How They Select
One thing students like is that there’s no exam. BLW only checks your marks in 10th or 12th and your ITI marks. Based on that, they prepare a merit list. If you’re shortlisted, you’ll get the news on the BLW portal only — no separate letter by post.
What Papers You Need
- Keep a folder ready with these:
- 10th or 12th pass certificate
- ITI trade certificate (NCVT/SCVT)
- Recent passport photo
- Aadhaar card or any valid ID proof
These documents prove your eligibility. If something is missing, your form may get cancelled.
An official from BLW said, “We want students to get good training and practical skills. This apprentice batch will get hands-on experience in loco works.” So it’s a good chance if you want to learn real skills while working with Indian Railways.
There are many fake job posts these days. So always check updates only on the BLW official website. All new notices, merit lists, or date changes are uploaded there first.
