For the Technical Officer on contract post, a B.E./B.Tech in the notified discipline with at least 60% marks plus one year of relevant experience is required. The marks requirement is relaxable to 50% for SC/ST candidates where reserved posts exist.

Application Fee
For the ECIL GET (online) recruitment, as per the previous cycle the fee was Rs. 1,000 for General/OBC/EWS candidates, while SC/ST/PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and departmental ECIL candidates were exempted. For the Technical Officer walk-in, no fee was charged. Candidates are advised to pay the fee, wherever applicable, only through the online gateway and to retain the receipt.
Salary / Pay Scale
Selected Graduate Engineer Trainees draw a pay scale of Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 1,40,000 during training and, on successful completion, are absorbed as Officers in the same scale with a 3% annual increment, plus DA, HRA and other PSU benefits. For the Technical Officer on contract post, the consolidated monthly emoluments (previous cycle) were around Rs. 25,000 in Year 1, Rs. 28,000 in Year 2 and Rs. 31,000 in Years 3–4, with PF, medical cover and paid leave.
Selection Process
For the GET post, ECIL follows a two-stage process — a Computer-Based Test (CBT) followed by a Personal Interview, with candidates shortlisted in roughly a 1:4 ratio. The final merit gives 85% weightage to the CBT and 15% to the interview, followed by document verification and a medical examination. For the Technical Officer on contract post, selection is through a walk-in comprising registration, document verification and interview, with merit based on qualification and experience.
Exam Pattern & Syllabus Highlights
The ECIL GET Computer-Based Test is an objective, multiple-choice paper of 100 questions carrying 100 marks, to be completed in 120 minutes. Each correct answer fetches 1 mark, with negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong response, and the paper is bilingual (English and Hindi). It is broadly divided into around 15% General Aptitude (reasoning, quantitative aptitude and general awareness) and about 85% from the candidate’s core engineering discipline. Aspirants are advised to revise branch subjects thoroughly, alongside steady aptitude practice, on the lines of the GATE-level syllabus.
