📈 Year-over-Year Trend

❓ More Information You Need
Q: Where do I register on the NATS portal and what’s the actual link/website?
The NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme) portal is at nats.education.gov.in. Candidates must register there, select KRCL as the establishment, and generate a NATS ID before attending Document Verification — the page mentions the portal but gives no URL.
Q: What percentage/marks cutoff is needed in BE/Diploma or graduation to be eligible, and is there a minimum aggregate required for the merit list?
The notification does not specify a minimum qualifying percentage in this content — only aggregate marks are used for ranking. Add a note that candidates should check their consolidated marksheet percentage since apprenticeship rules typically require minimum 50% aggregate (verify against final marksheet), and clarify how the merit list percentage is calculated (year-wise average vs final year marks).
Q: Is there a regional/domicile restriction that affects who can actually apply, given the preference list for Konkan-area districts?
Yes — this is important and buried at the bottom: ‘Land loser candidates get first preference, followed by candidates from Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, North Goa, South Goa, Uttara Kannada, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts.’ This should be stated upfront near eligibility, since a candidate from a tier-2 city outside Maharashtra/Goa/Karnataka coastal belt may have very low actual selection chances despite meeting basic eligibility.
