Important Dates for DCB Recruitment 2026
- Candidates often want a single reference point for every deadline in the recruitment cycle, and this table covers exactly that. The notification was published on 17 June 2026, but the actual application portal does not open immediately - there is a one-month gap before candidates can start submitting forms. Anyone applying must remember that the cut-off date for checking eligibility (age, qualification, and category certificates) is the same as the closing date.
Delhi Cantonment Board Recruitment 2026 Vacancy Breakdown
- Candidates checking how many seats are available in their category will find that the 9 total vacancies are split unevenly across the four posts, with Junior Engineer (Civil) carrying the highest number of openings. Reservation has been applied according to standard government norms, covering UR, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories. One vacancy under Junior Engineer (Civil) is also earmarked for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) under Category (b) - Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
- PwBD sub-categories as defined in the notification are: Category (a) Blindness and Low Vision, Category (b) Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Category (c) Locomotor Disability (including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims, and muscular dystrophy), and Category (d) & (e) Autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disability, mental illness, and multiple disabilities.
Eligibility Criteria: Qualification and Age Limit
- Eligibility for DCB Recruitment 2026 depends on two things - the educational qualification specific to each post and a common age bracket of 21-30 years, both verified as on the closing date of 14 August 2026. Candidates must also be Indian citizens and should not apply unless they already hold the essential qualification by the cut-off date, since the notification clearly states that those lacking it "need not apply."
Post-wise Educational Qualification
- Assistant Engineer (Civil): Degree in Civil Engineering from a recognised University/Institute.
- Assistant Engineer (Mechanical): Degree in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised University/Institute.
- Junior Engineer (Civil): Degree in Civil Engineering from a recognised university, OR a three-year Diploma in Civil Engineering from a recognised University/Board/Institution.
- Junior Engineer (Electrical): Degree in Electrical Engineering from a recognised university, OR a three-year Diploma in Electrical Engineering from a recognised University/Board/Institution.
Age Limit and Relaxation
- The base age limit for all four posts is 21 to 30 years, calculated as on the closing date of 14 August 2026. Candidates from reserved and special categories receive the following age relaxation:
- Anyone wondering whether OBC reservation automatically applies should note that OBC candidates must submit a Non-Creamy Layer certificate based on income for FY 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26, issued on or after 1 April 2026 but no later than 14 August 2026. Similarly, EWS candidates need an Income & Asset Certificate based on FY 2025-26 income, issued within the same window.
Application Fee for DCB Recruitment 2026
- The application fee structure for this recruitment is straightforward, with a flat charge for general applicants and a wide list of exemptions. The fee for each post is Rs. 850/- per candidate, payable only through online mode within the application form itself, and once paid, it is non-refundable under any circumstances.
- Note that Ex-Servicemen who have already secured regular re-employment under DCB by availing earlier reservation benefits are not eligible for this fee concession.
Selection Process for Assistant Engineer & Junior Engineer Posts
- Selection for all four posts - Assistant Engineer (Civil), Assistant Engineer (Mechanical), Junior Engineer (Civil), and Junior Engineer (Electrical) - follows a single-stage process built entirely around a written test. There is no interview and no skill test, which means the final merit list is generated purely from CBT scores, followed by document verification and a medical fitness check for shortlisted candidates.
- Online Application (15 July 2026 - 14 August 2026): Candidates submit forms and upload documents.
- Admit Card Release: Downloadable from the official website once exam dates are notified.
- Computer Based Test (CBT): 120 MCQs, 120 marks, 120-minute duration, conducted in Hindi and English (except the English Comprehension section).
- Answer Key & Objections: Provisional answer keys are released online; objections are accepted only through the prescribed online mechanism within the notified window.
- Result/Merit List: Prepared based on final CBT scores; tie-breaks go first to the older candidate, then alphabetically by first name.
- Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates produce original certificates, self-attested copies, Admit Card, and two passport photos at the DCB office in Delhi Cantt.
- Medical Fitness Test: Conducted by the Medical Officer, Cantonment General Hospital, Delhi Cantt.
- Final Appointment: Selected candidates join on a 2-year provisional/probationary period before becoming permanent.
- Negative marking applies during the CBT: 0.33 marks are deducted for every wrong answer, while unattempted questions carry no penalty.
