This opportunity is best suited to recent Graduate, Diploma and ITI pass-outs who want structured airport-sector apprenticeship training and meet all three decisive filters below:

Civil, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science/IT, Aeronautical/Aerospace/Aircraft Maintenance, Architecture and Mechanical/Automobile candidates have both Graduate and Diploma pathways. The Graduate table also includes BCA/B.Com, while ITI seats are offered for COPA/Steno and Computer Hardware & Networking.

Do not apply if you have already completed an apprenticeship, left one midway, or are currently pursuing apprenticeship in AAI or another organization at the same qualification level. The notice also excludes candidates who acquired one year or more of apprenticeship training/job experience after obtaining the essential qualification.

Candidates comparing other openings can browse current government jobs , central government opportunities and government jobs by qualification .

The number of seats is indicative. AAI may increase or reduce it, and filling every seat remains subject to candidate suitability and management's decision.

There is no written-exam date in this notice. Candidates searching for an “AAI apprentice exam date” or “AAI apprentice syllabus” should note that the notified process is merit and verification based; the advertisement does not announce a separate written examination.

The official total is 205 seats: 80 Graduate + 65 Diploma + 60 ITI . Candidates must apply for only one discipline. The notice expressly says that an applicant applying for more than one discipline will not be considered and the application will be rejected.

The notice requires a full-time regular four-year Degree or full-time regular three-year Diploma in Engineering , as applicable, in one of the listed streams and recognized by AICTE/Government of India. Degree/Diploma candidates must have passed in 2024 or later .

ITI candidates must possess an ITI/NCVT certificate in the listed trade—COPA/Steno or Computer Hardware & Networking—from an institution recognized under the terms stated in the notice.

This is not an unrestricted all-India apprentice intake. Only candidates domiciled in the following notified Northern Region jurisdictions are eligible:

The training station is not guaranteed to be in the candidate's home district or state. Selected candidates may be placed at notified Northern Region airports/establishments, and the allocated airport, station or unit is final. AAI says a later request to change the place of training will not be entertained.

You are not eligible under the stated conditions if:

This programme is therefore aimed at eligible recent pass-outs, not candidates seeking a second apprenticeship at the same qualification level.

The advertisement does not print category-wise relaxation years in the extracted text. Candidates should not insert an assumed relaxed age into the form; use the applicable Government of India rule and the category details accepted by the official portal.

No application fee is being charged. Candidates should use only the official NATS or NAPS route and should not pay a third party for an AAI application form.

The training period is one year . Selected apprentices must sign and accept the apprenticeship contract on the relevant NATS/NAPS portal immediately after joining. The contract automatically ends after the stipulated 12-month training period.

AAI expressly states that apprenticeship creates no right to regular employment . The authority has no obligation to offer a job or placement after training. Apprentices must follow the working hours, conduct, discipline and safety rules of the establishment where they train; indiscipline may lead to contract cancellation.

AAI describes the following selection route:

Merely attending document verification or medical examination does not create a right to selection. No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview/verification process.

The correct portal depends on your qualification category. Registered online applications received through NATS/NAPS are the only applications AAI will consider; email, post or other correspondence is not an alternative application route.

The notice makes profile verification the candidate's responsibility. Check that the concerned Regional Board has verified your profile and that your education, discipline, passing year and percentage appear correctly before the last date.
