Applicants are generally required to be between 18 and 40 years old and possess a valid CNIC. They must also have a permanent or temporary address belonging to an eligible OGDCL operational area.

There is some variation in publicly available information regarding the minimum education requirement. A recent NAVTTC Centre of Excellence announcement lists Middle pass as the minimum qualification, while reproductions of the admission notice list Matric. Candidates should therefore check the requirement for their selected trade on the current application form or confirm it with the training centre before applying.

Female candidates are also encouraged to submit applications.

Rs. 5,000 Stipend, Free Hostel and Other Benefits

One of the main features of the programme is that selected students don't have to pay a training fee.

According to the current admission information, trainees will receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 5,000 during the three-month programme. A total travel allowance of Rs. 15,000 is also listed.

Students coming from eligible districts outside Islamabad can benefit from free hostel accommodation. Meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, are also provided.

Other programme benefits include free training and certification, industrial visits, recreational visits, soft-skills training, access to laboratory facilities and instruction from qualified faculty.

These benefits can make the programme particularly useful for applicants who would otherwise find the cost of travelling to Islamabad and staying there difficult to manage.

Candidates should remember that receiving a stipend doesn't automatically mean everyone who submits an application will be enrolled. Applicants must complete the admission process and be selected for training.
