Agar aap ITI tradesman background se ho to IREL Tradesman Trainee Recruitment 2026 (131 posts) bhi dekh sakte ho — wahan bhi ITI walo ke liye badi vacancy nikli hai.
Kaun sa ITI Trade Certificate Kis Post Code ke Liye Chalega?
Candidates ka sabse common doubt: mera ITI certificate kis post code ke liye valid hai? Rule simple hai — certificate ka trade post code ke trade se exactly match hona chahiye. Official notification me har post code ke saath trade ka poora naam diya gaya hai:
| Post Code | ITI trade certificate (full name) |
|---|---|
| TE01 | Fitter |
| TE02 | Electronics Mechanic |
| TE03 | Instrument Mechanic |
| TE04 | Lab Assistant (Chemical Plant) |
| TE05 | Computer Operator and Programming Assistant (COPA) |
| TE06 | Information & Communication Technology System Maintenance (ICTSM) |
| TE07 | Refrigeration & Air Conditioning |
| TE08 | Electrician |
| TE09 | Carpenter |
| TE10 | Plumber |
| TE11 | Sheet Metal Worker |
| TE12 | Turner |
| TE13 | Welder |
⚠️ Galat trade ka certificate = reject. Agar aapka ITI trade upar wali list me nahi hai to ye 28 jobs aapke liye nahi hain — jaan-bujh kar alag trade se apply karna time aur fee dono ki barbaadi hai. Written exam ke Paper-III ka syllabus bhi isi trade ka hoga, isliye preparation bhi apne trade ke ITI syllabus se karo.
Eligibility Criteria — Qualification aur Age Limit
Educational Qualification
Har trade ke liye 10th / SSC (Science subjects ke saath, minimum 55% marks) compulsory hai, aur uske saath usi trade me neeche diye gaye teen options me se koi ek hona chahiye:
| Option | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1 | ITI certificate ya National/State Trade Certificate (usi trade me) |
| 2 | Recognised institution se 2 saal ka full-time apprenticeship experience (usi trade me) |
| 3 | Ministry/Department/PSU/Autonomous Body (Centre/State/UT) me 3 saal ka work experience (usi trade me) |
Dhyan rahe: qualification post code ke trade se match honi chahiye — higher qualification iski jagah nahi le sakti. Experience minimum educational qualification haasil karne ke baad ka hi gina jayega, aur part-time/daily-wage/guest experience count nahi hoga.
Age Limit (as on 18.11.2026)
| Category | Upper age me relaxation |
|---|---|
| General / UR | 18–28 saal (koi relaxation nahi) |
| SC / ST | 5 saal (sirf apni reserved posts par) |
| OBC (NCL) | 3 saal (sirf apni reserved posts par) |
| PwBD | 10 saal (SC/ST ke liye 15, OBC ke liye 13) |
| Ex-Servicemen | 3 saal (military service ghata kar) |
| Regular Govt employees | 5 saal tak (3 saal continuous service par) |
🎂 Confused ho ki tumhari age eligible hai ya nahi? Hamara free Age Eligibility Checker use karo — cut-off date 18.11.2026 par exact age nikal kar relaxation ke saath eligibility turant bata dega.

| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / EWS (non-exempt) | ₹500 (non-refundable) |
| SC / ST / PwBD / Women / Ex-Servicemen | Fee nahi hai (exempt) |
Fee SBI Collect ke through pay hogi (Application Fees-Regular Appointment). SC/ST candidates ko UR post par apply karne par bhi fee exemption milti hai. Bina fee ke non-exempt application sidha reject ho jayegi — isliye payment ka e-receipt sambhal kar rakho, hard copy ke saath lagana hoga.
Salary — Kitni Salary Milegi?
Technician (1) post Pay Matrix Level-2 (₹19,900–63,200) me aati hai. Minimum basic pay ₹19,900 par Mysuru HQ me HRA jod kar approx ₹37,260 per month total emoluments bante hain. Iske upar DA, Transport Allowance, medical reimbursement, LTC aur Children Education Allowance bhi milega (central government norms ke hisaab se). NPS (National Pension System) applicable hai, aur CSIR ki Assessment Promotion scheme se aage badhne ka rasta bhi khula hai.

Selection Process
Selection 5 stages me hoga:
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Screening | Screening Committee applications check karke Trade Test ke liye shortlist karegi |
| 2. Trade Test | Apne trade ka practical test — qualifying nature ka hai |
| 3. Written Exam | 3 papers (OMR ya computer-based, objective type) |
| 4. Document Verification | Certificates aur eligibility proof check |
| 5. Medical | Final fitness test |
Written Exam Pattern (official)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper-I | Mental Ability Test | 50 | 100 | 1 hour | Nahi hai |
| Paper-II | General Awareness (25) + English Language (25) | 50 | 150 | 30 min | 1 mark per wrong answer |
| Paper-III | Concerned Subject (apna trade) | 50 | 150 | 1 hour | 1 mark per wrong answer |

Paper English aur Hindi dono me hoga (English Language section sirf English me). Exam standard SSC + ITI/XIIth level ka hai.
