Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) has kicked off its apprenticeship recruitment drive for 2026, announcing the availability of 190 apprentice posts across multiple technical and non-technical disciplines. The recruitment is being conducted under the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), and prospective candidates are required to submit their applications through the official portal at nats.education.gov.in.
This recruitment drive is part of KRCL's ongoing effort to tap into fresh talent and provide hands-on training opportunities to young graduates and diploma holders who wish to build careers in the railway sector. Apprentices under this programme receive stipends while undergoing practical training, which often serves as a stepping stone to regular employment in the organisation.
While the official notification has been released, candidates are advised to carefully review the detailed advertisement for complete information regarding the eligible disciplines, age limits, educational qualifications, and application deadlines. Typically, such apprenticeship recruitments attract significant interest from applicants across the Konkan region and neighbouring states, given the reputation and stability associated with working for a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways.
The selection process generally involves a merit-based evaluation, where candidates are shortlisted according to their academic performance in relevant qualifications. Shortlisted applicants may also be called for document verification or skill assessments, depending on the nature of the trade or discipline.
Candidates who have already registered on the NATS portal are encouraged to log in and check for the newly advertised vacancies under Konkan Railway. Those yet to register will need to create an account before filling out the application form. Applicants should ensure that all personal, educational, and contact details are accurately entered, as corrections may not be permitted after submission.
Recruitment updates and further clarifications are expected to be published on the official Konkan Railway website and the NATS portal in the coming weeks.
