DPCC Environmental Engineer Recruitment 2026: 17 Group A Vacancies in Delhi Pollution Control Committee
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee has invited applications for 17 Group A engineering vacancies on a regular basis. Three posts are on offer — Senior Environmental Engineer, Environmental Engineer and Assistant Environmental Engineer — at Level 12, Level 11 and Level 10 of the 7th CPC pay matrix. For an engineer in pollution control, environment or public health engineering, this is one of the better Delhi government jobs this year, because these are regular appointments and not contract ones.
Settle one thing first. This recruitment is on paper only: you download the prescribed form, fill it, attach your documents and send the envelope by Registered Post, Speed Post or by hand. There is no online portal. Your envelope must reach the DPCC office within 21 days of the advertisement appearing in Employment News, which works out to 14 September 2026. This guide from GovtJobsAlert.in covers the vacancies, the category bar on one post, eligibility, the marks system and how to send your form.

What are the Post-Wise Vacancy Details for DPCC Recruitment 2026?
Reservation is not the same for every post, so read the row for the post you want instead of the total. SC, ST and EWS candidates have no reserved seat anywhere in this advertisement.
| Post | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Environmental Engineer | UR 3 / OBC (NCL) Delhi 1 / SC 0 / ST 0 / EWS 0 | 4 |
| Environmental Engineer | UR 1 / OBC (NCL) Delhi 1 / SC 0 / ST 0 / EWS 0 | 2 |
| Assistant Environmental Engineer | UR 0 / OBC (NCL) Delhi 9 / PwBD 2 / SC 0 / ST 0 / EWS 0 | 11 |
Who Can Apply for the DPCC AEE (Assistant Environmental Engineer) Post 2026?
Read this before you spend anything on a Speed Post envelope. All 11 Assistant Environmental Engineer seats are exclusively reserved — nine for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) Delhi and two for PwBD, with UR 0. The notification states plainly that applications for this post from candidates other than the said categories will not be entertained, so a General, SC, ST or EWS candidate cannot be considered here whatever their marks or experience.
The OBC condition is narrower than it first looks, and this is where people lose their claim.
| Your situation | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| OBC (Delhi) notified by GNCTD | You get the benefit of OBC reservation and age relaxation |
| OBC from outside Delhi | Treated as Unreserved and you must apply under the UR category |
| OBC in the Creamy Layer | Not entitled to OBC reservation or age relaxation |
| Valid OBC certificate — type 1 | Issued by the Revenue Department of GNCT of Delhi, on the basis of an old certificate held by a family member |
| Valid OBC certificate — type 2 | Issued outside Delhi for a community notified as OBC by GNCTD, resting on a Delhi certificate issued to a family member residing in Delhi before 08/09/1993 |
| OBC paperwork | A latest valid Non-Creamy Layer certificate, dated on or before the cut-off, must accompany the caste certificate |
| PwBD CAT (a) | Deaf and Hard of Hearing |
| PwBD CAT (b) | Locomotor Disability (OL, BL, OA) including Leprosy Cured, Dwarfism, Acid Attack Victims and Muscular Dystrophy |
What is the Eligibility for DPCC Environmental Engineer Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification for DPCC Environmental Engineer Posts 2026
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Senior Environmental Engineer | Master’s degree in Engineering in a related field, with ten years’ experience in pollution control or a related field gained after the Master’s |
| Environmental Engineer | Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with eight years’ experience after the degree, or Master’s degree in Engineering with six years’ experience after it |
| Assistant Environmental Engineer | Degree in Engineering with two years’ experience in pollution control or a related field, or a Master’s degree in Engineering, on which route the notification stipulates no experience |
| Related field (all posts) | Civil, Environmental, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, ECE, Biomedical Engineering, Water Resources, Remote Sensing, GIS and Hydrology, or an equivalent qualification |
| Condition on the degree | Regular and full time, from a University or Institution recognised by the appropriate Statutory Authority, held on the closing date |
That second route to Assistant Environmental Engineer matters if you are a fresh post-graduate — a Master’s in Engineering gets you in without the two years the degree route demands. Read your own post’s row twice before ruling yourself out on experience.
DPCC Recruitment 2026 Age Limit — SEE, EE and AEE
| Post | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Senior Environmental Engineer | 50 years |
| Environmental Engineer | 40 years |
| Assistant Environmental Engineer | 35 years |

The crucial date for age is the closing date, so work out your age on 14 September 2026. No minimum age is stated. The upper limit is relaxable for SC, ST and OBC candidates and other special categories as per GNCTD and Government of India rules — but the OBC benefit reaches only OBC (Delhi) candidates notified by GNCTD. One trap: the form asks for age as on the date of publication while the conditions say the closing date. The conditions govern, so keep both calculations ready if you are close to the line.
What is the Salary for DPCC Environmental Engineer Posts 2026?
| Post | Pay Level | Pay as printed in the notification |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Environmental Engineer | Level 12 | Pre-revised PB-3 ₹15,600–₹39,100 plus Grade Pay ₹7,600; Level 12 is defined as ₹78,800 to ₹2,09,200 |

| Assistant Environmental Engineer | Level 10 | The pay band cell is left blank; Level 10 is defined as ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500 |
The notification prints no matrix range against each post — those Level figures come from its own experience-weightage table, where the same levels are spelled out. All three are Group A regular posts carrying the allowances GNCTD pays its regular staff.
What is the Selection Process for DPCC Recruitment 2026? (85 Marks Weightage + 15 Marks Interview)
Shortlisting and selection run on a 100-mark weightage system that rewards paperwork far more than last-minute study, so read the table before you decide whether you are competitive.
| Weightage Criteria | Max Marks | How the marks are awarded |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of marks in the minimum qualification prescribed in the RRs | 10 | 0.25 marks for each whole percent above 60%; 60% or below scores nothing |
| Higher or additional qualification over and above the RRs | 10 | Ph.D 10; Master’s 5, when a Master’s is not itself the minimum eligibility |
| Relevant experience in environment, pollution control or public health engineering | 25 | Per year of experience, on the scales below |
| Selection in a UPSC exam for technical or engineering roles at Level 10 or above | 20 | Covers exams such as ESE and technical recruitment for the Indian Army |
| Valid qualified GATE | 20 | AIR under 250 = 20, under 500 = 16, under 750 = 12, under 1000 = 8, under 1250 = 4 |
| Interview | 15 | Assessment by the Selection Committee |
| Maximum Marks | 100 | — |
Experience marks depend on the pay level you held while gaining that experience, and time served inside a pollution control body pays more.
| Post and Experience Category | Marks per Year (outside a PCB) | Marks per Year (CPCB, SPCB or PCC) |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Environmental Engineer — Category A | 2.0 | 2.5 |
| Senior Environmental Engineer — Category B | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Senior Environmental Engineer — Category C | 1.0 | 1.5 |
| Environmental Engineer — Category B | 2.0 | 2.5 |
| Environmental Engineer — Category C | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Environmental Engineer — Category D | 1.0 | 1.5 |
| Assistant Environmental Engineer — Category C | 2.0 | 2.5 |
| Assistant Environmental Engineer — Category D | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Experience Category | What you must have been drawing |
|---|---|
| A | Level 12 (₹78,800–₹2,09,200 CDA) or above, or IDA ₹90,000–₹2,40,000 (E-6) or above, or CTC of ₹30 lakh in a registered company |
| B | Level 11 (₹67,700–₹2,08,700 CDA) or above, or IDA ₹70,000–₹2,00,000 (E-4) or above, or CTC of ₹25 lakh |
| C | Level 10 (₹56,100–₹1,77,500 CDA) or above, or IDA ₹60,000–₹1,80,000 (E-3) or above, or CTC of ₹20 lakh |
| D | Level 6 (₹35,400–₹1,12,400 CDA) or above, or IDA ₹30,000–₹1,20,000 (E-0) or above, or CTC of ₹15 lakh |
All 100 marks are settled on paper and in one interview room. 85 of them come from the weightage criteria above — qualification percentage, higher qualification, relevant experience, UPSC selection and GATE rank — and the remaining 15 from the Selection Committee interview. That is the entire scheme the notification prescribes for shortlisting and selection, and it sets out no separate written paper alongside it. Read that with condition 22, which lets DPCC withdraw, cancel, restrict, enlarge, modify or alter the recruitment process at any stage without assigning a reason, so treat the weightage table as the position DPCC has prescribed today rather than a guarantee. Not every year of service counts either, and the exclusions are listed in the rejection table further down.
How to Apply for DPCC Environmental Engineer Recruitment 2026 Offline?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the prescribed application form from the DPCC website under the “What’s New” head (link in Essential Links below) |
| 2 | Fill the form completely, sign it and affix a recent passport-size photograph |
| 3 | Fill Annexure-1 with your qualification percentage, higher qualification, relevant experience and UPSC selection details |
| 4 | Attach self-attested copies of all supporting documents, including caste and Non-Creamy Layer certificates where they apply |
| 5 | Seal everything in an envelope super-scribed “Application for the Post of ___” |
| 6 | Send it by Registered Post, Speed Post or by hand to the Administrative Officer, DPCC, 3rd Floor, Block-I, DMRC IT Park Building, Shastri Park, Delhi-110053 |
| 7 | Make sure it physically reaches DPCC on or before 14 September 2026 |
| 8 | Applying for more than one post? Send a separate application form for each one |
Your experience certificates and marksheets are what decide your score. An application sent without the relevant supporting documents gets no weightage marks for that claim, which can quietly cost you most of the 85 marks awarded before the interview even begins.
What are the Important Dates for DPCC Recruitment 2026?
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Advertisement published in Employment News / Rozgar Samachar | 24 August 2026 |

The notification prints no calendar deadline of its own; the 14 September 2026 date is the 21-day clause counted from the 24 August 2026 publication. Post early rather than on the last two days, because DPCC is not responsible for delay or loss caused by the post office.
What is the Application Fee for DPCC Recruitment 2026?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| All categories | No fee prescribed |
No application fee is prescribed for this recruitment. Across all nine pages — advertisement, the twenty-two conditions, application form and Annexure-1 — the notification mentions no fee, no demand draft and no payment mode. Your only cost is postage.
