PwBD candidates need a disability of 40% or more. The notice lists, trade by trade, which disabilities are identified as suitable. Check the official notification for the discipline-specific eligibility of each post.

• Eligible local candidates living within 16 km of Narora Atomic Power Station get first preference, subject to the reservation rules. If there are not enough eligible local candidates in a category, candidates from outside the area are considered on merit.
• The shortlist is based on the percentage of marks in the respective trade or discipline.
• If two candidates have the same percentage, the one born earlier ranks higher.
• If the date of birth is also the same, the candidate with the higher Matriculation (10th) percentage ranks higher.

Candidates graded in CGPA, GPA, SGPA or letter grades must submit the conversion table issued by their institute. If the institute has no conversion formula, NPCIL uses the following equivalents:

CGPA/CPI scale Equivalent to 55% / 60% / 65% 10 point 5.9 / 6.5 / 7.0 9 point 4.9 / 5.4 / 6.0 8 point 4.4 / 4.8 / 5.3 7 point 3.8 / 4.2 / 4.6 6 point 3.3 / 3.6 / 4.0 5 point 2.7 / 3.0 / 3.3 4 point 2.0 / 2.2 / 2.5

• Each apprentice signs a contract of apprenticeship with NPCIL under the Apprentices Act, 1961 and the Apprenticeship Rules, 1992. The contract ends when the training period ends.
• Apprentices who stay away from training may have to refund the whole cost of their training, meaning the stipend received, as decided by the Central Apprenticeship Advisor.
• NAPS is a highly protected area, so apprentices are engaged only after they submit a Police Verification Certificate issued by the District Police Authorities.
• No hostel or transport is provided.
• NPCIL is not obliged to offer a job to anyone who completes the training, and apprentices are not obliged to accept one. Completing the apprenticeship gives no right to claim a job at NPCIL.
• Management may cancel or change the number of seats in any trade or discipline, or cancel the whole process, without giving reasons. Seats may stay unfilled if there are not enough suitable candidates.
