Not the MECL Executive Trainee Recruitment
MECL’s Corrigendum-V dated 09.10.2026 extends the closing date to 23.10.2026 only for Advertisement No. 02/Rectt./2026 (Executive Trainee). It does not change the 11 October 2026 closing date of this Non-Executive Advertisement No. 03/Rectt./2026.
Pay Scales (IDA)

- W-3 (Junior Driver): Rs. 19,600 – 47,900
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for the Executive Trainee extension: the 23 October date does not apply to Non-Executive posts.
- Applying without the minimum 45% marks in the essential qualification, or without the required post-qualification experience for posts that need it.
- Missing a valid licence: Technician (Drilling) and Mechanic need a valid HMV licence, and Junior Driver needs valid LMV and HMV licences.
- Submitting more than one application for the same post, or using unofficial links.
