Minimum Stipend for Graduate Engineers
According to our knowledge, the Apprentice Act states that the minimum stipend to be paid is Rs. 3500 for graduate engineers. If the company wishes to pay more, it is their choice. If you appoint a Graduate Engineer Trainee for less than Rs. 3500, you will be doing so at your own risk.
Hope this helps.

Recruitment and Stipend Guidelines for Apprentices
If you are recruiting with the approval of the apprentice advisor, then you need to pay a minimum of what he specifies. However, if you are recruiting directly, the stipend must be higher than the minimum wages.
You can have the stipend provided at a lower rate in the standing orders and define them specifically as apprentices under standing orders. However, in case of a complaint, you will face a tough and expensive fight. Is it worth doing that for saving ₹1500-2000 per month?
And yes, I hope you are within the limits of the number of apprentices approved for your company by the apprentice advisor.

Hi Manoj, it is better to enroll your organization under the Apprentices Act with the Regional Apprentice Board of your area. The rates mentioned by DWITS are applicable to apprentices. B.Tech graduates can be engaged as graduate apprentices.
Benefits of Enrolling Under the Apprentices Act
An important part of this statute is that 50% of the stipend paid is reimbursed by the Apprentice Board, which is under the control of the Central Government. The period of apprenticeship is 1 year. Furthermore, such engaged persons will not be treated as employees, and your company will be protected from liabilities under labor laws.
All the best.
