Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has initiated the recruitment process for Apprenticeship training for the 2025-26 session across the Southern Region Transmission System-II, covering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Since the application window is scheduled from March 2, 2026, to March 11, 2026, the official Result and Merit List are currently not declared. However, candidates must understand the selection architecture which is purely based on academic merit. The Power Grid Corporation of India Limited Result will be compiled by analyzing the marks obtained by candidates in their respective technical qualifications, such as ITI Electrician, Diploma in Electrical Engineering, or B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering. As this is a Maharatna Enterprise, the selection process is highly competitive and transparent. Once the application phase concludes, the organization will scrutinize all submissions to ensure eligibility regarding age, medical fitness, and educational validity. The Selection Process strictly follows the Apprentice Act of 1961, and the subsequent Merit List will be published on the official website. Candidates who find their names in the Selection List will be called for the Next Stage, which is the Document Verification process. It is important to note that the merit list is prepared in a 1:5 ratio relative to the number of training slots available in each category and state. The Cut Off Marks will depend on the volume of applications and the highest percentages achieved by the applicants in their final year examinations. To check the status once released, candidates must visit the Official Website at powergrid.in and navigate to the careers section. The Download PDF option for the result will be made available for students to verify their roll numbers or registration IDs. After the verification of original certificates and mark sheets, a final selection status will be updated. Shortlisted individuals will then undergo a medical examination and police verification before signing the tri-partite apprenticeship contract on the NATS or NAPS portal. POWERGRID ensures that the selection remains merit-oriented, and candidates are advised to keep their registered email IDs active for direct communication regarding the merit status. The stipend for selected candidates varies from Rs. 13,500 for ITI trades to Rs. 17,500 for Graduate Engineers, reflecting the importance of academic excellence in this engagement. Since there is no written examination, the academic syllabus of the respective qualifying degree serves as the benchmark for evaluation. Potential apprentices should prepare all necessary documents, including the Aadhaar-seeded bank account details for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) purposes, as this is a mandatory requirement for receiving the stipend. The organization emphasizes that the training duration is strictly one year, and completion of this period does not guarantee permanent employment, yet the experience gained at a prestigious organization like POWERGRID is invaluable for future career prospects in the power sector.
