Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) has invited applications for 171 Trade Apprentice positions at its Malanjkhand Copper Project under the Apprentices Act 1961. The vacancies span trades including Mate Mines, Shotfirer/Blaster, Driver-cum-Mechanic and Mechanic Diesel. Candidates must have passed Class 10 or its equivalent, or hold an ITI in the relevant trade. The application process requires registration on the Government of India apprenticeship portal (www.apprenticeship.gov.in), followed by submission on the HCL website. The unique number generated on the government portal must be entered in the HCL form or the application will be rejected. The last date for online applications is 24 November 2026. A list of shortlisted candidates will be published on 12 December 2026.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The deadline of 24 November gives potential applicants just two weeks to complete the two-step registration on both the Government of India apprenticeship portal and HCL’s own site. The publication of the shortlisted candidates list on 12 December is the next concrete milestone. Anyone who omits the unique number from the government portal in the HCL application will be automatically rejected.
