they require disability of 40% or more. ECIL may increase or decrease the number of seats.

Eligibility

Residence and qualification

You must live in a district of Telangana and hold an NCVT ITI pass certificate in the trade you select. The notice requires the qualification to come from an institute recognised by the appropriate statutory authority. It does not say whether result-awaited candidates may apply, so do not assume they can. We found no statement that one form can cover more than one trade.

Age limit (as on 31 October 2026)

• Minimum age: 18 years for all categories.
• General/UR: up to 25 years. No separate EWS limit is printed, so the General figure applies.
• OBC: up to 28 years (Non-Creamy Layer certificate needed).
• SC/ST: up to 30 years.
• PwD: 10 years extra over the category limit.

Who cannot apply

Anyone who has already completed, or is currently doing, an apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, 1961 in any government, PSU or private organisation is barred. So are candidates who live outside Telangana and those without the NCVT trade certificate.

How to Apply Online

Both steps are compulsory. Registration on the national portal alone does not count, because the advertisement accepts applications submitted on the ECIL website.

1. Check the advertisement against your trade, Telangana residence and age on 31 October 2026.
2. Register as a candidate on apprenticeshipindia.gov.in. No ECIL establishment code is printed in the notice.
3. Open ecil.co.in, go to Human Resources, then Current Job Openings, and submit the ECIL online form before 11 October 2026, 11:59 PM.
4. Print the registered form with its system-generated application number. A reprint is allowed before the last date.
5. Keep the portal registration proof and the ECIL application number separately, as they are different numbers.

ECIL will use the email address you give in the form for later communication, so enter it carefully. As a practical suggestion (not a notice rule), submit a day early and save a copy of the acknowledgement.

Selection Process

Selection rests on ITI marks. Of the seats, 70% are for Government ITI students and 30% for Private ITI students. The notice does not give this split trade-wise. Shortlisted candidates are called by email for document verification, which the notice says may come at short notice. The venue is the Corporate Learning & Development Centre (CLDC), Nalanda Complex, TIFR Road, ECIL, Hyderabad – 500 062. No travel allowance is paid. The advertisement lists a contact number for this venue: 04027186454 / 2279.

Documents to carry

• Signed printout of the ECIL application with a recent colour passport-size photo
• Registration proof from the apprenticeship portal
• Date of birth proof and a government photo ID
• NCVT ITI pass certificate in the trade
• Category certificate (SC, ST, OBC Non-Creamy Layer or EWS) in the proforma hosted on ecil.co.in, if applicable
• PwD certificate showing 40% or more disability, if applicable

A police verification certificate and a physical fitness certificate are needed at joining, not at the application stage.

Stipend and Fee: What the Notice Does Not Say

The advertisement prints no monthly stipend and no application fee, and it names no payment portal. Do not rely on figures from other sites. The notice also warns that selection is on merit only, so do not pay anyone who promises a seat.

Is This Useful for Competitive-Exam Aspirants?

It suits Telangana ITI holders who want structured shop-floor training at a Department of Atomic Energy enterprise and can attend verification in Hyderabad. There is no exam to prepare for: the notice relies on ITI marks. If you need a regular appointment, this advertisement does not offer one.
