How Many Vacancies are There in EIL Recruitment 2026? Position-Wise Vacancy List
The reservation split differs for every position, so here is one row per position. Match your category against the exact code you want to apply for.

Two rows need attention. Manager (Electrical), code S, has no Unreserved seat at all — its four seats are SC 1, ST 1 and OBC 2. Sr. Manager (DTS), code U, is a single OBC seat. If your category is not listed against a code, there is no seat for you there. Codes I1 and I2, J1 and J2, R1 and R2, U1 and U2 are paired: each pair shares one vacancy between a BE / B.Tech route and an MCA route. All figures are tentative, and reservation for Persons with Disabilities follows GOI guidelines.
What is the Eligibility for EIL Engineer / Manager Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification for EIL Recruitment 2026 — Engineering and MCA Disciplines
You need a BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.) — or MCA for the computer-stream codes — in the discipline shown below, with minimum 65% marks. More openings like this sit on our engineering government jobs page.
| Position Codes | Discipline Required (minimum 65% marks) |
|---|---|
| A, M | Civil Engineering |
| B, E, F, G, H, N | Mechanical Engineering |
| C | Mechanical Engineering, as printed in the advertisement |
| D | Chemical, Civil, Environment or Industrial Pollution Abatement Engineering |
| K, Q, V | Chemical Engineering |
| L | Instrumentation and Control, or Instrumentation and Electronics |
| O | Electrical Engineering |
| S | Electrical Engineering (BE / B.Tech only) |
| P | Chemical, Mechanical or Power Plant Engineering |
| T | Metallurgy, Mineral Processing, Mineral and Metallurgy, Metallurgy and Materials, or Chemical (BE / B.Tech only) |
| I1 / I2 | Computer Science, AI, Data Science or Information Technology (I1 = BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.), I2 = MCA) |
| J1 / J2 | Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Information Technology (J1 = BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.), J2 = MCA) |
| R1 / R2, U1 / U2 | Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, Data Science or Information Technology (R1 / U1 = BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.), R2 / U2 = MCA) |
⚠️ Check code C against the official advertisement before you apply. That position is titled Dy. Manager (Civil-Structural) and its work description is civil infrastructure work, but the printed qualification column for the code reads BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.) in Mechanical Engineering. We reproduce exactly what the notification prints. Read that row in the PDF and confirm with EIL before locking your choice.
A post-graduate engineering degree relevant to the post earns one year of relaxation in experience and a Ph.D earns four years, where the minimum requirement is BE / B.Tech / B.Sc (Engg.). If your institute awards CGPA, convert it by your university’s norms and carry that certificate to the interview; 65% equals 7.0 on a 10-point scale, and your percentage must be filled to two decimal places without rounding. Each code also lists a preferred experience profile — software such as STAAD.Pro, CAESAR-II or PV Elite, or sector exposure like nuclear or LNG. These are desirable, not mandatory, but they shape the shortlist.
Age Limit and Minimum Experience — EIL Recruitment 2026
Upper age and minimum experience depend on the grade, both counted as on 31 August 2026. The notification prescribes only an upper age limit; it states no minimum age.

What is the Selection Process for EIL Recruitment 2026? Interview Only

The mode of selection is Interview — the single stage this advertisement prescribes. Meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not by itself give you a right to be called: EIL may cut the number called by raising the qualifying percentage and weighing your experience. Only shortlisted candidates are informed, by email, so give an address that stays active for at least 24 months — EIL is not responsible for any communication letter lost through an invalid or wrong email id or postal delay. Outstation candidates called for interview get rail fare as per the grade applied for. Software and data roles sit on our computer and IT government jobs page.
