Visakhapatnam Port Trade Apprentice 2026: 20 Seats till 23 September

Visakhapatnam Port Authority (Mechanical and Electrical) has listed 20 Trade Apprentice seats covering Welder, Electrician, Fitter, Motor Mechanic and Electronics Mechanic. Applications for this cycle are to be made only on the national apprenticeship portal apprenticeshipindia.gov.in from 24 August 2026 to 23 September 2026. You need an ITI in the same trade. Training duration stated here is one year. The engagement is a statutory apprenticeship under NAPS and is not a Visakhapatnam Port regular job. Port phone given for this note: 0891-2873262. Official websites: vizagport.com and the shipping-ministry career host vpt.shipping.gov.in. No confirmed 2026 public notification PDF was found for a full stipend table, category split or a locked age number. This article therefore does not copy any 2024 stipend chart as if it were 2026 fact, and it does not treat “age 14” as a confirmed 2026 limit. Confirm live seat count, stipend and age on the NAPS opportunity page before you apply.

Because a signed 2026 PDF could not be confirmed, treat the portal opportunity as the source of truth. After you log in, search designated trades in Andhra Pradesh for establishment Visakhapatnam Port Authority. If the live card shows a different last date or fewer seats, follow the card — not an old social-media graphic.

Important dates (as listed for this cycle)

Seats and trades (listed)

Pay / stipend: not printed as a verified 2026 table in the source used here. Read the opportunity stipend field on NAPS. Do not rely on last year’s rupee figures from blogs.

Eligibility and nature of engagement

ITI passed in the identical designated trade you select. Age, medical and reservation rules, if any, appear on the live NAPS card and any later port circular — they are not invented in this article. Completing the year does not create a right to a port regular post. All India apprenticeship law and contract terms on the portal apply.

Selection

Shortlisting follows the establishment’s process on NAPS (merit / interview / document check as shown on the opportunity). There is no separate “Vizag Port job exam” described in the confirmed facts. Keep your NCVT / SCVT mark sheet ready for verification.

How to apply on NAPS

1. Register as a candidate on apprenticeshipindia.gov.in with Aadhaar-linked details as the portal asks.

2. Find opportunity: filter designated trades, state Andhra Pradesh, establishment Visakhapatnam Port Authority.

3. Apply only to the matching ITI trade between 24 August 2026 and 23 September 2026.

4. For port-side queries use 0891-2873262 and the careers pages on vizagport.com / vpt.shipping.gov.in — not private “port apprentice” WhatsApp forms.

Apply on the government portal before 23 September 2026 and re-check stipend, age and seat split on the live card. A 2024 PDF stipend table is not 2026 fact.
