How do I register on NATS 2.0 as a student?

Pick your student type on nats.education.gov.in. Regular Student, for diploma or graduate pass-outs · Sandwich / AEDP Student, for those still studying. Register with your details and complete eKYC. NATS covers graduates and diploma holders; M.E. and M.Tech. students are not covered. A CSC centre can also register you.

Why has my NATS stipend not come through DBT?

The government's share of the stipend comes only after DBT beneficiary registration succeeds. 1. Check that the Aadhaar number on the portal matches UIDAI records. 2. Ask your bank to seed Aadhaar with your account and map it in the NPCI Mapper. 3. Log in, update your Aadhaar and bank details, and click DBT Re-register. The new registration takes 3 to 4 working days.

About NATS Portal

Graduates and diploma holders in engineering, technology and other fields find apprenticeships on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) portal, nats.education.gov.in. NATS is a Ministry of Education scheme under the Apprentices Act, 1961, and its portal, NATS 2.0, gets technical support through AICTE.

Training lasts 6 months to a year. Apprentices get a monthly stipend, and the government's share reaches them by DBT. Four regional boards, BOAT in the Northern, Southern and Western regions and BOPT in the Eastern region, run the scheme and its apprenticeship fairs. At the end, apprentices receive a Certificate of Proficiency.

If NATS Portal isn't working

See if other apprentices report NATS A wave of NATS reports in one go points to the portal itself. Wait and retry in an hour.
Try email login If the Aadhaar OTP does not reach you, sign in with your email and password instead. APAAR ID login is the third option on the same page.
Recover your password Forgot Password on the student login sends the password to the email you gave at registration.
Fix the DBT bank link A stipend stuck at DBT needs an Aadhaar-seeded bank account. Fix it at the bank, then use DBT Re-register on the portal.

Questions

We track the NATS 2.0 student login page and add up what apprentices report. When reports climb together, the portal itself is down. If the page opens but your OTP does not come, try Login with Email instead.

Load builds up when establishments post openings and students rush to apply, and around apprenticeship fairs.

Login also depends on outside checks. Aadhaar login needs an OTP on your registered mobile, and DBT stipend registration checks your Aadhaar with UIDAI and your bank with the NPCI Mapper. A slow link anywhere in that chain looks like a portal problem.
