This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with IREL. This drive spans both entry-level and senior executive hiring in one advertisement — Assistant Manager (E-1) posts ask for only 2 years of post-qualification experience, making them realistic for early-to-mid-career engineers and professionals, while Chief Manager, Deputy General Manager and General Manager posts (E-5 to E-7) need 13 to 20 years of experience and are aimed at candidates already at a senior level elsewhere, including in Central/State PSUs. The notification also states a clear preference for candidates with a background in mining, metallurgical, chemical, power, or manufacturing/production sectors during shortlisting.

Eligibility – Additional Conditions Beyond the Post-wise Table
Minimum marks: All prescribed qualifications require First Class (60% marks in aggregate) for UR/OBC(NCL)/EWS candidates and 55% marks in aggregate for SC/ST candidates. This requirement does not apply to qualified CAs, CMAs, or CSs. If a mark sheet does not show a percentage, the conversion formula issued by the university must be uploaded; where no such formula exists, 6 on a 10-point scale is treated as 60%.
For candidates already in Government/PSU service: Candidates from Central/State Government, PSUs, or Autonomous Organisations must have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in the immediate lower scale of pay (or equivalent under IDA/CDA/PS Bank pay patterns) as on 10/08/2026, out of the total post-qualification experience required for the post. This condition does not apply to candidates already in the same, equivalent, or higher scale of pay. Candidates on Fixed Term/Contractual terms drawing a consolidated salary in Government/PSU are treated the same as Private Sector candidates for eligibility.
For candidates from the Private Sector or other organisations: A minimum CTC drawn in the last financial year is required, expressed as a percentage of the CTC offered for the grade applied for — 70% for General Manager (E-7), 60% for Deputy General Manager (E-6) and Chief Manager (E-5), and 50% for Senior Manager (E-4), Manager (E-3), and Deputy Manager (E-2). This condition is not applicable to Assistant Manager (E-1) posts, and is not applicable to EWS-category candidates applying against an EWS-reserved post.

Selection Process
- Shortlisting is based on the information and documents the candidate declares at the time of online application. A false declaration found at any stage disqualifies the candidate from interview, with no travel reimbursement.
- Shortlisting follows the criteria in the vacancy table above. Candidates with experience in mining, metallurgical, chemical, power, or manufacturing/production sectors have an advantage, and IREL may raise the minimum eligibility standards to manage the number of applicants shortlisted.
- Assessment is through Personal Interview, Psychometric Test, or Group Exercise, or a combination of these; IREL may conduct multiple rounds of interviews if the number of shortlisted candidates is large, and reserves the right to conduct a written test if required.
- Final selection is based on interview performance, organisational requirement, vacancies to be filled, and overall suitability. Meeting the advertised qualification and experience does not by itself guarantee an interview call.
- Selected candidates must clear a pre-employment medical examination conducted by IREL’s Medical Officers; appointment is subject to medical fitness for the post.
- Appointment is further subject to verification of character, antecedents, and experience as per company rules.
- A reasonable waitlist is prepared and stays valid for one year, invoked only if a vacancy arises.
Practical note on interview travel: Candidates called for a face-to-face interview are reimbursed to-and-fro rail fare — III AC for E-1 to E-5 grade posts and II AC for E-6 and E-7 grade posts — from the nearest railway station of their correspondence address to the interview venue, by the shortest route, on production of tickets. Other modes of travel are reimbursed up to the same III AC/II AC limit.

Should You Apply?
This advertisement really covers two different hiring bands under one drive. The Assistant Manager (E-1) posts ask for only 2 years of post-qualification experience, making them realistic for engineers and professionals in the early part of their careers, with a CTC of ₹13.35 Lakh and an age cap of 28 years. At the other end, Chief Manager, Deputy General Manager, and General Manager posts (E-5 to E-7) need 13 to 20 years of experience, existing seniority in an equivalent or one-grade-lower pay scale if coming from Government/PSU service, and carry a CTC up to ₹33.38 Lakh. A real trade-off across every grade is location: postings are described as tentative and the notification states clearly that selected candidates can be transferred to any IREL unit, so candidates should be ready to work in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, or Mumbai rather than expecting a fixed city. Candidates with a background in mining, metallurgical, chemical, or heavy manufacturing sectors are explicitly favoured at the shortlisting stage.

How many vacancies are there in IREL Advt. No. CO/HRM/35/2026?
There are 73 vacancies across 36 post-discipline-grade combinations, from Assistant Manager (E-1) to General Manager (E-7), spread across IREL’s plants in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and its Corporate Office in Mumbai.
What is the selection process for IREL Assistant Manager and other Executive posts?
Selection is through shortlisting followed by a Personal Interview, which may be combined with a Psychometric Test or Group Exercise; IREL may also conduct a written test if it decides one is needed. This is added context, not part of the official notification: PSU recruitment structured this way typically weighs technical depth and communication at interview more heavily than a separate written round, though IREL retains full discretion to add one for any post.
