The SCCL Apprentice Recruitment 2026 notification is out, and it’s a great opportunity for recent graduates and diploma holders looking to start their career with a Government company. The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has opened 300 apprenticeship slots across Engineering Graduate, Non-Engineering Graduate, and Diploma categories. If you passed out between 2022 and 2026, you can register on the NATS 2.0 portal and apply through the official SCCL apprenticeship portal.
Here’s the catch — the application window is very short. It opened on 6 August 2026 and closes on 16 August 2026, so you need to move fast. This guide covers everything you need: vacancy breakup, eligibility, stipend, selection process, and a step-by-step apply guide.

Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
You need to be a graduate in engineering, a graduate in a non-engineering stream, or a diploma holder in one of the branches listed above. Only candidates who passed their final qualifying exam in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026 can apply — anyone outside this window will be rejected at the scrutiny stage.
Age Limit (as on 31 July 2026)
| Category | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| General | 18 to 28 years |
| SC/ST/OBC (BC) | 18 to 33 years (5 years relaxation) |
✅ If you’re already undergoing or have completed an apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, 1961 — in SCCL or anywhere else — you’re not eligible this time, and you’ll need to submit an undertaking confirming this.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| All Categories | ₹0 (No Fee) |
There’s no registration fee at any stage — not on the NATS 2.0 portal, the SCCL portal, or while submitting your hard copy at the MVTC/GVTC counter.
SCCL Apprentice Stipend 2026
This is a stipend-based apprenticeship, not a salaried post, but the numbers are still worth knowing.
| Category | Monthly Stipend |
|---|---|
| Engineering & Non-Engineering Graduates | ₹12,300 |
| Diploma Holders | ₹10,900 |
💡 Pro Tip: The stipend is split 50-50 between SCCL and BOAT (Southern Region)/NATS 2.0, Ministry of Education, and it’s credited directly through DBT — so make sure your Union Bank of India (UBI) account is Aadhaar-linked with e-KYC completed before you apply.
