HAL Nasik Apprentice 2026 – Important Dates and Application Fee

Application Dates – Online from 14 August to 4 September 2026

The online application for HAL Nasik Apprentice Recruitment 2026 has started from 14 August 2026. And the last date to apply is 4 September 2026. So you have about three weeks to complete your application. See, HAL always keeps a short application window, so do not wait till the last few days. The portal tends to slow down when lakhs of candidates try to apply together. And remember – ITI candidates must apply through NAPS portal (apprenticeshipindia.gov.in) while Graduate, Diploma, and Non-Technical Graduate candidates must apply through NATS 2.0 portal (nats.education.gov.in). So start the process early, keep all your documents ready, and complete the application in the first two weeks itself.

Tip: Ensure your Aadhaar is linked to your SBI bank account before applying – stipend will be paid only to Aadhaar-seeded SBI accounts. No joint accounts or Jan-Dhan accounts are accepted.

Application Fee – Completely Free

Great news – there is no application fee for any category. Whether you are General, OBC, SC, ST, or PwD, you do not have to pay anything to apply. This is a big relief for candidates who are applying for multiple apprenticeship programs. So there is absolutely no financial barrier to applying. Just focus on filling the form correctly and submitting it before the deadline. And keep a printout of the submitted application for your records – you may need it during document verification.

HAL Nasik Apprentice 2026 – Stipend and Job Profile

No joint accounts or Jan-Dhan accounts are accepted, so make sure your SBI account is Aadhaar-seeded before joining.

What You Will Learn During Apprenticeship

• Hands-on training in aircraft manufacturing and assembly at HAL Nasik plant
• Experience with advanced machinery and tools used in aerospace industry
• Understanding of quality control and inspection processes in aviation
• Exposure to defence production environment and international standards
• Practical skills in your respective trade under experienced HAL engineers
• Knowledge of HAL’s production systems, documentation, and compliance procedures
• Certificate of completion from HAL – highly valued in aviation and manufacturing industry

Many HAL apprentices have gone on to secure good jobs in companies like Boeing, Airbus, L&T Defence, and other aerospace firms.
