Naipunyam is the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) portal for free skill training and job melas. It is the place for young people in Andhra Pradesh who are looking for work — students who have finished school or college, graduates and ITI holders. This guide explains what Naipunyam offers, who can register, how to register, and how job melas work.

What Is Naipunyam
Naipunyam is run by the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC). It connects young people with training and with employers — the training builds job-ready skills, and the job melas bring employers to one place to interview candidates.
The portal is free to use. Registration costs nothing, the skill training offered through it is free, and there is no fee to attend a job mela. If anyone asks you to pay for Naipunyam registration or training, check first — the service is meant to be free.
Naipunyam is different from a job website. A job website lists vacancies; Naipunyam adds training before the job. If you do not have the skill an employer wants, the portal can connect you to a course first, and then to the employer. That is the whole point of APSSDC — training and placement together.
Who Can Register on Naipunyam
Anyone in Andhra Pradesh who is looking for work can register on Naipunyam — students who have finished school or college, graduates, ITI holders and unemployed youth. There is no fee and no entrance test — you register with your details and choose what you are interested in. Students who are still studying can also check the scholarship support available to them.
How to Register on Naipunyam — Step by Step
- Open https://naipunyam.ap.gov.in.
- Register with your name, mobile number and Aadhaar.
- Fill in your education details and upload your education certificates.
- Choose the skill training or job you are interested in.
- Keep your mobile number active — training and job mela messages come by SMS.
Free Skill Training on Naipunyam
Training covers job-ready skills — the exact courses depend on what APSSDC and its training partners are offering. The courses are meant to make you employable: the skills employers ask for, taught by trainers APSSDC has approved.
Before you join a course, check what it covers and how long it runs. A short course that teaches a skill an employer needs is worth more than a long course with no job at the end. Ask the training centre what employers it places candidates with.
Training centres are spread across the state, and the courses change with what employers need. A course in one district may not be running in another — check the portal for what is available near you, and do not travel to a centre without confirming the course first.
If you are not sure which skill to learn, start with what employers near you are hiring for. Look at the job mela listings on the portal — they show the jobs on offer and the skills each employer wants. A skill that appears in many listings is a safe choice, because it means many employers need it. A course in that skill is more likely to end in a job.
Job Melas on Naipunyam — How They Work
- Job mela listings are on the portal at https://naipunyam.ap.gov.in/view-all-jobmela.
- Each listing shows the date, venue, employers attending and the jobs on offer.
- Register on the portal first, then attend the mela with your Aadhaar, education certificates and a few copies of your resume.
- Employers interview candidates at the mela and shortlist on the spot.
Documents Needed for Naipunyam
- Aadhaar card.
- Education certificates (10th, Intermediate, degree or ITI, as applicable).
- Mobile number linked to Aadhaar.
- A resume, for job melas.
Keep originals and photocopies ready. At a job mela, employers ask for your certificates and your resume — a candidate with papers ready gets interviewed first, and a candidate who has to go home for them loses the chance.
A resume is not optional for job melas. Write one page with your name, mobile number, education and any skill you have learned — even a short course counts. Employers at a mela see hundreds of candidates in a day; a clear resume is what makes them remember you.
Carry two or three copies of your resume to every mela, in a folder that keeps them clean. Hand one copy to each employer you speak to, and keep one for yourself. A crumpled resume left at the bottom of a bag tells the employer you did not prepare.
Naipunyam: Why It Is the Real Option While Nirudyoga Bruthi Is Still Pending
Naipunyam matters because the other headline promise for unemployed youth has not arrived. Nirudyoga Bruthi — the promised Rs.3,000 a month unemployment allowance — has not been launched, and there is no launch date. Waiting for it means waiting for money that may never come.
Instead of waiting for an allowance with no launch date, register on Naipunyam, take a free skill course, and attend job melas. The real status of Nirudyoga Bruthi and what youth can do is explained in our guide to Nirudyoga Bruthi 2026, and the Super Six status shows which of the government’s Six Promises have actually launched and which are still pending.
Naipunyam: How to Prepare for a Job Mela
Job melas are the fastest route from Naipunyam to a job. The melas are listed on the portal at https://naipunyam.ap.gov.in/view-all-jobmela, and each listing shows the date, the venue, the employers attending and the jobs on offer. Register on the portal first, then prepare.
Prepare before you go. Keep your mobile number active, because training and job mela messages come by SMS. Carry your Aadhaar, your education certificates and a few copies of your resume. If you need help with the registration, your Grama or Ward Sachivalayam can guide you. The AP government’s own portal carries the official information: https://www.ap.gov.in/
After a mela, follow up. If an employer shortlists you, they will call or message you — keep your mobile number active and answer unknown numbers for a few days after the mela. If you are not shortlisted, do not wait for the next mela to prepare: register for a skill course on the portal and try again with a stronger profile.
Keep your certificates in one folder, physical and digital. At a job mela you need the originals and a few photocopies; for an online application you need clear scans. A candidate who can produce a certificate at once looks prepared, and employers notice that. If a certificate is lost, get a duplicate from your school or college before the next mela, not after.
