SCCL Apprentice Recruitment 2026: 300 Vacancies, Apply Online by 16 August

Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), a Telangana government coal-mining PSU, has invited online applications for 300 Graduate and Diploma Apprentice posts. The application window opened on 6 August 2026 at 12:00 PM and closes on 16 August 2026 at 5:00 PM. Engineering graduates, non-engineering graduates, and diploma holders who completed their qualifying examination in the last five years (pass-out years 2022 to 2026) are eligible to apply. The minimum age is 18 years and the maximum is 28 years, with a 5-year relaxation (up to 33 years) for SC/ST/BC candidates, as reckoned on 31 July 2026. There is no application fee for any category — General/OC, SC, ST, BC, or EWS — whether applying via the SCCL web portal or submitting a hard copy at the Area MVTC counter. Candidates must first register on the NATS 2.0 portal before applying on the official SCCL apprenticeship portal. This apprenticeship does not involve a written exam or interview. Selection is purely merit-based, following inter-seniority within each pass-out year. The engagement is for a fixed one-year period and is not a regular job — it automatically ends on completion of the apprenticeship term.
