Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Recruitment 2026: 4 Engineering Vacancies in Ahmedabad and Surat
Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) Limited has announced four experienced-engineering positions through Recruitment Notification GMRCL/HR/RECT/Nov-2026/30, dated 14 November 2026. The openings span Rolling Stock operations and maintenance, railway/metro track infrastructure, and Rolling Stock engineering for the Ahmedabad Metro project. GMRC is a joint venture owned equally by the Government of India and Government of Gujarat, responsible for the Ahmedabad and Surat Metro Rail projects and their operation and maintenance.
This is not an entry-level engineering recruitment. Every notified position requires a recognised B.E./B.Tech qualification in the specified discipline and relevant post-qualification experience. Recruitment is on contract or deputation, as applicable, and the overall engagement is initially for a minimum of three years, extendable up to five years based on performance and the company's terms. The four advertised openings may be changed after reassessment of requirements.

| Advertised engineering position | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Section Engineer – Rolling Stock | 1 |
| Section Engineer – Track | 1 |
| Engineer – Senior Grade – Rolling Stock | 2 |
These are the advertised project locations, not a guarantee that a successful applicant will remain permanently in one city. GMRC expressly provides for postings at Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat or other GMRC projects anywhere in Gujarat. No UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS seat-wise roster is stated in the four-page notification, so the four openings should not be assigned an assumed reservation breakdown.
Eligibility: degree, experience and employment record
Section Engineer (Rolling Stock), Surat — 1 vacancy
A recognised B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics, Power Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering, or an accepted equivalent discipline, is required. The applicant must have at least five years of relevant experience after acquiring the qualification in maintenance of Rolling Stock or machinery and plant (M&P).
For applicants employed on revised IDA/CDA pay scales, the separate pay-scale eligibility conditions are important. They must have spent at least two years in IDA ₹35,000–1,10,000 or an equivalent/higher CDA scale in a Metro Rail, Railway, Railway PSU, government organisation or PSU; or at least five years in IDA ₹33,000–1,00,000 or equivalent CDA scale in a government/PSU/metro corporation. Private-sector applicants should be employed with an approximately ₹45,000 monthly CTC, supported by their CTC breakup and salary documents. These conditions appear in addition to the role's overall five-year relevant-experience requirement, not instead of it.
Section Engineer (Track), Surat — 1 vacancy
A recognised B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering is essential, along with at least five years of relevant post-qualification experience in civil-infrastructure maintenance, including structures such as viaducts, tunnels, metro stations, depots, ballasted track or ballastless track. The separate Section Engineer IDA/CDA-grade and private-sector monthly CTC conditions described above apply to this position as well.
Engineer – Senior Grade (Rolling Stock), Ahmedabad — 2 vacancies
The accepted engineering branches are Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics, Power Electronics and Instrumentation, or an accepted equivalent discipline. At least two years' relevant post-qualification experience is required in areas such as technical-specification preparation, contract administration, installation, testing, commissioning, statutory approvals or maintenance of Rolling Stock systems in railways, metros, other PSUs or private-sector organisations. Experience in a modern urban metro rail system will receive preference. The advertisement does not impose the separate Section Engineer ₹45,000 private-sector CTC test on this Senior Grade role.
📊 Minimum relevant post-qualification experience by GMRC position
| Advertised engineering position | Minimum years |
|---|---|
| Section Engineer – Rolling Stock | 5 |
| Section Engineer – Track | 5 |
| Engineer – Senior Grade – Rolling Stock | 2 |
Preferential consideration, not an absolute bar: Candidates who have worked in Gujarat for at least three years and are conversant with the Gujarati language are preferred. This is not worded as a general mandatory three-year Gujarat domicile/employment requirement for every applicant.
Age limit and internal candidates
Both Section Engineer and Engineer – Senior Grade applications carry a maximum age of 32 years, reckoned on 14 November 2026. Experience is also assessed on that date. The notice specifies that the age cap does not apply to serving GMRC employees; those employees must have completed at least two years at their present designation and grade and must apply through the proper channel. This exception does not apply to officials re-employed in GMRC after superannuation. The four-page notice does not provide a general numerical SC/ST/OBC/PwBD age-relaxation table; an additional relaxation should not be presumed from a different recruitment.
Pay scales and deputation terms
| Position | Revised IDA pay-scale range |
|---|---|
| Section Engineer — Rolling Stock | ₹40,000–1,25,000 |
| Section Engineer — Track | ₹40,000–1,25,000 |
| Engineer – Senior Grade — Rolling Stock | ₹35,000–1,10,000 |
📊 Starting values of the advertised revised IDA pay scales
| Advertised engineering position | Revised IDA scale minimum (₹/month) |
|---|---|
| Section Engineer – Rolling Stock | 40000 |
| Section Engineer – Track | 40000 |
| Engineer – Senior Grade – Rolling Stock | 35000 |
These figures are the published IDA salary scales, not guaranteed in-hand salary, take-home pay or total CTC. For candidates recruited on deputation, applicable parent-organisation terms and GMRC governing policies apply instead of treating the contract scale as an automatic deputation payment. The company also provides benefits under its policies, including group medical and group personal-accident insurance; HRA may vary according to posting and the applicable policy.
Selection and verification
GMRC specifies personal interview, document verification and medical examination. Original educational and experience certificates must be produced for verification before the interview, as separately clarified in the detailed selection instructions. Interview date, time and venue will be sent to shortlisted candidates through their registered email; no exact interview date is provided in this advertisement. Mere possession of the minimum qualification or experience does not guarantee an interview call. Selection may consider professional knowledge, skills, experience, expertise, aptitude and fitness.
Preference may be given to candidates having two years of experience in the same or immediately lower grade. Where enough suitable candidates are unavailable, GMRC may consider an applicant from a lower pay scale who otherwise satisfies educational qualification, total relevant experience and age criteria. GMRC also reserves the right to offer a lower grade than the one originally applied for.
For government, railway, metro, PSU and similar employing organisations, applicants should make the requisite proper-channel arrangements. Applicants on deputation must submit the No Objection Certificate (NOC); applicants working in government/PSU/metro bodies must also provide the last five years' APAR records along with their application or by the interview stage as the notice requires. Applicants must bring original certificates to document verification; otherwise they will not be allowed to attend the interview. Only shortlisted candidates will receive interview communication. No separate written-test date, written examination pattern or qualifying score is announced.
How to apply online by 29 November 2026
- Open the Careers section on GMRC's official website and select the recruitment corresponding to GMRCL/HR/RECT/Nov-2026/30.

Applicants in service should supply the applicable appointment letter, latest payslip and three years' Form 16, plus NOC/APAR as relevant.
- Review all entries in the preview before final submission; the notice states that submitted forms cannot be edited. Submit online on or before 29 November 2026.
The company accepts online applications only; sending a paper application instead is not a permitted alternative. No application fee is specified in the original four-page notice, and no particular online closing hour is printed.
Important conditions candidates should know

- Incomplete or false declarations may lead to rejection. Soliciting outside influence is a disqualification.
- Successful candidates are expected to communicate acceptance of an offer within three working days of receipt, subject to any extension permitted by the competent authority.
- GMRC may amend vacancies, withdraw the advertisement or change the recruitment arrangements; updates are published on its own website.
