Training Locations Across Himachal Pradesh (Annexure-A)
This HPSEBL apprenticeship is location-specific, and candidates can express a preference for their preferred training station. This section lists the locations where seats have been notified under Annexure-A of the official advertisement.
As per Annexure-A, women apprentices will be engaged across 15 locations in Himachal Pradesh: Shimla, Solan, Nahan, Rampur, Rohru, Dharamshala, Kangra, Dalhousie, Dehra, Hamirpur, Una, Bilaspur, Mandi, Kullu, and Sundernagar. Shimla has the largest share of seats among all locations, spread across most of the nine disciplines, while several smaller stations have seats limited mainly to the Electrical discipline. For the exact discipline-wise seat count at each individual location, candidates should refer to Annexure-A in the PDF Download Link, as the scanned table in the official notification should be cross-checked directly for precise station-wise figures.
Candidates can fill up to a maximum of three preferred training locations in their application, in order of precedence. Station allotment will be based on the merit list and the preference given, subject to availability; if no preference is given, the station may be allotted on a random basis.
Selection Process for HPSEBL Apprenticeship Training 2026
Selection for this apprenticeship is based purely on document screening and a merit list, without any written examination or interview. This section breaks down exactly how the merit score of 100 marks is calculated.
A separate merit list will be prepared for each discipline based on candidates who meet the eligibility criteria. In case two candidates secure equal marks, the candidate with an earlier date of birth (older in age) will be ranked higher; if the date of birth is also the same, the candidate with higher marks in Matriculation will be preferred. The list of shortlisted candidates will be displayed only on the official HPSEBL website, with no separate individual intimation.
Shortlisted candidates will be called for document verification in a ratio of 1:4 for each seat, where they must produce all original testimonials and certificates. Any false claim found at this stage will lead to cancellation of candidature and possible prosecution. A medical fitness certificate must also be produced before joining.
