BEML Limited has released the BEML Apprentices Recruitment 2026 notification for 1,346 one-year apprenticeship training slots. Eligible ITI, Diploma, Engineering Graduate, and General Graduate candidates can submit their online applications from 18 August 2026 to 8 September 2026, up to 11:00 PM, through the official BEML recruitment portal.
BEML is a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India. The engagement is being conducted under Advertisement No. L&D/01/2026 for training at BEML’s Bangalore, Mysore, KGF and Palakkad complexes. This is an apprenticeship opportunity—not a permanent BEML job—and completing the training does not create a right to regular employment with the organisation.
