CMRL Technician Recruitment 2026: Walk-in 13, 17, 23 Nov

CMRL Technician Recruitment 2026 runs through walk-in screening on 13, 17 and 23 November 2026. Delhi Metro International Limited (DMIL) is hiring Technicians for the operations and maintenance work of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) Phase-II, and the screening happens in person at Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai. The post is contractual for three years, on a CTC of Rs 28,165 a month, and the notice gives no vacancy count.

The trade list runs from Electrician and Fitter to Plumbers, Welders and Carpenters, but two rules cut the field hard. Your ITI must come from a Government ITI or a Government aided ITI in Tamil Nadu, with at least 60 percent aggregate, and private ITI certificates do not count. A Tamil language proficiency test applies too, unless you studied Tamil in Class 10.

If you clear those two filters, this is a straightforward government linked opening: you walk in with your documents and face the screening on the day. There is no written exam and no online form.

CMRL Technician Recruitment 2026 at a glance

Who can apply

The notice splits the trades into three groups. The first covers Electrician, Fitter and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic. The second covers Electronic Mechanic, Information Communication Technology System Maintenance, Information Technology, Computer Hardware and Network Maintenance, Mechanic Industrial Electronics and Power Electronics System.

The third covers Plumbers, Welders and Carpenters. Every trade needs the same base: Class 10 or Class 12 pass, plus an ITI certificate (NCVT or SCVT) in the relevant trade.

Two conditions deserve attention before you travel. The ITI must be from a Government ITI or a Government aided ITI of Tamil Nadu, and the minimum aggregate marks must not be below 60 percent. The 60 percent bar applies to the ITI aggregate, not to your Class 10 or 12 marks. The notice bars private ITI candidates outright.

The age limit is 18 to 33 years as on 1 October 2026, with the usual relaxation for reserved category candidates as per Tamil Nadu Government rules, and there is 30 percent horizontal reservation for women candidates.

Selection rests on merit cum reservation, through document verification and screening. The screening includes a Tamil language reading, writing and speaking proficiency test, which is qualifying in nature. If you studied Tamil as a subject in Class 10, you do not have to take it.

One more detail from the notice: the Tamil test is qualifying only, so it adds no marks to your merit. It decides whether you stay in the race. And the 30 percent horizontal reservation for women applies across the trades, not to a separate list.

DMIL empanels selected candidates for two years from the date of approval, and runs the panel strictly on merit cum reservation, in line with the vacancies available. The notice also says selected candidates may be deployed in any department, as per the requirement and exigency of work.

The three screening days

The DMIL Technician walk-in runs the same way at all three venues: document verification first, then screening.

Any of the three venues works. Travelling to a farther centre buys nothing, since the screening and the documents are the same at all three. Reach early. Reporting is 8:30 AM and document verification comes first, so a late arrival can cost you the day even if your papers are in order.

What to carry to the screening

Bring originals plus one set of photocopies of everything below. The notice lists the documents in a fixed order, and missing one can end your candidature on the spot.

Ten recent colour passport photographs. The filled Bio-Data Form attached as Annexure-I to the notice. Your Class 10 certificate and marksheet, which the notice calls mandatory. Proof of date of birth as per the matriculation certificate.

A caste certificate if applicable, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu. Complete educational qualification certificates and semester-wise marksheets, along with the CGPA or GPA to percentage conversion formula if applicable, from the Government ITI or Government aided ITI. And an ID proof such as Aadhaar, PAN, passport, driving licence or voter ID card. You also need a valid personal email ID and a mobile number that stays active through the recruitment process.

For the photographs, our passport size photo guide gives the standard specs, and the photo resizer on this site can size them to the exact dimensions your form needs.

Read the contract before you walk in

The engagement runs for three years at first, and DMIL can curtail or renew it depending on satisfactory service. If you leave within three years, DMIL can recover the training cost from you on a pro-rata basis, and you must give one month's notice before resigning. The notice also says you must serve a minimum period of three years, exclusive of any leave without pay. Either side can end the engagement at any time by giving 30 days notice.

The pay is a consolidated CTC of Rs 28,165 a month, inclusive of accommodation, transport, medical, LTA, canteen and insurance, and it is subject to deduction of taxes. There is no claim of regularization in the future. DMIL deducts the minimum provident fund prescribed under the Code on Social Security, 2020, matches it, and pays the accumulation out when the contract ends. Leave is 8 days of casual leave on a pro-rata basis and 18 days of earned leave, at 1.5 days for each completed month.

Two medical conditions are worth knowing in advance. Every empanelled candidate must pass the medical fitness test against the standards laid down by the Corporation, and candidates who have had LASIK surgery do not qualify for the Technician post. The Corporation pays for the first medical examination. If you ask for a re-medical, you pay for it.

What the notice does not say

The notice prints no vacancy count, so this article states none. Some job portals have filled the gap with a number of their own. The notice carries no such number. It also mentions no application fee, so do not pay anyone who asks for one for this screening.

A few portals also carry wrong basics for this drive, including a salary of Rs 15,000 a month and an offline application process. The official notice says Rs 28,165 CTC and walk-in screening, and those are the figures to trust. If you want a railway apprenticeship with an online form instead of a walk-in, our Central Railway Apprentice 2026 post covers that route. For other openings at this qualification level, our 12th pass government jobs post lists the current openings for school pass candidates.

The document states the post, the trades, the 60 percent ITI condition, the Government ITI only rule, the age limit, the reservation for women, the CTC of Rs 28,165, the three year tenure, the screening schedule and venues, the documents and the selection method.

It gives no vacancy count and no application fee, and this article gives none either. I used FreeJobAlert and TNJobZone articles of 5 to 7 November 2026 for discovery only.
