About LCI and the Khewra Plant

Lucky Core Industries was known as ICI Pakistan until 2022, when it took its current name. Its Khewra plant sits beside the Khewra salt range, and its history goes back to the 1940s. Rock salt and limestone from the area are key raw materials for soda ash, which is used in glass, detergents and other chemicals. For a student, that means you could train inside a real, long-running chemical plant, not a classroom lab. LCI has also advertised similar apprenticeship trades at Khewra in earlier years.

Eligibility Criteria

Education

You need one of these:

  • Matric with Science in First Division (in Pakistani boards, First Division generally means 60% or more)
  • FSc
  • DAE (Diploma of Associate Engineering) in Chemical technology

The ad adds that preference will be given to FSc and DAE Chemical candidates. So a Matric pass can apply, but FSc and DAE holders start ahead.

Age

The maximum age is 28 years, counted as of January 2027. Some examples:

  • Born 15 June 1998: you are 28 in January 2027, so you are within the limit.
  • Born 15 June 1997: you are 29, so you are over the limit.

The advertisement doesn’t say whether someone who is 28 and a few months old can apply. If you are close to the edge, confirm with LCI before you send your papers.

Stipend and What You Gain

The ad says apprentices will be paid a monthly stipend during the training period. It doesn’t give the amount or the length of the training, and we haven’t guessed either. Check these when you are contacted.

An apprenticeship under the 1962 Ordinance is a structured training arrangement, not an ordinary job. That means:

  • You learn on the job inside a working chemical plant.
  • You earn a stipend while you learn.
  • You build experience that makes your CV stronger for chemical, fertilizer, cement and power industry roles.

The ad does not promise a job at the end, so treat it as training with a valuable name behind it, and not as guaranteed employment.

How to Apply for LCI Apprenticeship 2026

This is not an online form. You send a written application with your documents to LCI’s address. Here is a simple way to do it:

  1. Write or type a short application. At the top, say you are applying for the Apprenticeship in the Chemical Trade.
  2. Give your full details: name, father’s name, date of birth, CNIC number, education with marks and division, domicile, address and a phone number.
  3. Attach photocopies of your certificates, your domicile and your CNIC.
  4. Attach a passport-size photograph.
  5. Put everything in an envelope addressed to: General Manager HR, Lucky Core Industries Limited, Soda Ash Business, Khewra, District Jhelum.
  6. Send it by a trackable courier or registered post. Make sure it reaches LCI by 16 November 2026, and keep the receipt.
Don’t wait for the last day. Postal delays are the biggest risk with this kind of application. The ad asks you to send it by 16 November 2026, so mail it early enough for it to arrive on time.

Documents to Attach

The ad asks for your complete details, including age, marks obtained, domicile, a passport-size photograph and a copy of your CNIC. Based on that, include:

  • CNIC copy
  • Domicile certificate copy
  • Matric, FSc or DAE certificate and result card copies, showing your marks and division
  • One passport-size photograph
  • Your date of birth proof, such as the Matric certificate

If the ad’s small print lists anything more, follow the ad.

Preparation Tips

The ad doesn’t describe a test or interview, so we can’t say how selection works. These tips are our advice and may help if LCI calls you.

  • Revise basic chemistry: acids and bases, common compounds, and the meaning of soda ash and salt.
  • Learn what LCI does and where the Khewra plant is.
  • Be ready to say why you want a chemical trade and how you will manage training in Khewra.
  • Take safety seriously. Chemical plants run on rules, and showing that you understand this helps.
  • Keep your original documents ready in case you are asked to show them.

Avoid Fake Offers

  • Send your application only to the address printed in the advertisement.
  • Never pay anyone for a seat or a selection.
  • Don’t share your CNIC or documents with strangers on WhatsApp or social media.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Posting too late. Late delivery can mean your application is not considered.
  • Leaving out marks or division. The ad asks for the marks you obtained.
  • Applying with the wrong subjects. Matric needs to be in Science with First Division.
  • Missing the photograph or CNIC copy. Both are asked for in the ad.
  • Wrong address. Write “General Manager HR” and the full Khewra address clearly.
  • Not keeping a copy. Keep a photocopy of your application and the courier receipt.
