PCMC Apprentice Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 407 Posts

PCMC Apprentice Recruitment 2026 Overview

PCMC Apprentice Recruitment 2026 is for apprentice training under Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. Candidates should understand that this is apprenticeship training, not a regular permanent municipal post.

Important Dates

Candidates must complete both the online application and the offline document submission. Completing only one part may not be enough for consideration.

Trade-Wise Vacancy Details

The 407 apprentice seats are distributed across different ITI trades. Candidates should apply only for the trade matching their ITI qualification.

Eligibility Criteria

The basic eligibility requirement is ITI pass in the relevant trade. Candidates should also check the passing year and apprenticeship restrictions before applying.

• Candidates must have passed ITI in the relevant trade from a recognised Industrial Training Institute.
• The eligible ITI passing years are 2023, 2024 and 2025.
• Candidates who passed ITI before 2023 are not expected to be considered for this notification.
• Candidates who have already completed apprenticeship training at PCMC or any other organisation are not eligible.
• Candidates currently working as apprentices in another establishment are also not eligible.
• For COPA trade, preference may be given to candidates who have passed Marathi or English typewriting, as mentioned in the recruitment details.

Training Duration by Trade

The apprenticeship duration depends on the trade. Candidates should check their trade carefully because some trades have one year of training while others have two years.

Age Limit and Application Fee

The detailed advertisement should be checked for age-related rules under the Apprenticeship Act and applicable government norms. Since this recruitment is for ITI apprentices, candidates should ensure that their age and date of birth are correctly updated in their NAPS profile.

Candidates should not pay money to any person or agency claiming to arrange selection. The application should be made only through the official NAPS portal and updates should be checked only through official sources.

How to Apply Online

The application process is routed through the Apprenticeship India NAPS portal. Candidates should complete their profile before applying to the PCMC opportunity.

1. Visit the official NAPS portal at apprenticeshipindia.gov.in.
2. Register as a candidate, if not already registered.
3. Complete and update the NAPS profile fully.
4. Upload the required documents in the portal.

Document Submission After Online Application

After applying online, candidates must submit self-attested hard copies of the required documents. This step is important because PCMC will use the submitted documents for verification and selection processing.

Candidates should carry originals for verification wherever required and submit only correct, readable and self-attested copies. Incorrect or incomplete document submission may affect eligibility.

Selection Process

The selection is expected to be based on merit and document verification, not a written examination. Candidates should therefore enter ITI marks and trade details accurately in the online profile and application.
