Keep in mind that RITES has no obligation to offer you a job during or after the apprenticeship, so treat it as a one-year training opportunity. Register on NATS or NAPS, submit your documents through the RITES form and finish both before <strong>25 November 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-left:4px solid #1a73e8;background:#fff9c4;padding:12px 16px;\"><strong>Reminder:<\/strong> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VbDmtIqAYlUIp8RW9442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apna Future Jobs WhatsApp channel<\/a> for more verified and genuine government and private job updates everyday.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>RITES Apprentice Recruitment 2026 mein kitni vacancies hain?<\/h3>\n<p>There are 281 apprentice seats for FY 2026-27: 168 for graduates (125 engineering and 43 non-engineering), 62 for diploma holders and 51 trade apprentice seats for ITI pass-outs.<\/p>\n<h3>Kya BA, BCom, BSc ya BCA graduate RITES apprentice ke liye apply kar sakte hain?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
