Estimated in-hand (after ~10% NPS deduction and minimal tax): ₹11,070–₹11,070 for diploma; ₹11,070–₹11,070 for graduates, exact calculation depends on final deductions. Apprenticeship stipends are not regular salary, they are performance-based, non-pensionable earnings. The amount covers the training period (typically 12 months).

Use the salary calculator to estimate deductions and in-hand amount based on state tax laws. Career growth post-apprenticeship follows CMWSSB's grade structure for permanent posts. Graduate Apprentices may qualify for higher pay bands if appointed as Junior Engineers or similar positions; diploma holders may progress to Senior Technician or Technician roles.
