BEL Navi Mumbai Apprentice Recruitment 2026 for Graduate, Diploma & ITI Apprentices - Apply Online
Important Dates
It is exceptionally important for candidates to adhere strictly to the recruitment schedule. The official recruitment advertisement (Advt No: 170004/HR/NAMU/APP/2026/01) was sanctioned and publicized on 14th February 2026. Eligible candidates are granted a relatively short window to finalize their applications. The Last Date to Submit the Application is rapidly approaching on 27th February 2026. Candidates must guarantee that their completely filled application forms and scanned educational documents securely reach the designated official BEL email address before midnight on the closing date. Delaying the process might result in application rejection. Shortlisted candidates will be subsequently informed about their verification dates through their registered email IDs.
Application Fee
One of the most encouraging aspects of the Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) Apprentice Online Form 2026 is its absolute cost-effectiveness for the candidates. To ensure maximum participation from eligible rural and urban youth without imposing any financial strain, the management of BEL has entirely waived off the application fee. There is absolutely NO Application Processing Fee required for any candidate. Applicants belonging to the Unreserved (General), OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and PwBD categories can freely complete their online portal registrations and submit their resumes to the official email without spending a single rupee.
Age Limit
Age restrictions for the BEL Apprentice Jobs 2026 are meticulously outlined to target young individuals starting their professional journey. The minimum age to apply is universally 18 years. For candidates applying for the Graduate (B.E/B.Tech/B.Sc/BA/B.Com) and Diploma Apprentice posts, the maximum upper age limit is set at 25 years. For candidates applying under the ITI Apprentice category, the maximum age limit is strictly capped at 21 years. These age limits are generally calculated as on the closing date of the application. Furthermore, comprehensive age relaxations are rightfully provided according to the Government of India norms: a 5-year relaxation for SC/ST category candidates, a 3-year relaxation for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, and a heavily extended 10-year relaxation for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD).
Qualification
Because the BEL Navi Mumbai Apprentice Vacancy 2026 targets three entirely distinct educational tiers, the eligibility criteria are explicitly compartmentalized. For Graduate Apprentices (Engineering), candidates must possess a 4-year B.E/B.Tech degree in core branches like Electronics, Telecommunication, Mechanical, or Computer Science. For Graduate Apprentices (Non-Engineering), a standard 3-year B.A, B.Sc, or B.Com degree from a recognized university is perfectly acceptable. For Diploma Apprentices, candidates strictly need a 3-year regular Diploma in Engineering from a recognized State Board of Technical Education. For ITI Apprentices, candidates must possess an ITI Certificate issued strictly by the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) or State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT) in trades like Fitter, Turner, Electrician, or Electronic Mechanic. Crucially, candidates must be "Freshers" (passed their qualifying exam in or after 2023). Those who have already undergone apprenticeship training elsewhere or have one year or more of work experience are legally disqualified from applying.
