Based on the official notification for the RITES Apprentice Recruitment 2025, there is NO formal syllabus because the selection is merit-based only.

There will be NO written test and NO interview for the apprenticeship positions.

🛑 RITES Apprentice Selection Process (The "Syllabus")

The only thing that determines your selection is the marks you have already secured in your essential qualification.

Selection Method	Basis of Evaluation
NO Written Exam	Merit List based on the percentage of marks obtained in the Essential Qualification (Degree, Diploma, or ITI) of the respective trade/discipline.
NO Interview	Document Verification and Medical Examination for shortlisted candidates.

Key Points to Note:

Merit is Final: The merit list is drawn up strictly based on the aggregate percentage of marks in your qualifying exam (B.E./B.Tech, B.Com, Diploma, ITI, etc.).
Tie-Breaker: If two candidates have the same percentage of marks, the candidate who is older in age will be placed higher on the merit list.

In short, your past academic performance is the syllabus for this particular recruitment. Your focus should be on ensuring your application is correctly filled and your documents are perfectly prepared for the merit calculation.

📝 Document Checklist for Merit Verification
