CONCOR Recruitment 2026: 77 Management Trainee and Assistant Officer Posts Open Now
Container Corporation of India Limited, better known as CONCOR, is hiring for 77 posts across twelve post codes in its Executive and Supervisory cadres. CONCOR is a Navratna CPSE under the Ministry of Railways, so this is a central government-owned company job on an IDA pay scale, with a CTC of about ₹20.11 lakh a year for a Management Trainee. If you have been waiting for a strong opening among PSU recruitment notifications, this one is worth your month.
Online registration runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 September 2026, and the notification carries the full conditions — qualification, experience, minimum-marks bars, fee, age relaxation and the scheme of examination. Read the row for your own post code before you pay, because the marks bar and the experience rule change from one post code to the next. We at GovtJobsAlert.in set out each of those conditions below in plain language.

CONCOR runs the country’s container train and inland terminal network under the Ministry of Railways, so if you follow railway sector jobs, treat this as the same ecosystem on a corporate pay scale. Selected candidates are liable to be posted at any office, terminal or unit of the company, and transferred anywhere later.
How Many Vacancies in CONCOR Recruitment 2026?
Reservation differs by post code, so read your own row. The twelve post codes add up to 77 seats.
| Post (Code) | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Management Trainee, Commercial & Operations (MT/CO) | SC 4 / ST 3 / OBC-NCL 4 / EWS 2 / UR 12 | 25 |
| Management Trainee, Accounts and Accounts/Compliance (MT/FA, MT/FA/CS) | SC 1 / ST 1 (backlog) / OBC-NCL 3 / EWS 0 / UR 4 | 09 (see note) |
| Management Trainee, Technical (MT/TH) | SC 1 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 2 | 04 |
| Management Trainee, MIS (MT/MIS) | SC 1 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 (backlog) / EWS 0 / UR 1 | 03 |
| Management Trainee, Civil (MT/CE) | SC 0 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 1 | 02 |
| Management Trainee, Personnel & Administration (MT/P&A) | SC 0 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 0 / EWS 0 / UR 2 | 02 |
| Assistant Officer, Commercial & Operations (AO/CO) | SC 3 / ST 2 / OBC-NCL 5 / EWS 1 / UR 9 | 20 |
| Assistant Officer, Accounts (AO/FA) | SC 0 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 1 | 02 |
| Assistant Officer, Technical (AO/TH) | SC 1 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 2 | 04 |
| Assistant Officer, MIS (AO/MIS) | SC 0 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 1 | 02 |
| Assistant Officer, Civil (AO/CE) | SC 1 / ST 0 / OBC-NCL 1 / EWS 0 / UR 2 | 04 |
| All post codes together | SC 12 / ST 6 / OBC-NCL 19 / EWS 3 / UR 37 | 77 |
The note against the Accounts row is that its 09 includes one post for Management Trainee (Accounts)/Compliance, which asks for a Company Secretary rather than a Chartered Accountant; the category split is not divided between the two post codes, so treat 09 as one pool. The two backlog seats — ST 01 in the Accounts row, OBC-NCL 01 under MT/MIS — sit inside their own row totals. Horizontal reservation is 2 PwBD seats in MT/CO, and 2 PwBD plus 2 ESM seats in AO/CO, counted inside the 77 rather than added to it.
If your category shows 0 in the post code you want, that seat does not exist this cycle, whatever your marks are.
What is the Eligibility and Qualification for CONCOR Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post Code | Qualification and Minimum Marks |
|---|---|
| MT/CO | Graduate with 55% marks, plus a two-year MBA or equivalent PG degree or diploma with 60% marks specialising in Marketing, International Business, Operations, Logistics or Supply Chain Management |
| MT/FA | Graduate with 55% marks and a qualified Chartered Accountant |
| MT/FA/CS | Graduate with 55% marks and a qualified Company Secretary |
| MT/TH | Bachelor’s degree in Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical or Electronics with 60% marks |
| MT/MIS | B.Tech or BE in Computer Engineering or Computer Science, MCA, M.Sc (IT), M.Sc (Computer Science) or DOEACC B Level, with 60% marks |
| MT/CE | Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with 60% marks in aggregate |
| MT/P&A | Graduate with 55% marks, plus a two-year MBA or MSW or equivalent PG degree or diploma with 60% marks specialising in HRM, Personnel Management or Industrial Relations |
| AO/CO | Graduate with 50% marks |
| AO/FA | B.Com with 50% marks |
| AO/TH | Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Electronics with 50% marks |
| AO/MIS | Graduate with PGDCA, BCA, B.Sc (Hons) in Computer Science or DOEACC ‘A’ Level, with 50% marks |
| AO/CE | Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Civil Engineering with 50% marks in aggregate |
Every qualification must come from an institute approved by the Government or recognised by AICTE or UGC, and eligibility is reckoned as on 31 August 2026. One condition catches people out: no relaxation in the minimum percentage of marks is given to any category. SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwBD and ex-servicemen clear the same bar, because relaxation here is for age only. Four post codes are open solely to engineering candidates.
Experience Required
| Post Code | Experience |
|---|---|
| All seven MT post codes | No experience prescribed |
| AO/CO | 4 years, or 2 years with an Institute of Rail Transport diploma in multimodal transport or another course of at least one year in shipping, logistics or trade |
| AO/FA | 4 years, or 2 years for candidates qualified in CA (Inter) or CMA (Inter) |
| AO/TH | 3 years with a diploma, or 1 year with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil or Electronics with 50% marks |
| AO/MIS | 3 years in IT support or software applications in a reputed company, or 1 year with MCA, B.Tech or BE in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, M.Sc (IT), M.Sc (Computer Science) or DOEACC B Level with 50% marks |
| AO/CE | 1 year with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, or 3 years with a diploma in Civil Engineering |
Experience must be in one of the areas listed in the job specification for that post code, so unrelated work will not count. Ex-servicemen are exempt — no experience is required of them on any post.
CONCOR 2026 Age Limit
| Cadre or Category | Age as on 31 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Management Trainee, all post codes (UR) | 18 – 28 years |
| Assistant Officer, all post codes (UR) | 18 – 32 years |
| SC / ST | 5 years relaxation |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 years relaxation |
| PwBD | 10 years relaxation |
| Ex-servicemen | 3 years plus period of service |

| Ceiling for everyone | 50 years including all relaxations |

The cut-off is 31 August 2026, the day registration opens, so work out your age on that date and not on the day you submit. The PwBD age concession applies whether or not the post code is reserved for PwBD.
What is the Salary for CONCOR MT and Assistant Officer 2026?
| Post | IDA Pay Scale (per month) | Approx. CTC |
|---|---|---|
| Management Trainee | ₹50,000 – 3% – ₹1,60,000 | ₹20.11 lakh per year |
| Assistant Officer | ₹40,000 – 3% – ₹1,36,000 | ₹16.09 lakh per year |
These are IDA scales: the 3% is the annual increment on basic pay, and the second figure is the ceiling, not a starting salary.
Management Trainees have one more condition attached to that pay, and it is the line MT applicants must read twice. You train for one year, execute a service agreement-cum-bond of ₹2 lakh plus 12% interest per year, and serve CONCOR for a minimum of three years excluding the training period. Complete the training and you are absorbed as Assistant Manager in the E1 grade. The notification prescribes this bond and training only for MT posts.
What is the Selection Process for CONCOR Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Who it applies to |
|---|---|
| Computer Based Test (CBT) | All twelve post codes |
| Group Discussion and/or Interview | Management Trainee post codes only, as decided by CONCOR |
| Document verification | All post codes |
| Verification of originals, police verification, reference checks | All post codes |
| Medical fitness test | All post codes |
Selection differs by cadre, and this is the difference most candidates miss. Assistant Officer selection is purely on CBT performance — there is no GD or interview stage for AO post codes. For MT posts, whether CONCOR holds a group discussion, an interview or both is its own decision and it is final. No stage-wise weightage is published.
CONCOR 2026 Exam Pattern and Syllabus
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Knowledge | 50 | 50 |
| English Language | 10 | 10 |
| Reasoning | 10 | 10 |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 15 | 15 |
| General Knowledge | 15 | 15 |
| Full paper | 100 | 100 |
The CBT runs 90 minutes, or 120 minutes for eligible PwBD candidates using a scribe. Each question carries five answer choices and one-fourth of a mark (0.25) is deducted for every wrong answer, so blind guessing costs you. The paper is set in English and Hindi only, and where the versions differ the English one prevails. MT and AO sit the CBT on the same day in two shifts.
The notification does not print a syllabus. CONCOR directs candidates to the HR & Career section of its own website for it, so watch that page rather than a list circulating on social media. Until then our syllabus guides are a reasonable base, since professional knowledge carries half the paper.
How to Apply Online for CONCOR Recruitment 2026?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the CONCOR recruitment portal under HR & Career — link in Essential Links |
| 2 | Register with an email ID and mobile number you will still use next year |
| 3 | Fill the form for your post code and upload the documents asked for |
| 4 | Choose three test cities in order of preference |
| 5 | Pay the fee online if you are not exempt, then submit and save the confirmation |
Applying for more than one post code means a separate form and fee for each, at your own risk, since two can clash on schedule or city. Keep your category certificate and a No Objection Certificate ready if you serve in government or a PSU — without them your candidature is liable to be cancelled.

What Can Cancel Your CONCOR 2026 Candidature?
These are the lines candidates skip, and each one can end your candidature.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| No Objection Certificate | If you are in regular government, PSU or autonomous body service and cannot produce an NOC at document verification, your candidature is liable to be cancelled |
| Unsupported claims | If a claim in your application is not substantiated by certificates at scrutiny, the candidature will be cancelled |
| False information | Wrong or false information, or deliberate suppression at any stage, will render you disqualified, and your services are liable to be terminated even after appointment |
| Identity mismatch | If your identity is in doubt or the documents do not match, you will not be allowed to appear for document verification |
| Incomplete application | Applications without the prescribed fee, documents and information are liable to be rejected |
| Canvassing | Canvassing in any form will disqualify you |
| Higher qualification | A higher qualification without the prescribed minimum one will not make you eligible |
| CGPA marksheets | A Cumulative Grade Point Average should not be lower than 7 on the 10-point scale, or an equivalent percentage not below the bar for your post code |
| Dual specialisation | Where your management degree shows two specialisations, one of them must be the function advertised for that post code |
| Final-year MT applicants | Allowed to apply provisionally, but must produce the final marksheet or degree at document verification |
| OBC-NCL certificate | Must not be older than one year at document verification to get the OBC-NCL reservation benefit |
| OBC creamy layer | Not entitled to the concession admissible to OBC-NCL candidates, and must indicate the category as General |
| EWS certificate | The Income and Asset Certificate issued by the competent authority must not be older than one year at document verification |
| PwBD certificate | Disability below 40% does not qualify for PwBD reservation or relaxation |
| Ex-servicemen already employed | An ESM in regular government or CPSE service keeps the age relaxation but is not eligible for the ex-servicemen reservation benefit |
| Test city preference | The three cities you choose cannot be changed once the form is submitted |
| Fee refunds | The fee is non-refundable and is never adjusted against any future CONCOR recruitment, so verify your eligibility before you pay |
| Being called | Meeting the eligibility conditions does not entitle you to be called for the online test, GD or interview, and no correspondence is entertained about non-calling or non-selection |
| Travel cost | No travelling expenses are paid for the online test or the group discussion; only interview candidates get TA as per CONCOR rules |
| Number of posts | CONCOR may increase or decrease the number of posts, and may cancel the recruitment at any point without notice |
| Provisional candidature | CONCOR does not scrutinise eligibility while you fill the form or at the CBT, so your candidature is accepted only provisionally — satisfy yourself that you are eligible |
| Certificates in other languages | An SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PwBD or EWS certificate issued in a language other than English or Hindi must be submitted with a notarised translated copy |
