HPSEBL Apprenticeship Stipend 2026 – Financial Terms
A clear financial picture before you apply.
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly Stipend | ₹12,300 |
| HRA | Not applicable |
| Conveyance Allowance | Not applicable |
| Medical Facility | Not applicable |
| Accommodation | Not provided |
| Post-Apprenticeship Job Guarantee | None – HPSEBL has no obligation to offer regular employment |
The ₹12,300 monthly stipend is the total compensation during the one-year training period. No other monetary or non-monetary benefit is admissible. The training cannot be extended beyond one year under any circumstance.
💡 Good to know: Even without a post-training job guarantee, completing a government-backed apprenticeship with HPSEBL significantly strengthens your resume — particularly for future PSU and state government applications in the power sector.
Training Locations Across Himachal Pradesh
This is a location-specific programme. Apprentices will be placed at stations across 15 locations in Himachal Pradesh:
Shimla, Solan, Nahan, Rampur, Rohru, Dharamshala, Kangra, Dalhousie, Dehra, Hamirpur, Una, Bilaspur, Mandi, Kullu, and Sundernagar.
Shimla has the highest number of allocated seats across most disciplines. Smaller stations primarily have seats in the Electrical discipline.
You can indicate up to three preferred training locations in order of preference on your application form. Allotment is based on merit and stated preference, subject to availability. If you leave this blank, a station may be assigned randomly.
⚠️ For the exact discipline-wise seat count at each location, refer to Annexure-A in the official notification PDF, available at www.hpseb.in.
Selection Process – No Written Exam, No Interview
Selection for HPSEBL Apprenticeship Training 2026 is entirely merit-based, with no written examination or personal interview. Here is how the 100-point merit score is calculated:
| Component | Weightage |
|---|---|
| Marks in Matriculation (Class 10) | 20% |
| Marks in 10+2 or Diploma (whichever is higher, if you hold both) | 20% |
| Marks in the Essential Qualification of the applied discipline | 60% |
| Total | 100% |
A separate merit list will be prepared for each discipline. In case two candidates have equal total marks, the older candidate (earlier date of birth) will be ranked higher. If dates of birth also match, the candidate with higher Matriculation marks will get preference.
The shortlist of selected candidates will be published only on the official HPSEBL website — there is no individual communication sent by post or e-mail. Keep checking www.hpseb.in regularly.
Shortlisted candidates are called for document verification in a 1:4 ratio (four candidates per seat). All original certificates must be produced at this stage. Any false claim leads to immediate cancellation and possible prosecution. A medical fitness certificate is also required before joining.
