HCL Apprentice Recruitment 2026 Eligibility Criteria

  • Applicants must have passed Class 10 or Matriculation under the 10+2 education system or an equivalent examination. For trades numbered 4 to 19, candidates must also possess an ITI qualification in the relevant trade from a recognized institute.

HCL Apprentice Educational Qualification

Trade CategoryEducational Qualification
Mate Mines (Fresher)10th Pass; ITI Not Required
Shotfirer / Blaster (Mines)10th Pass; ITI Not Required
Driver-cum-Mechanic (LMV)10th Pass; ITI Not Required
Trades 4 to 1910th Pass and ITI in Relevant Trade
  • Important: The notice contains a minor inconsistency: the eligibility paragraph explicitly identifies Sl. Nos. 1 and 3 as 10th-pass entries, while the main vacancy table also shows no technical qualification for Sl. No. 2, Shotfirer/Blaster (Mines). The selection paragraph separately confirms that Blaster (Mines) is assessed on Class 10 marks alone. Candidates applying for these three trades should follow the trade-wise qualification table and verify the relevant application instructions.
