DoT 2026 Deputation Recruitment — Selection and Skill Requirements

Circular: 30-605/DDG(A)/DLSA/2026-27, 9 November 2026. Openings: 11 Junior Engineer (Telecom) and 4 Stenographer Grade-II. Recruiting office: Special DGT Delhi LSA, New Delhi. Posting locations: Delhi, Mumbai, Patna.

Recruitment through service-record review, not an announced written examination

Applicants are serving employees of authorised public bodies. They apply through their parent authority, which forwards a certified physical packet. The DoT selection committee first shortlists suitable candidates based on eligibility, and may hold a personal interaction/interview. No written-exam date, question paper, scoring scheme, minimum qualifying marks or exam centre is published. The interview is an optional next step at the committee's discretion, not a confirmed event on a definite date.

Two different regular-service thresholds

A Junior Engineer must have an analogous substantive regular post or six years in Level 5 (or equivalent), as well as a notified engineering qualification or a qualifying pre-31-May-2013 professional examination route. A Stenographer must have an analogous regular post or eight years in Level 2, in addition to Class 12 and stated stenographic competence. Do not borrow the JE grade threshold for the stenographer, or claim that engineering professional membership automatically qualifies any later applicant.

Official stenography competency norms

The Stenographer Grade-II requirements print 80 WPM dictation for 10 minutes. Transcription must be completed on computer, within 50 minutes for English or 65 minutes for Hindi. These are eligibility/skill norms stated in the vacancy circular; there is no announced test calendar or marking rubric. The parent department and DoT should determine any applicable verification or assessment arrangements.

Office-wise posts, not examination centres

📊 Vacancies by destination office

DoT HQ, DGT HQ, Delhi LSA and RE offices are named posting destinations, not test venues. A candidate posted in Mumbai or Patna still sends the application to the Delhi LSA recruiting authority.

Document scrutiny and possible personal interview

The Selection Committee checks the application and employer-verified record, five years of APARs, vigilance clearance, certificate of integrity, penalty history, degree or school certificates, current regular pay and period of service. Candidate-only emails cannot replace the properly signed physical packet. The Head of Delhi LSA may decide the final criteria for shortlist and selection. No separate exam syllabus beyond the printed qualification/skill norms can be responsibly provided.

Date discrepancy

Page 1 announces 25 November 2026 as the last date. Page 3 says 30 days from issuance on 9 November; it does not explicitly revoke the earlier day. Until a formal DoT clarification exists, applicants should work to the earlier date and allow the employer time for physical forwarding. No specific 5 PM or 11:59 PM cutoff is printed in the notice.
