Educational Qualification: ITI and NAC Required
The qualification combination is Class 10 + National Trade Certificate (NTC/ITI) + National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) in the respective trade. An ITI certificate alone does not satisfy the qualification stated in the short notice.
| Category | Minimum marks |
|---|---|
| General and OBC | 60% in both NTC/ITI and NAC |
| SC and ST | 55% in both NTC/ITI and NAC |
Check the percentage in each qualification separately. For example, a General-category applicant with 65% in ITI and 58% in NAC would not meet the stated 60% requirement in both qualifications. Averaging the two percentages would not resolve that shortfall.
The short notice does not list a separate minimum-marks rule for every category. EWS applicants and others whose category is not separately addressed should check the detailed eligibility instructions. Knowledge of the relevant regional language is desirable for units in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; Hindi is desirable for the other units.
BHEL Artisan Age Limit
The age calculation date is 1 October 2026.
| Category | Upper age limit |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | 27 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 30 years |
| SC / ST | 32 years |
Relaxations for persons with benchmark disabilities and ex-servicemen are subject to the applicable rules. Read the detailed reservation, relaxation and supporting-document conditions before deciding eligibility.
