Should You Apply?
Because selection relies entirely on academic merit rather than a competitive written examination, candidates with high percentages in their ITI course stand a strong chance of securing a training slot. Prospective applicants must ensure full Aadhaar (e-KYC) verification on the official apprenticeship portal before applying on the IGCAR recruitment page, as mismatched credentials or incomplete registrations can lead to disqualification. Additionally, applicants should note that training is open only to fresh candidates who have not previously undertaken apprenticeship under the Apprenticeship Act.
