The Currency Note Press, Nashik (CNP Nashik), operating under the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL), has moved into the admit card phase for its 534-post recruitment drive (Advt. No. CNPN/HR/Rect./01/2026), covering Supervisor, Junior Technician, and other posts. The exam city intimation slip is already out, and the written examination is scheduled for 17 to 19 August 2026.
1. Recruitment Overview
This admit card belongs to a large, multi-unit recruitment drive — SPMCIL is hiring simultaneously across four of its production units: CNP Nashik, ISP Nashik, BNPD Dewas, and SPPH Hyderabad. If you applied for any post under Advt. No. CNPN/HR/Rect./01/2026, this admit card process applies to you regardless of which specific unit you’re competing for.

Since this is a Central Government PSU recruitment run through a dedicated exam-management portal (CBExams) rather than SPMCIL’s own website login, make sure you’re bookmarking the right URL — a lot of confusion happens when candidates search for the admit card on the general SPMCIL careers page instead of the actual exam portal.
2. Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Online Application Start Date | 20 April 2026 |

Worth knowing: the exam is being conducted across multiple shifts over these three days, since different posts and candidate volumes are being managed together. Your specific date and shift will only be confirmed on your individual admit card — the exam city slip alone doesn’t tell you your exact day or time.
3. Vacancy Details
This recruitment drive covers 534 vacancies in total, spread across the following posts and units:
| Post | Applicable Units |
|---|---|
| Supervisor (Various Trades) | CNPN, ISPN, BNPD, SPPH |

4. Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility was fixed at the application stage and doesn’t change at the admit card phase — but here’s what applied when you registered, for reference:
Educational Qualification: Varies by post — ranging from ITI/Diploma-level trade certificates for Junior Technician roles up to Graduate-level qualifications for Supervisor, Welfare Officer, and Safety Officer posts.
Age Limit (as per original notification):
| Post Group | Age Range |
|---|---|
| Artist / Junior Office Assistant / Secretarial Assistant | 18 – 28 years |
| Supervisor / Junior Technician | 18 – 25/28/30 years, varying by trade |
Standard age relaxation applies as per Government of India rules for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen categories.
5. Selection Process
Selection for CNP Nashik 2026 runs through four sequential stages — and this admit card marks your entry into Stage 1.
- Computer Based Test (CBT) — 150 objective-type (MCQ) questions worth 150 marks in most versions of this exam, with a duration of 120 minutes. Marks vary somewhat by post — reported figures range up to 200 marks for most posts, 160 marks for Secretarial Assistant/Junior Office Assistant, and 120 marks for Junior Technician (Printing/Control) and Junior Technician (Workshop). There is no negative marking for wrong answers.
- Skill Test / Trade Test — Applicable specifically to technical posts like Junior Technician and Supervisor. Candidates who clear the CBT are called for a hands-on practical assessment of their trade competency.
- Document Verification — Candidates clearing the written exam and skill test are called to verify original certificates covering educational qualification, age, category, and other eligibility criteria.
- Medical Examination — Conducted where applicable, as per SPMCIL’s prescribed fitness standards, before final appointment.
No shortcut through stages: Clearing the CBT alone doesn’t confirm your selection — for technical posts specifically, you still need to clear the Skill/Trade Test before moving to document verification.
6. Salary & Pay Structure
Selected candidates receive a monthly salary along with allowances and perks as per SPMCIL’s pay structure, which varies by post and grade. Exact post-wise salary figures are detailed in the original recruitment notification — as a Mini-Ratna Category-I Central Public Sector Enterprise, SPMCIL follows a defined CDA/IDA-linked pay scale appropriate to each post’s grade level.
7. Application Fee (for reference — already closed)
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / EWS / OBC | ₹1,000 |
| SC / ST / PwBD | ₹200 |
(This stage has already passed — included here only for candidates cross-checking their original payment.)
