The Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) has opened 80 apprentice posts at its Narora Atomic Power Station in Uttar Pradesh. The vacancies cover 50 Trade Apprentice, 16 Diploma Apprentice and 14 Graduate Apprentice positions. Applications opened on 29 October and close on 18 November 2026.

The selection will be based on marks in the qualifying exam, with first preference given to candidates living within 16 km of the plant. No written test is planned. The monthly stipend ranges from Rs 10,560 to Rs 12,300. Candidates can apply through the NAPS 2.0 or NATS 2.0 portals and the NPCIL careers website.
The 80 positions are concentrated at one site: Narora Atomic Power Station, so this recruitment serves that plant’s operational needs rather than a national intake. The preference for candidates living within 16 km ties the selection to local hiring. No written exam appears, selection rests wholly on qualifying marks, which may favour applicants from stronger education boards. A key open point is how many applicants from that 16 km radius meet the age and qualification cut-offs, given the five-year graduation window. The November 18 deadline is the concrete next step for candidates.
