So the age figures are what IMU prefers, not a hard cut-off written into the notice. The notice gives no age relaxation for any category and no date on which age is counted, though the application forms say age as on October 2026.
Who Should Apply
- All seven posts are contract or visiting jobs, not regular posts. The notice gives no contract length and no allowances, so think about that before you leave a permanent job.
- The two faculty posts are only for people who already hold a Master (Foreign Going) or MEO Class I licence and have sailed at management level for 6 months. Without that licence, these posts are not for you.
- Petty Officers from the Indian Navy or Coast Guard (marine engineering or electrical branch) can apply for the Workshop Instructor and Lab Assistant posts.
- The interview is in person, and the notice says no travel or daily allowance is paid, so count your own travel cost.
- Each post has its own form (Annexures 1 to 7). The Paramedic, Workshop Instructor, Lab Assistant and Gym Instructor forms ask for your Aadhaar and PAN numbers, and the two faculty forms ask for your sailing and shore days.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Email your papers | Send a detailed CV, the signed bio-data in IMU-MPC format and relevant documents to recruitment.mumbaiport@imu.ac.in by 18:00 hrs on 30.11.2026. |
| Step 2: Physical interview | The only selection method named in the notice. IMU will tell candidates the interview date by email. No TA/DA (travel and daily allowance) is paid for the interview. |
In short, there is no written test or merit list in the notice. You are chosen on how you do in an in-person interview, and the notice gives no marks, no weightage and no shortlist ratio.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Write the post name in the email subject line. The notice asks for it.
- Send the signed bio-data in IMU-MPC format along with your CV. The notice makes it compulsory, so a CV alone is incomplete.
- Use the form for your own post. Annexure 1 is Faculty (Nautical Science), 2 is Faculty (Marine Engineering), 3 is Paramedic, 4 is Workshop Instructor (Marine), 5 is Workshop Instructor (Electrical), 6 is Lab Assistant and 7 is Gym Instructor.
- Do not go by the 31.07.2026 date in the Hindi text. Send your email before 18:00 hrs on 30.11.2026.
- Put your present address and expected salary in the CV. The notice lists both.
- Do not plan on travel money. No TA/DA is paid for the interview.
