DMRC is not hiring freshers this time. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation wants 73 experienced Supervisors, Engineers and Senior Engineers for its Jaipur Phase-II project and for Delhi. Only people who work in, or have retired from, a government, Railways, PSU or metro organisation can apply.
There are two ways to apply. On deputation, you work for DMRC for a fixed term and keep drawing your parent department’s pay, plus a deputation allowance. On PRCE (Post Retirement Contractual Engagement), a retired person joins DMRC on a one-year contract that can be extended. There is no online form. You send your application by Speed Post or email so that it reaches DMRC by 04.11.2026.

Age Limit
Deputation: maximum 55 years. PRCE: minimum 55 years and maximum 62 years. All counted as on 01.10.2026. Check your age eligibility →
Age Relaxation
Not specified in notification

Regular service
You must be working in, or retired from, the pay grade on a regular basis. MACP benefits (pay upgrades given for long service) are not counted.
Pay Level You Must Hold for Each Post
The pay levels below come from the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix, the central government pay grid. CDA scales are the pay grades central government departments use. IDA scales are the ones public sector companies use. Your pay level decides which post you can apply for.
Post
CDA pay level (7th Pay Commission)
IDA pay scale
Supervisor-III (Civil/Track, S and T, Environment)
Non-Gazetted Level 9 (Rs 53,100 to 1,67,800) or Level 8 (Rs 47,600 to 1,51,100)
Rs 50,000 to 1,60,000 (non-executive)
Supervisor-II (Civil/Track, S and T, Environment)
Level 7 (Rs 44,900 to 1,42,400)
Rs 46,000 to 1,45,000 (non-executive)
Supervisor-I (all four departments)
Level 6 (Rs 35,400 to 1,12,400)
Rs 37,000 to 1,15,000, or Rs 40,000 to 1,25,000 (non-executive)
Engineer (all four departments)
Level 10 (Rs 56,100 to 1,77,500) or Gazetted Level 9 (Rs 53,100 to 1,67,800)
Executive scale Rs 50,000 to 1,60,000
Senior Engineer (all four departments)
Level 11 (Rs 67,700 to 2,08,700)
Executive scale Rs 60,000 to 1,80,000 (or higher, for PRCE)
In Architecture, only the Supervisor-I level can apply for the Supervisor post.
So the age limit depends on how you apply. A 58-year-old retired engineer can apply on PRCE but not on deputation, while a 50-year-old serving officer can apply only on deputation.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the 01.10.2026 cut-off date to see whether you fit the 55-year limit for deputation or the 55 to 62 year band for PRCE.
DMRC will put the list of shortlisted candidates on its website in the second week of November 2026 (tentative). Screening follows in the third week of November, offline or online. No letters are sent by post, so keep checking the website. Carry the original copies of your documents.
2. Personal Interview
For both deputation and PRCE candidates. DMRC checks your knowledge, skills, understanding, aptitude and physical fitness.
3. Medical examination (PRCE only)
Executive posts: Executive/Technical category. Supervisor posts: Aye-one (A-1), not below Aye-three (A-3). Supervisor-I in Architecture: Aye-three (A-3). Full details are on the DMRC website. If you fail the medical test, DMRC will not offer you any other job, and its decision is final.
4. Final result
Fourth week of November 2026 (tentative), on the DMRC website.
In short: there is no written exam. On deputation, the interview decides your selection. On PRCE, you must pass the interview and the medical test.
