✅

Your field should be specified in the ModelForm class, so:

class TraineeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    GENDER_CHOICES = [('M', 'Male'), ('F', 'Female'), ('O', 'Other')]
    Gender = forms.ChoiceField(
        widget=forms.RadioSelect, choices=GENDER_CHOICES
    )

    class Meta:
        model = Trainee
        fields = '__all__'

It however makes more sense to specify the options:

class Trainee(models.Model):
    GENDER_CHOICES = [('M', 'Male'), ('F', 'Female'), ('O', 'Other')]
    trainee_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    course = models.CharField(max_length=40)
    batch_no = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
    date_of_birth = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    contact_no = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    contact_address = models.CharField(max_length=80)
    email_address = models.EmailField()

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'Trainee'

and then specify the widget in the form:

class TraineeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Trainee
        widgets = {'gender': forms.RadioSelect}
        fields = '__all__'
