The Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) has invited applications for 70 apprenticeship posts under the Apprentices Act, 1961, including 16 graduate technical, 6 graduate non-technical, 28 diploma technician and 20 ITI trade positions. Candidates must register on the NAPS or NATS portal and submit the prescribed form to KMRL’s corporate office by 10 November 2026.

Selected apprentices will undergo one year of practical training with a monthly stipend of Rs 9,600 to Rs 12,300, plus an additional Rs 1,200 food allowance. There is no application fee, written examination or interview. Shortlisting will be based on document verification. Applicants must have completed full-time regular study within the last five years and be at least 18 years old.
The 70 slots span graduate technical, non-technical, diploma and ITI streams, with stipends ranging from Rs 9,600 to Rs 12,300 plus a Rs 1,200 messing allowance. The absence of a written exam or interview means selection hinges entirely on application shortlisting and certificate verification. Eligibility restrictions, full-time regular study only, a five-year passing window, and a bar on prior or ongoing apprentices, will narrow the pool sharply. All applications must reach KMRL’s corporate office in Kochi by 10 November 2026.
