Central Manufacturing Technology Institute has notified recruitment for 71 posts under Advt. No. 05/2026. The prescribed qualification is A first-class ITI certificate, diploma, degree or master's degree, depending on the post. The vacancies are spread across 11 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.

Selection is made through Walk-in interview on the date fixed for your post. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹18,000 to ₹42,000 a month plus HRA, on project engagement. The place of posting is Central Manufacturing Technology Institute, Tumkur Road, Bengaluru 560022.

Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
