MCC Underground Drainage Helper Recruitment 2026: Only Outsourced Helpers Can Apply
Mangaluru City Corporation (Mangaluru Mahanagara Palike) has released a notification to fill 45 Underground Drainage Helper (Olacharandi Sahayakaru) posts, a Group D job with a pay scale of ₹27,000 – ₹46,675. Please read this first: this is not an open recruitment. It is a regularisation drive for helpers who already work for the Corporation on an outsourced basis.
If you are a fresher, this job is not meant for you. But if you are a current outsourced drainage helper in Mangaluru with at least 2 years of service, this can make your job permanent. The form must reach the Corporation by 28 October 2026, 5:00 PM. Read every condition below carefully, check the dates twice, and keep visiting GovtJobsAlert.in for more Karnataka government jobs.
Key Highlights: Mangaluru City Corporation Recruitment 2026
The notification comes from the Commissioner of Mangaluru Mahanagara Palike, who is also the Chairman of the Selection and Direct Recruitment Authority. It follows a Directorate of Municipal Administration order: out of the posts allotted to the Municipal Corporations of Karnataka, 45 went to Mangaluru. Group D appointments are made by the Corporation’s own Commissioner.

Why does this matter? Many outsourced workers do the same drainage work for years without job security. A regularisation drive like this turns that service into a regular Group D post.

- The Chairman can postpone or cancel the process, relax or add conditions, or change the number of posts, at any stage before appointment orders, without giving a reason.
