How to Apply
- Read the full Employment Notice No. 2(4)/I/STPI-HQ/2026-27 and confirm you meet the qualification, experience and age requirement for the post you want.
- Go to the STPI recruitment portal at recruitment.stpi.in/rect (also reachable from the Career → Vacancies section of www.stpi.in) and select your post from the Registration Part-I list.
- Complete Registration Part-I with your general information to generate a Registration Number. Do not fill Part-I again once a Registration Number has been generated.
- Using that Registration Number, complete Registration Part-II — the detailed application — before the closing date. If Part-II is not completed, Part-I registration stands cancelled and your candidature will not be considered.
- Pay the application fee of Rs. 500 online (free for female, SC, ST and PH candidates), upload the scanned documents, verify every entry, and submit before 12.10.2026. Government employees may upload their NOC even after final submission, up to the last date.
Note: Applications are accepted online only — no other mode of application shall be accepted. Once you freeze / finally submit the application, no changes can be made.
Documents Required

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Completing only Registration Part-I and stopping there — if Part-II is not finished before 12.10.2026, your Part-I registration is cancelled and you lose your candidature entirely.
- Applying for two posts with a single application — separate applications and a separate Rs. 500 fee are required for each post you want.
- Applying separately for each location of the same post — that is not needed; one application covers all locations for that post, and you simply fill in your location preference order inside the form.
- Ignoring the location preference order — a separate merit list is drawn for each location, so the order you enter directly decides which centre you are considered against.
- Freezing or finally submitting the application before checking every entry — no correction is possible once the data is frozen.
- Uploading a category certificate in a non-Central-Government format, or leaving it out altogether — the claim for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD/ESM is then not entertained and the candidature is cancelled.
- Attempting every question because of the marks on offer — there is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in all papers.
