If your university has not issued your final degree certificate by the deadline, you are ineligible. During document verification, you must produce the original degree certificate.

There is no physical fitness test (PFT) with prescribed running/push-up standards for Management Trainee or Assistant Officer posts. However, a mandatory medical examination occurs after document verification and before final appointment. The medical exam checks general fitness (vision, hearing, blood pressure, chest X-ray, blood tests) per CONCOR guidelines. Candidates with disabilities applying under PwBD category undergo an assessment to confirm reasonable accommodation feasibility for the role. Pass the medical exam is a prerequisite for appointment; failure or undisclosed pre-existing conditions can result in offer withdrawal.

You can apply once for each post variant (i.e., once for Management Trainee, once for Assistant Officer) in this 2026 recruitment cycle. The age limit does not reset between recruitment cycles; your date of birth is fixed. For future CONCOR recruitments (e.g., 2027, 2028), if the age limit bracket remains 18–32, you will be ineligible once you cross 32 years (or 35–37 with relaxation as applicable). There is no annual re-attempt rule. Plan accordingly: if you are aged 31–32, apply now; if 28–30, you have one or two future windows depending on CONCOR's recruitment frequency.

Management Trainee salary scale: ₹50,000–1,60,000 with 3% annual increment (CTC ≈ ₹20.11 lakhs). Approximate in-hand after deductions: ₹13–14 lakhs annually (or ₹1.08–1.17 lakhs monthly). Breakdown: basic salary ≈ ₹50,000, NPS deduction ≈ 10% of salary (≈ ₹5,000), income tax ≈ 10–15% (varies by state and personal circumstances), LIC/other recoveries ≈ ₹2,000–3,000. Use the salary calculator to model exact take-home based on your state of posting, as tax slabs differ. Your actual in-hand will be confirmed in the appointment letter after posting location is finalized.

Postings are all-India. CONCOR operates terminals in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and other Tier-1/Tier-2 cities. During the interview or post-selection posting form, you can indicate 1–3 preferred locations; however, final posting is decided by CONCOR based on operational requirements and departmental vacancies. Typically, postings are finalized 2–4 weeks after medical clearance. Most Management Trainees are initially posted at major terminal hubs (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore); Assistant Officers are posted based on their departmental specialization and experience fit. Expect 6–12 months inter-terminal rotation during the first 2 years.

Age relaxation from the upper limit of 32 years: SC candidates: +5 years = up to 37 years; ST candidates: +5 years = up to 37 years; OBC candidates: +3 years = up to 35 years; PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) candidates: +10 years = up to 42 years; ESM (Ex-Servicemen) candidates: +3 years plus service period (e.g., if you served 3 years, effective age limit = 32 + 3 + 3 = 38 years). Use the age calculator on this site to verify your exact eligibility after applying relaxation for your category.

The notification specifies "4 years of relevant experience" for most Assistant Officer roles but does not mandate continuous service in one organization. Experience gained across multiple employers (e.g., 1 year in Port Authority + 1.5 years in private freight forwarder + 1.5 years in customs agency = 4 years total) is typically accepted, provided each experience is certified by your employer with employment dates and job description. Check the detailed Assistant Officer post description for specific experience requirements (some roles may require experience in government logistics or railways specifically). During document verification, bring all experience certificates and relieving letters to prove your cumulative experience.

Selection Process: Stage 1 – Written Examination (objective-type, covering General Awareness, Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English; marks and duration per detailed notification; negative marking likely). Stage 2 – Group Discussion (10–15 min) and Personal Interview (20–30 min); scored out of 100 each. Stage 3 – Document Verification (pass/fail stage; original certificates submitted). Stage 4 – Medical Examination (pass/fail stage; general fitness check). Final merit list is calculated as: Written Exam score (typically 70% weightage) + GD+PI score (typically 30% weightage). Exact weightage confirmed in the detailed notification. Tie-breaking: higher written exam score, then older candidate by date of birth.

Applications submitted after 30 September 2026, 11:59 PM (IST, as per portal clock) will not be accepted. The online portal closes automatically at the deadline; no late submissions or manual extensions are granted. If your payment fails or you forget to click final submit, you cannot re-apply after the deadline. Set a reminder for at least 2–3 days before the closing date to complete all steps (registration, form-fill, photo/signature upload, payment, form submission, acknowledgement download). Do not delay until the last minute due to technical glitches or payment slowness.

Negative marking is expected based on CONCOR's typical exam pattern, but the exact penalty (e.g., –0.25, –0.5, –1 mark) per incorrect answer will be specified in the detailed notification and examination instructions. Typically, 0.25 marks are deducted for every incorrect MCQ in competitive government exams. Unanswered questions usually carry no penalty. Review the official exam notice and sample questions carefully before the test. Avoid random guessing if the penalty is high (–1 mark) and marks are borderline.
