Who Should Apply
This is a deputation, not an open recruitment. You are posted to CVC for a fixed time, ordinarily up to 3 years (4 years for Junior Technical Examiner).
You do not have to work for the Central Government. Engineers in State Government and Union Territory offices can apply too, if their post is equal to Assistant Engineer or Junior Engineer.
The Junior Technical Examiner post needs 3 years of regular service as a Junior Engineer. The notice sets no service-year condition for the two Assistant Technical Examiner posts.
The Horticulture post is only for Assistant Engineers (Horticulture) of the Engineering Department, or an equal post in a State or Union Territory office.
Your office must be ready to relieve you at once if you are selected. The notice asks only for applications from people who can be relieved immediately.
Who should skip this:
You work in a private company, not in government service. The notice is for government officers only.
A disciplinary or vigilance case is pending, or being planned, against you. The forwarding office has to certify that there is none.
Fill Annexure-I and send it through your own department (the “proper channel”) so that it reaches CVC by 30.11.2026
2. Appointment on deputation
CVC appoints on deputation under the DoPT memorandum named above. The notice does not name any written test, interview or merit list.
In short: there is no exam in this notice. You apply through your department, and the notice does not say how CVC picks between applicants.
