SECR Nagpur Apprentice Recruitment 2026 Notification Out – Apply Online for 1079 Trade Apprentice Posts
Job Description & Details
South East Central Railway (SECR), Nagpur Division has released a large apprenticeship recruitment notification for 1079 Trade Apprentice vacancies for the session 2026-27. The recruitment will be conducted for Nagpur Division and Motibagh Workshop under the Apprentices Act 1961 and Apprenticeship Rules 1992. Candidates who have passed 10th along with ITI certification in relevant trades can apply online through the Apprenticeship India portal.
This apprenticeship program offers an excellent opportunity for ITI students seeking practical technical training in Indian Railways. Railway apprenticeship training is highly valued because candidates receive real industrial exposure in workshops, electrical maintenance units, diesel sections and technical departments. Many candidates from Assam and Northeast India apply for Railway apprenticeships every year because it improves future chances in railway jobs, PSU recruitment and private manufacturing industries.
The recruitment includes major trades such as Electrician, COPA, Fitter, Mechanic Diesel, Welder, Carpenter, Wireman, Electronics Mechanic and several other technical fields. Among all trades, Electrician and COPA have the highest number of vacancies, making this recruitment particularly attractive for ITI candidates from technical institutes across India.
One important advantage of SECR apprenticeship training is that candidates gain direct exposure to railway workshop operations, safety systems, electrical infrastructure and mechanical maintenance. Even though apprenticeship training does not guarantee permanent employment, many candidates later qualify for Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) examinations and PSU technical jobs using the experience gained during apprenticeship.
Selection will be purely merit-based without any written examination. Merit will be prepared using marks obtained in 10th standard and ITI trade certificates. Candidates are advised to carefully fill their marks during online registration because incorrect entries may lead to rejection.
Applicants should complete the online application process before the deadline and keep all original certificates ready for document verification.
