MTPF Trade Apprentice Selection Process

Selection is on the basis of a merit list; there is no written examination or interview. Separate merit lists are prepared for the Non-ITI and Ex-ITI categories.

• Non-ITI: A common merit list is prepared based on the overall percentage of marks scored in Madhyamik/Matriculation (Class X or equivalent), aggregated across all subjects, irrespective of Board. Trades are allotted on a merit-cum-choice basis after selection.
• Ex-ITI: A trade-wise merit list is prepared based on the simple average of the percentage of marks in both Matriculation and ITI (minimum 50% aggregate required in each).
• Based on vacancy position, select lists are prepared; only provisionally selected candidates are called for document verification and medical examination.
• Tie-breaking: Older candidate preferred first; if date of birth is also the same, the candidate who passed Matriculation earlier is preferred; if that year is also the same, the candidate whose name comes first alphabetically is preferred.

• Canvassing in any form will disqualify the candidate; suppression of facts or forged certificates will lead to rejection/disqualification at any stage.
