About Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR)
Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) is a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise functioning under the administrative control of the Ministry of Railways. It leads Containerized Multimodal Logistics Services in India, running a network of Inland Container Depots (ICDs), Dedicated Container Terminals (DCTs), Container Freight Stations (CFSs) and PSCTs/Multi-Modal Logistics Parks across the country. Beyond container handling and rail operations, CONCOR also provides cargo storage, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, bonded trucking and LCL consolidation, making it a significant employer for candidates from commercial, finance, technical, civil, IT and HR backgrounds.
Local context: how this vacancy compares
CONCOR postings are spread across its ICDs, DCTs, CFSs, PSCTs and Air Cargo Complexes nationwide, and selected candidates can be transferred to any of these after their initial appointment. This is different from a state-level recruitment, where postings usually stay within a single state. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the official website. Navratna CPSEs like CONCOR typically offer a defined training-to-management career path along with PSU-scale benefits, which is why they also draw candidates who might otherwise apply to banking or state PSC recruitment. Candidates weighing this vacancy against a state PSC or bank job should factor in the transfer liability and the three-year service bond attached to the Management Trainee posts against the compensation and Assistant Manager absorption on offer.
Important dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Opening date for online registration | 31 August 2026, 10:00 AM |
| Last date for online submission | 30 September 2026, 11:55 PM |
The Computer Based Test for Management Trainee and Assistant Officer posts will be held on the same day, in two separate shifts. Candidates applying for more than one post should note that the exam schedule for two post codes may coincide, or the exam city and centre may differ.

CONCOR Recruitment 2026 – Selection process
CONCOR conducts a single online Computer Based Test (CBT) for both Management Trainee and Assistant Officer posts, followed by different next stages for each.
- Computer Based Test (CBT) — common written stage for both MT and AO posts, held on the same day in two separate shifts.
- Group Discussion and/or Interview — for Management Trainee posts only, as decided by CONCOR. Selection for Assistant Officer posts is based purely on CBT performance; there is no GD or interview stage for AO posts.
- Document Verification — original certificates for qualification, category, experience and identity are checked; appointment is also subject to police verification, reference checks and a Medical Fitness Test.
Candidates opt for three Test Cities in order of preference at the time of application, and this choice cannot be changed after the form is submitted. CONCOR reserves the right to cancel or add examination centres. No travelling expenses are paid for the CBT or Group Discussion, but candidates called for interview are reimbursed as per CONCOR’s TA/DA rules. The decision of CONCOR on selection is final and binding, and no correspondence is entertained for non-calling of a candidate or for non-selection.

Duration is 90 minutes, extended to 120 minutes for eligible PwBD candidates using a scribe. Each question carries five answer choices, and every wrong answer attracts a penalty of one-fourth (0.25) mark. The question paper is set in English and Hindi; the English version prevails in case of any discrepancy.
Application fee
Candidates in the General (UR), OBC (Creamy Layer and Non-Creamy Layer) and EWS categories pay a non-refundable fee of ₹750 plus GST for Management Trainee posts and ₹500 plus GST for Assistant Officer posts, plus bank transaction or intimation charges. SC, ST, PwBD and Ex-servicemen candidates are exempt from the application fee. Fee is accepted only through online payment; once paid, it is not refunded or adjusted against any future recruitment. Candidates applying for more than one post code must submit a separate application form and fee for each post, at their own risk, since the exam schedule or centre for different post codes may not match.

Should you apply?
CONCOR suits graduates and engineers who want a stable, PSU-scale career with a defined path to Assistant Manager (E1 grade). Management Trainee posts pay a training-stage scale of ₹50,000–3%–1,60,000, with an approximate CTC of ₹20.11 lakh a year after absorption, but come with a mandatory three-year service bond of ₹2 lakh plus 12% interest, and selection runs through a CBT plus Group Discussion and/or Interview. Assistant Officer posts, at a lower pay scale of ₹40,000–3%–1,36,000 and roughly ₹16.09 lakh CTC, need 2–4 years of prior experience depending on the post and qualification, and are decided purely on the CBT — so they suit experienced candidates rather than fresh graduates. Both post types carry an all-India transfer liability at CONCOR’s discretion, which candidates who want to stay near home should weigh carefully before applying. This assessment is added context, not part of the official notification.
