RCFL Apprentice Stipend 2026

Wondering what you’ll actually take home each month? Here’s the trade-wise stipend breakdown, which combines the amount paid by RCFL and the amount paid by the Board of Apprenticeship Training (BOAT):

💡 Pro Tip: The stipend is credited monthly on a fixed date, and it’s meant to support your training period — RCFL has clarified that apprentices have no automatic claim to regular employment after training ends, so treat this as valuable hands-on experience and a strong addition to your resume, not a guaranteed job pathway.

RCFL Apprentice Selection Process 2026

There’s no written exam for this recruitment. Selection runs purely on merit, through the following stages:

1. Merit List Preparation — Based on the percentage of marks you scored in your qualifying educational qualification.
2. CGPA/CPI Conversion — If your degree used CGPA or CPI instead of percentage, it will be converted using your university’s official conversion norms.
3. Document Verification — Shortlisted candidates from the merit list are called to verify original documents.
4. Contract Approval — You’re appointed only after Document Verification clears and your Apprenticeship Contract is approved on the NATS/NAPS portal.
5. Joining — You’re expected to join on the contract approval date; missing it can lead to cancellation of your candidature.
