Keep in mind that this is purely a training program. HAL does not guarantee employment or promise absorption once your 12-month contract ends.
Q4. Do I need to apply online or just show up for the walk-in? Ans. There isn’t a traditional online application form for this recruitment. You just need to attend the walk-in.

This includes your 10th marks sheet, your degree or diploma certificate (or provisional), all semester marks sheets, and any GPA/CGPA conversion guidelines from your university.
