Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR), a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, has released Employment Notification No. 05/2026, dated 18 August 2026, inviting applications for 77 posts — 45 Management Trainee (Executive cadre) and 32 Assistant Officer (Supervisory cadre) — across Commercial & Operations, Accounts, Technical, MIS, Civil, and Personnel & Administration disciplines. Online registration is open from 31 August to 30 September 2026.
1. Recruitment Overview
CONCOR runs India’s container-based multimodal logistics network — inland container depots, rail-linked freight terminals, and the movement of cargo across the country. This recruitment brings in fresh talent at two distinct entry points: Management Trainees, who join the Executive cadre and go through a structured induction before taking on managerial responsibility, and Assistant Officers, who enter directly into supervisory roles.
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Recruiting Organisation | Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) |
| Employment Notification No. | 05/2026 |
| Notification Date | 18 August 2026 |
| Total Vacancies | 77 (45 Management Trainee + 32 Assistant Officer) |
| Disciplines Covered | Commercial & Operations, Accounts, Technical, MIS, Civil, Personnel & Administration |
| Cadres | Executive (MT) and Supervisory (AO) |
| Application Mode | Online only |
| Official Website | CONCOR website, HR & Career section |
With Commercial & Operations alone accounting for 25 of the 45 Management Trainee seats and 20 of the 32 Assistant Officer seats, this discipline clearly represents the single largest opening across the entire notification — worth knowing if you’re weighing which stream gives you the best odds.
2. Important Dates
| Event | Date |

You get a full month to apply — a genuinely comfortable window by PSU recruitment standards. That said, CONCOR has flagged this as an Indicative Recruitment Notice, with the fully detailed notification (covering exact eligibility, experience norms, and fee specifics) to be published separately on the CONCOR website’s HR & Career section — so treat this window as your cue to start preparing documents, not your final source for every fine-print detail.
3. Vacancy Details

| Total | 32 |
Grand Total: 77
Commercial & Operations dominates both cadres combined — 45 of the 77 total seats (58%) sit in either the MT or AO version of this single discipline. If your background fits C&O, this notification offers by far your widest shot.
Important caveats CONCOR has flagged directly:
- This is explicitly an Indicative Notice — some discipline-wise numbers above (Technical, MIS, Civil, P&A splits) aren’t fully broken out in the currently available notice and will be confirmed in the detailed advertisement.
- The notification includes one backlog vacancy under Management Trainee (MIS).
- Category-wise (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/UR) reservation applies across all posts as per Government of India norms, with the exact breakup available in the full notification.
- Selected candidates can be posted at any CONCOR office, terminal, or unit in India, at the company’s discretion, and may be transferred anywhere after their initial appointment.
4. Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification: Varies by discipline — generally a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree relevant to the specific stream (for example, B.E./B.Tech for Technical and Civil disciplines, M.Com for Accounts, MBA for Personnel & Administration). Since this is an Indicative Notice, the precise degree and experience requirement for each of the twelve post codes will be confirmed in CONCOR’s detailed advertisement.
Age Limit (as on 31 August 2026)
| Post | Age Range |
|---|---|
| Management Trainee | 18 – 28 years |
| Assistant Officer | 18 – 32 years |
Age Relaxation:
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC/ST | 5 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 years |
| PwBD | 10 years |
| Other categories | As per standing Government of India rules |
5. Selection Process
Selection differs meaningfully between the two cadres — Management Trainees go through an additional interview/GD stage that Assistant Officer candidates skip entirely.
Management Trainee: Computer Based Test (CBT) → Group Discussion and/or Interview (as decided by CONCOR) → Document Verification → Medical Fitness.
Assistant Officer: Computer Based Test (CBT) → Document Verification → Medical Fitness. There is no interview stage for Assistant Officer posts — final selection rests entirely on your CBT performance.
Since the GD/Interview stage is optional and left to CONCOR’s discretion for Management Trainee posts, don’t assume it will definitely happen — but it’s worth preparing for regardless, given the seniority and responsibility that comes with the Executive cadre track.
6. Salary & Pay Structure
| Post | Pay Scale (₹) |
|---|---|
| Management Trainee | 50,000 – 3% increments – 1,60,000 |
| Assistant Officer | 40,000 – 3% increments – 1,36,000 |
Beyond basic pay, selected candidates receive applicable allowances and benefits as per CONCOR’s service rules, in line with 7th Pay Commission-linked compensation structures common across Central PSUs.
7. Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General/OBC/EWS | ₹750 + GST |
| Other categories (reported) | ₹500 + GST |
Exact category-wise fee exemptions (typically applicable to SC/ST/PwBD candidates in most CONCOR-style PSU recruitments) will be confirmed in the detailed notification — check the official advertisement before completing payment.
