How Wireman Licensing Works in Maharashtra
The Maharashtra rules provide an examination route for Wiremen and also specify exemption provisions for candidates
holding certain recognised qualifications and experience. The examination is intended for candidates domiciled in Maharashtra.
For the Wireman examination, the rules include a route based on one year of wiring and electrical-installation experience
under the direct supervision of a competency-certificate holder or qualified Electrical Engineer. Alternative routes include
prescribed apprenticeship or motor-winding training followed by practical experience and the applicable examination requirements.
Candidates with a National Trade Certificate in the Electrician or Wireman trade from NCVT or an equivalent qualification,
or the specified Maharashtra 12th Standard qualification route, may be eligible for exemption from the Wireman examination
subject to the prescribed conditions.
Candidates who pass the examination are issued the prescribed Wiremen’s Certificate and Permit. Candidates exempted from the
examination are issued the certificate and permit through the applicable Electrical Inspector jurisdiction.
