Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a Navratna defence PSU, has opened online pre-registration for 23 Trainee Engineer-I posts at its Kotdwara unit. The vacancies are split across Electronics (16), Mechanical (5), and Computer Science (2). Candidates with a B.E., B.Tech, or four-year B.Sc. Engineering degree in the relevant discipline can apply. The maximum age limit is 28 years as of 1 November 2026, with category-wise relaxation. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly remuneration of Rs 40,000 in the first year, rising to Rs 50,000 if the tenure is extended to a third year.

The online pre-registration process began on 12 November 2026 and will close at 11:59 PM on 26 November 2026. The written test is scheduled for 13 December 2026 at BEL Kotdwara, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. Application fee is Rs 177 for General, EWS, and OBC-NCL candidates, SC, ST, and PwBD candidates are exempt. Candidates must register through the official portal at jobapply.in before the deadline to be eligible for the written examination and document verification.
Both Sakshi Education and FreeJobAlert carry identical wire-style coverage of the BEL Kotdwara recruitment notice, with no discernible slant. Each source leads with the 23 vacancy figure, breaks the posts into the same three disciplines, and repeats the same dates, salary band, and age limit. Sakshi Education includes a step-by-step how-to-apply section not found in FreeJobAlert, while FreeJobAlert supplies the advertisement number and a detailed seat-reservation table by category. The differences are purely structural, one aims at the applicant who needs process guidance, the other at the applicant who wants full tabular data. Neither foregrounds a positive or negative angle on the public sector or the defence ministry. The deadline for online pre-registration is 26 November 2026, and the written examination is scheduled for 13 December 2026 at BEL Kotdwara.
