CWC Recruitment 2026: 327 Assistant Manager & Junior Executive Posts — Eligibility, Salary, Exam Pattern & How to Apply

1. Introduction — CWC Recruitment 2026 at a Glance

Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) is recruiting for 327 permanent posts: 171 Assistant Manager vacancies across six disciplines and 156 Junior Executive vacancies across two streams. Applications are accepted online only at cewacor.nic.in from 17 October 2026 to 15 November 2026, under Advertisement No. CWC/I-Manpower/DR/Rectt/2026/01.

The Assistant Manager posts (Post Codes 01–06) sit in the E-1 executive scale of ₹40,000–1,40,000. They are filled through an online test, then document verification with an interview, and final merit is weighted 85% exam and 15% interview. The Junior Executive posts (Post Codes 07–08) sit in the S-V scale of ₹29,000–93,000. They have no interview: selection rests on the online test, followed by document verification at CWC's Corporate Office in New Delhi. Every post in Table-A uses the same three-hour, 230-mark online examination, with ¼-mark negative marking and a compulsory English descriptive test.

This guide covers the full notification. Beyond the basics, it explains the rules that most commonly disqualify applicants: the ban on final-year students, the exclusion of CA articleship from experience, the OBC-NCL certificate issue-date window, the ex-servicemen age formula for Junior Executive posts, the four mandatory scanned uploads, and the exam-day dress code.

2. About Central Warehousing Corporation

Central Warehousing Corporation is a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the administrative control of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India. It runs scientific storage for agricultural produce, inputs and other notified commodities. It also operates logistics infrastructure for import-export cargo, including Container Freight Stations (CFSs), Inland Container Depots (ICDs), Land Custom Stations and Air Cargo Complexes.

For recruits, this means the work is a mix of warehouse operations, grain quality control and pest management, finance, and civil, electrical and mechanical engineering upkeep of storage and terminal assets. That mix explains why the Technical syllabus leans so heavily on fumigation, storage fungi and grain standards. CWC's facilities are spread across more than 30 States and Union Territories, from Kandla and Mundra ports in Gujarat to Drass and Zanskar in Ladakh.

3. Important Dates

Online registration and fee payment for CWC Recruitment 2026 both run from 17 October 2026 to 15 November 2026. The online exam date has not been announced yet. CWC says exam call letters will be available roughly 21 days before the exam.

4. Vacancy Details — Post-Wise & Category-Wise

CWC has notified 327 vacancies across 8 post codes. They split into 171 Assistant Manager posts (52%) and 156 Junior Executive posts (48%). Assistant Manager (General) has the most posts with 70, while the two Junior Executive streams have 78 each.

* Includes backlog vacancies. Assistant Manager (Engg.) – Civil has 2 backlog SC posts on top of 1 current SC post. The PwBD backlog figures for Finance, Civil, Electrical and both Junior Executive streams are included in the PwBD column. PwBD and Ex-Servicemen reservations are horizontal: they sit inside the UR/EWS/OBC/SC/ST counts, not on top of them.

Category-wise, Unreserved accounts for 140 posts (42.8%), followed by OBC with 97 (29.7%), SC with 40 (12.2%), EWS with 30 (9.2%) and ST with 20 (6.1%). Ex-Servicemen get a horizontal reservation of 11 posts each in Junior Executive (General) and Junior Executive (Technical), 22 in total. No Assistant Manager post has an Ex-Servicemen quota.

5. Eligibility Criteria — Qualification & Nationality

Every CWC post requires a completed qualification with the final mark sheet or certificate issued on or before 15 November 2026. Final-year and final-semester students cannot apply. Only Assistant Manager (Finance) also demands work experience, in some cases.

Four Qualification Rules That Cause Rejection

• No final-year candidates: eligibility is judged from the issue date of the final mark sheet or certificate. A result declared after 15 November 2026 disqualifies you, even if the exam was written earlier.
• CGPA/SGPA/OGPA must be converted: enter an equivalent percentage in the form. At document verification you must produce a university certificate stating its grade-to-percentage conversion norm.
• Exact degree names only: CWC accepts only the qualifications listed in the advertisement. Your mark sheet must clearly show the degree name, specialisation and division or percentage, or you must bring a university certificate confirming them.
• CA articleship is excluded: for Assistant Manager (Finance) Option A, articleship years do not count toward the 3 years of experience.

Nationality

A candidate must be one of the following: a citizen of India; a subject of Nepal or Bhutan; a Tibetan refugee who came to India before 1 January 1962 to settle permanently; or a person of Indian origin who migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, Vietnam or specified East African countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Ethiopia) to settle permanently. Everyone except Indian citizens needs a certificate of eligibility issued by the Government of India.

6. Age Limit & Relaxation

The age limit for all 8 CWC posts is 18 to 28 years as on 15 November 2026. An Unreserved candidate must have been born between 16 November 1998 and 15 November 2008, both dates inclusive. Reserved categories get relaxation on top of this, but combined relaxations can never take anyone past 55 years.

The Ex-Servicemen Formula for Junior Executive Posts

For Junior Executive (General) and Junior Executive (Technical), CWC does not use a flat relaxation for Ex-Servicemen. Instead, the candidate subtracts their actual period of military service from their actual age on 15 November 2026. The result must not exceed the prescribed limit by more than 3 years: 31 for UR, 34 for OBC and 36 for SC/ST. For example, a 38-year-old UR veteran with 10 years of service has a resultant age of 28, which is within 31, so they are eligible. "Call-up service" counts as military service. Children and dependants of Ex-Servicemen get no age concession.

Other Age Rules Worth Knowing

• Stacking: SC/ST/OBC relaxation can be combined with one of the other categories (PwBD, Ex-Servicemen, Commissioned Officers or 1984 riots).
• Departmental candidates: regular CWC employees can claim relaxation only if they will still have at least 5 years of service left on 15 November 2026.
• Reserved candidates applying for UR posts: if a post has no vacancy for your category, you may apply against UR posts but get no age relaxation. SC, ST, PwBD, women and Ex-Servicemen candidates still keep the fee exemption.
• PwBD: the 10-year concession applies whether or not the post is PwBD-reserved, provided it is identified as suitable for your disability.
• Serving soldiers: personnel due for release within one year of 15 November 2026 qualify, but must show at document verification that they will be relieved on or before 15 November 2027.

7. Salary, Benefits, Bond & Posting

A CWC Assistant Manager starts at a basic pay of ₹40,000 in the E-1 IDA scale (₹40,000–1,40,000). A Junior Executive starts at ₹29,000 in the S-V IDA scale (₹29,000–93,000). Both scales follow the Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) pattern used by Central PSUs, not the 7th CPC pay matrix.

On top of basic pay and IDA, CWC's notification lists these benefits, each paid according to the Corporation's policies:

Bond, Probation and Posting

• Service bond: Assistant Managers sign a ₹1,00,000 bond and Junior Executives a ₹50,000 bond to serve CWC for at least two years, at the time of joining.
• Probation: all appointees join on probation under CWC regulations.
• All India cadre: selected candidates can be posted anywhere in India or abroad. New employees may have to spend a set initial period at field units such as warehouses, CFSs and ICDs.
• Posting locations: Annexure-III lists tentative stations in 31 States and UTs. In Andhra Pradesh alone, they include Vizag, Guntur, Vijayawada, Kakinada, Nellore, Ongole and Renigunta. No candidate is guaranteed a particular station, and canvassing for a posting can lead to disqualification.

8. Application Fee & Payment Modes

Unreserved, EWS and OBC candidates pay ₹1,350 (₹850 application fee + ₹500 intimation charges). SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and all women candidates are exempt from the application fee but still pay ₹500 in intimation charges. Both amounts include GST, are non-refundable, and must be paid online. Payment gateway charges are extra.

• Accepted modes: Debit Cards (RuPay, Visa, MasterCard, Maestro), Credit Cards, Internet Banking, UPI, IMPS, Cash Cards and Mobile Wallets.
• Not accepted: Demand Draft, Cheque or Postal Order.
• One fee per post: to apply for more than one post, you must submit a separate application and pay a separate fee for each.
• Duplicate applications: if you submit more than one application for the same post, only the latest completed application is kept and the fees paid for the others are forfeited.

9. Selection Process & Final Merit Calculation

Assistant Managers are selected through Online Test → Document Verification + Interview, with final merit weighted 85:15 between exam and interview. Junior Executives are selected through Online Test → Document Verification only, with merit based purely on the online test score.
