🎂 Not sure if you meet the age criteria? Use our free Age Calculator for Government Exams to find your exact age on the cut-off date and instantly check your eligibility — including SC / ST / OBC / PwBD age relaxation. →
Read this line twice, because it costs people their application every year: no age relaxation is allowed to SC, ST or OBC candidates who apply against an Unreserved vacancy. PwBD relaxation applies only where PwBD reservation is admissible and only for candidates with at least 40% disability. Age, experience and educational qualification are all computed as on the closing date, 24 August 2026.
What is the Salary for SPMCIL Assistant Manager & Deputy Manager 2026?
The advertisement states the pay in IDA (Industrial Dearness Allowance) scales, and these are the exact figures printed in it.
- Deputy Manager (IT), Level E-2: ₹50,000 – ₹1,60,000
- All Assistant Manager posts, Level E-1: ₹40,000 – ₹1,40,000
Entry-level executives in SPMCIL start on the E-1 scale of ₹40,000 – ₹1,40,000, while the single Deputy Manager (IT) post carries the higher E-2 scale of ₹50,000 – ₹1,60,000.
The notice does not print a CTA figure, basic pay or a breakdown of allowances, so we are not going to estimate one. What it does state clearly is the bond condition, and you should factor this into your decision: new recruits at E-1 and E-2 level are liable to execute a bond of ₹3,00,000 to serve the company for a minimum period of three years. On the plus side, outstation candidates from outside Delhi-NCR who are shortlisted for document verification followed by interview get to-and-fro train fare reimbursed by 3-tier AC class. No travel reimbursement is given for the online test.
What is the Selection Process for SPMCIL Recruitment 2026?
Selection is a two-part scoring system — the online test carries 75% weightage and the interview carries 25%. The stages run in this order.
- Online objective examination at one of the five exam centres.
- Shortlisting for interview in order of merit within each category, in the ratio of 1:4.
- Document verification against original documents, done only after you qualify in the online exam.
- Personal interview, carrying 25% weightage.
- Final merit panel prepared from the online test and interview scores together.
Online Exam Pattern
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Knowledge | 60 | 90 |
| General Awareness | 15 | 15 |
| English Language | 15 | 15 |
| Logical Reasoning | 15 | 15 |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 15 | 15 |
| Total | 120 | 150 |
The composite time is 120 minutes, and you should plan to be at the venue for about three hours including formalities. The paper is in Hindi and English except the English Language section, and for Assistant Manager (OL) the Professional Knowledge section comes in Hindi and/or English as applicable per question. One-fourth of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for every wrong answer, so leave a question rather than guess blindly.
Minimum Qualifying Marks
| Category | To Be Called for Interview | For the Final Panel |
|---|---|---|
| UR / EWS | 45% | 55% |
| OBC | 40% | 50% |
| SC / ST | 35% | 45% |
Exam centres are Delhi & NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bhopal, though SPMCIL may cancel or add a centre and may allot you a centre other than the one you opted for. If the exam runs in more than one session, scores across sessions are equated to adjust for difficulty. Since Professional Knowledge alone carries 90 of the 150 marks, your own subject is where the exam is won — build your plan around it and use our exam pattern and syllabus resources for the general sections.
