About This Recruitment
IREL (India) Limited has notified recruitment for 73 posts under Advt. No. CO/HRM/35/2026. Applications are accepted online from 20 Jul 2026 to 17 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A BE or B.Tech, LLB, CA, CMA, CS, MBA, M.Sc., MBBS, MA or MSW, with the experience prescribed for each grade, and the age limit is 28 to 50 years before category relaxation is applied.
Selection is made through Shortlisting, Assessment and Pre-employment medical examination, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹13.35 lakh to ₹33.38 lakh CTC a year, from grade E-1 to E-7. The place of posting is Chavara (Kerala), Manavalakurichi (Tamil Nadu), OSCOM (Odisha), RED Aluva and the corporate office in Mumbai.
The application fee is ₹944 including GST for Unreserved, EWS and OBC (non-creamy layer). The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
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.
