About This Recruitment
Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers has notified recruitment for 94 posts under 16022026. Applications are accepted online from 08 Aug 2026 to 24 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A BE or B.Tech in the relevant branch, or a professional qualification such as CA, CMA or a master's degree, with at least 60% marks, and the age limit is 18 to 32 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 14 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Computer-based objective test, Personal interview and Document verification, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹60,000 a month stipend during the one-year training, then the E1 grade scale of ₹40,000 – ₹1,40,000. The place of posting is Trombay (Mumbai), Thal (Alibag), area and marketing offices across India, and project sites.
The application fee is ₹1,000 plus bank charges and GST for General, OBC (non-creamy layer) and EWS, and no fee is payable by SC, ST, Ex-Servicemen, PwBD and all women candidates. 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.
