Work Experience
A full-time job on regular salary, in the field named for the post. The years needed run from 1 to 16 depending on the post.
Experience that counts
Trainee period as Management, Executive or Graduate Trainee in a PSU, and apprenticeship under the Apprenticeship Act.
Experience that does not count
Freelance work, running your own business, articleship, internship, academic projects, teaching and research.
Apply through your employer (“proper channel”) or bring a No Objection Certificate (NOC, a letter from your employer allowing you to apply) to the interview. Without one you will not be interviewed or paid travel costs.

SC / ST / OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates applying against an unreserved (UR) post
No relaxation in age or fee
So if you are 52 and belong to OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), your limit is 53 and you can still apply. A 52-year-old general-category candidate with no disability is over the limit.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth, the 25.09.2026 cut-off date and your category relaxation to see whether you fall inside the 50-year limit.
Fill in and submit the form between 03.10.2026 and 17.10.2026. Pay the fee if it applies to you.
2. Shortlisting
MECON picks the candidates to call. The list, with date, time and venue, goes on the MECON website and is emailed to each of them.
3. Personal interview
This is the only test. Your documents are checked when you report. If a claim in your form cannot be backed up, you will not be allowed to sit the interview and no travel cost is paid. The notification adds that MECON may change the selection mode if it needs to.
4. Final list
The list of selected candidates is put on the website and emailed.
5. Document check and medical exam
Selected candidates are called for both. Joining depends on being found medically fit.
6. Offer
The first offer is for 1 year. Where the post runs longer, it is renewed each year based on your work and MECON’s needs.
In short: there is no written test. Your form, your experience papers and the interview decide everything. A missing experience certificate is the easiest way to get rejected, so keep each one ready.
