Short Information: RITES Limited, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, is hiring 24 Assistant Manager (Mechanical) professionals on a regular basis under VC No. RG/11/26. This is a proper written-exam-plus-interview recruitment, not a walk-in or apprenticeship — candidates need a full-time Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a closely related stream like Production, Manufacturing, Railways, or Mechatronics & Automobile) along with at least 2 years of post-qualification outdoor work experience at a project site, factory, or plant in production or mechanical maintenance; academic, teaching, or internship experience doesn't count toward this. The selection runs through a 125-question objective Written Test worth 125 marks over 2.5 hours, followed by an Interview for shortlisted candidates called in a 1:6 ratio to vacancies, with the final merit weighted 60% on the Written Test and 40% on the Interview. Out of the 24 vacancies, 12 are Unreserved, and one post is horizontally reserved for a Person with Benchmark Disability under the Locomotor Disability category. The upper age limit is 32 years as on the cut-off date of 17 August 2026, and this comes with a genuine regular-basis appointment on RITES' IDA pay scale of ₹40,000 to ₹1,40,000, plus DA, HRA or lease accommodation, Performance Related Pay, and a full superannuation package including PF, Gratuity, and Post-Retirement Medical benefits. Online applications and fee payment are open from 17 July 2026 to 17 August 2026, with the written test to be held at one of six tentative locations across India.

💡 Expert Tip
Get your marks certificate situation sorted before you even start the form — if your degree certificate or marksheet only shows CGPA and not a percentage or class, RITES needs a conversion formula issued directly by your university; if your university doesn't have one, you'll need a signed undertaking to that effect, in which case a flat 6-on-10 CGPA gets treated as exactly 60%, no higher. Also pay close attention to the experience definition here: RITES is explicit that training (other than genuine on-the-job training), internships, teaching, academic work, fellowships, or PhD research time does NOT count toward your 2 years of post-qualification experience, though Apprenticeship Act training in the relevant discipline does count — so don't assume any technical-sounding stint automatically qualifies. If you're currently in a Government organisation or PSU on a regular basis, route your application through proper channel or be ready to bring your NOC to the interview itself — RITES won't consider an NOC submitted after the interview date, which would cost you pay protection and other joining benefits even if you're otherwise selected.
