The Board of Apprenticeship Training Southern Region (BOAT-SR) offers practical training to diploma holders in engineering. Established decades ago under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, BOAT-SR connects diploma holders with industries for hands-on training and stipend support. The program aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and industrial requirements by providing structured apprenticeship opportunities.

Open to Indian citizens who have completed a diploma in engineering or technology. Candidates must be within the age limit specified by the participating industries. There are no strict income or mark-based criteria, but preference may be given to candidates with a strong academic record. Reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD may receive priority as per government norms.

Visit the official BOAT-SR page for the latest application details. Fill out the application form with personal, academic, and contact information. Submit required documents, including diploma certificates, mark sheets, and identity proof. Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview or selection process conducted by partner industries.
