Tata Motors runs some of India’s biggest automobile plants — Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Sanand, Pantnagar and Dharwad — and hires ITI pass-outs, diploma holders and engineering freshers in large numbers every year. For hands-on candidates, Tata Motors Recruitment 2026 is one of the best industrial entry routes, spanning production, maintenance, quality and paint/weld shops.
Roles Open
The main entry routes are: ITI Apprentices (under the Apprenticeship Act, through the NAPS portal and plant-level drives), Diploma Trainees in mechanical/automobile/electrical streams, and Graduate Engineer Trainees for B.E./B.Tech freshers. Common ITI trades include Fitter, Welder, Electrician, Machinist, Turner, Motor Mechanic and Painter.
Eligibility
ITI candidates need the relevant trade certificate from a recognised institute; diploma and degree candidates generally need a consistent academic record. Age limits and physical fitness standards follow the Apprenticeship Act and company norms for each drive. Exact criteria are announced per plant and per batch.
Stipend and Salary
ITI apprentices receive a monthly stipend under the Apprenticeship Act — reported figures commonly fall in the ₹7,000–₹10,500 per month range depending on trade and year of training. Diploma trainees who are absorbed typically start around ₹2.5–3.5 lakh per annum, and GET packages are higher. Canteen, transport and medical facilities are provided at most plants as per policy.
Selection Process and How to Apply
Selection usually involves a written/aptitude test, a trade or technical test and an interview, followed by a medical examination. Apply through the Tata Motors careers portal (careers.tatamotors.com), the NAPS apprenticeship portal (apprenticeshipindia.gov.in) for apprentice seats, and official plant drive notices. Tata Motors charges no fee for recruitment. See also our Maruti Suzuki Recruitment 2026 guide and the L&T Recruitment 2026 guide on JYNEWS.
