IREL Executive Recruitment 2026 — 73 Posts (E-1 to E-7) | Experienced Professionals Only, Apply by 10 August

IREL (India) Limited, a Mini Ratna Category-I Central Public Sector Undertaking under the Department of Atomic Energy, released Advertisement No. CO/HRM/35/2026 for 73 Executive posts (Regular basis), spanning grades E-1 (Assistant Manager) through E-7 (General Manager), across 36 post-discipline-grade combinations. IMPORTANT CORRECTION: This is NOT an entry-level graduate recruitment. These are experienced-hire executive positions requiring 2 to 20 years of relevant post-qualification experience, depending on the specific post and grade -- a fresh graduate with only a degree and no work experience is very unlikely to be eligible for any of these 73 posts. One detail that is easy to miss: candidates currently working in Central/State Government, PSUs, or Autonomous Organisations must show at least 2 years' experience specifically in the immediate lower pay scale to be eligible -- not just total years of post-qualification experience. Online applications are open from 20 July 2026 (10:00 Hrs) to 10 August 2026 (18:00 Hrs), exclusively via irel.co.in -- note the correct domain is irel.co.in, not irel.gov.in. Posts span both technical disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Mineral, Mining, Commercial/Purchase, Industrial Safety, Instrumentation, IT, Geology) and non-technical disciplines (Legal, Security, Medical, Finance, Marketing, HR, and others). Qualification requirements vary significantly by post -- B.E./B.Tech, M.Sc, LLB, MBBS, CA/CMA, MBA, MA/MSW in HRM, or CS, depending on the specific role. Age limit varies substantially by post and grade -- reported as ranging from approximately 28 years for Assistant Manager (E-1) posts up to 46-50 years for General Manager (E-7) posts, with standard age relaxation (OBC-NCL +3 years, SC/ST +5 years, PwBD/ExSM per government norms, maximum age after relaxation 56 years). Fee is Rs 944 for UR/EWS/OBC(NCL); Rs 354 for SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen/Women/Internal candidates. CTC ranges from approximately Rs 13.35 lakhs to Rs 33.38 lakhs per annum depending on grade, plus DA, HRA, Medical, Pension, and other benefits per 7th CPC-aligned PSU rules. Selection process: Shortlisting (based on qualification and experience) -> Personal Interview -> Psychometric Test and/or Group Exercise (added at IREL's discretion, may include a written test) -> Document Verification -> Pre-employment Medical Examination. Only ONE application is permitted per post -- if multiple applications are submitted, only the entry with the higher Application Sequence Number is considered, and fees are not transferable between entries.
