Subject: - Creation of contracts using ONLINE mode only - IBM Portal – Reg.

This is to inform all the stakeholders that the migration activities from apprenticeship.gov.in (Wipro portal) to apprenticeshipindia.org (IBM portal) are almost in the finishing stage. Apprenticeship trainings (missing / non-migrated) which were commenced on or after 16.04.2019 can only be migrated (manually-bulk upload) to the new. IBM portal. DGT has devised a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to create those contracts which could not be migrated to the IBM portal, due to certain technical issues. 

  1. These migrations are broadly of two kinds:
    • a) Contract of apprenticeship was generated in Wipro portal but not migrated to the IBM portal.
    • b) Contract of apprenticeship not generated in Wipro portal, but training already commenced.
  2. 2 DGT is continuously supporting the migration of these two types of contracts, as and when we are receiving such requests from the Establishments. …. 
  3. Even, Online contract process in IBM portal is fully functional now. All the stakeholders are advised to engage new apprentices using ONLINE mode only. Contracts where Training Start Date is on or after 10.11.2020, must be processed using online mode. No legacy / bulk upload / update requests shall be entertained by this Directorate General for such trainings / contracts. IBM portal URL: https://apprenticeshipindia.org OR https://apprenticeshipindia.gov.in
  4. You all know, as per the statutory requirements, an Apprentice contract must be registered within a month of training start, with the concerned Approving Authority. Given below are some of the important timelines to be adhered to by all the stakeholders:

Step 7) At this stage, Temporary (TMP) contract will be generated by the system, 
Step 8) This TMP contract will then be available in candidate login.
Step 9) Candidate checks the details in the offered contract.. 
Step 10) If all the details are Ok, He accepts and Signs the contract. 
Step 11) New Contract Number is generated by the system starting with Code; CN...
