BMC Trade Apprentice Stipend 2026

Stipend is payable as per the applicable State Government guideline in force. This is a training stipend, not a regular salary - apprenticeship does not create a right to permanent employment.

BMC Trade Apprentice Selection Process

There is no written examination for this recruitment. Selection is based on:

• Marks obtained in the final semester of the ITI trade examination, as declared in the mela application.

• Applicable social reservation (SC/ST/VJ/NT-B/NT-C/NT-D/SEBC/EWS) and parallel reservation (Women 30%, Ex-servicemen 15%, Project-affected 5%, Sportspersons 5%, Earthquake-affected 2%, Orphans 1%, PwD 4%).

• In case of a tie in marks, preference is given to the candidate with the earlier date of birth (seniority by age).

• A combined merit list is prepared; high-scoring backward-class candidates are also considered against open-category posts.

• Selected candidates' names are published on the BMC recruitment portal, followed by document verification and an online offer.

Note: Under Section 22 of the Apprentices Act, 1961, BMC is not obligated to absorb apprentices into regular service after training completion. Selected candidates must submit a written undertaking accepting this condition.
