About the recruitment
Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) Limited is a Special Purpose Vehicle jointly owned by the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat in a 50:50 ratio. It is responsible for implementing and operating the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project and the Surat Metro Rail Project.
GMRC has opened applications for 4 engineering vacancies on a Contract, Deputation, or Post-superannuation basis. The tenure is for a minimum of 3 years and may be extended up to 5 years based on performance. The number of posts may vary depending on further assessment of requirements.
Eligibility
All candidates must hold a B.E./B.Tech degree from a government-recognised university or institute and must not exceed 32 years of age as on 14 November 2026. The age limit does not apply to existing GMRCL employees, though it is not relaxed for officials re-employed after superannuation.
For the two Section Engineer posts, candidates need a minimum of 5 years of post-qualification relevant experience — in Rolling Stock or M&P maintenance for the Rolling Stock post, and in maintenance of civil structures such as viaducts, tunnels, metro stations, depots, or ballasted and ballastless track for the Track post. Candidates from the IDA or CDA pay scale must meet the prescribed scale conditions; those from the private sector must be drawing a monthly CTC of approximately ₹45,000.
For Engineer – Sr. Grade (Rolling Stock), a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in planning, technical specification, contract administration, installation, testing, commissioning, statutory approvals, or maintenance of Rolling Stock systems in railways, metros, or other organisations is required. Candidates with experience in modern urban metro rail systems will be given preference. Preference is also given to candidates who have worked in Gujarat State for at least 3 years and are conversant with Gujarati.
Selection process
Selection involves a Personal Interview, followed by Document Verification and a Medical Examination as per the category prescribed for the post. The interview assesses knowledge, skills, experience, expertise, aptitude, and physical fitness.
Shortlisted candidates will receive a call letter with the interview date, time, and venue by registered email. Candidates must carry original certificates for verification at the time of interview; those without original documents will not be permitted to attend. Requests for change of date or venue will not be entertained.
Deputation and government or PSU candidates must submit a No Objection Certificate along with their last 5 years' Annual Performance Appraisal Reports on or before the interview date. Possession of prescribed qualifications and experience does not guarantee a call for interview or a right to selection.
