This page has been rewritten to remove thin and duplicate content and to make the recruitment easy to understand for mobile users. The most important point is that candidates cannot apply for more than one post. Therefore, before filling the form, check your qualification and age carefully. Station Controller / Train Operator requires Diploma in Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Electronics or Electronics & Communication from a government recognized university or institute. Junior Engineer Electrical requires Diploma in Electrical Engineering. Junior Engineer Electronics requires Diploma in Electronics or Electronics & Communication Engineering. Maintainer posts require SSLC pass with two-year ITI in the relevant trade: Fitter, Electrician or Electronics. Where diploma is mentioned as essential, degree in the specified discipline is also eligible; however, degree cannot replace ITI where ITI is the essential qualification.
The vacancy distribution is practical for candidates. Station Controller / Train Operator has 89 posts, Junior Engineer Electrical has 4 posts, Junior Engineer Electronics has 38 posts, Maintainer Fitter has 22 posts, Maintainer Electrical has 129 posts and Maintainer Electronics has 101 posts. The largest number of seats is for Maintainer Electrical and Maintainer Electronics, while JE Electrical has very few seats and will likely be more competitive. The age limit is 18 to 28 years for SC/TO and Junior Engineer posts, and 18 to 25 years for Maintainer posts. Relaxation for SC, ST, SEBC, EWS, women and ex-servicemen will be as per Government of Gujarat rules and GMRCL notification.
Selection methodology differs by post. For Station Controller / Train Operator, the process includes written test, psycho aptitude test, document verification and medical examination in A-1 category. For Junior Engineers, the process includes written test, document verification and medical examination in A-1 category, not below A-3. For Maintainers, the process includes written test, document verification and medical examination in B-1 category. Medical standards are not a formality in metro rail recruitment; eyesight and fitness conditions matter because the work is linked with safety-sensitive railway operations. Candidates who have undergone LASIK surgery should read the medical standard clause carefully before applying.
The written test is OMR-based and in English. For SC/TO and JE posts, the test has 120 questions covering Technical Knowledge, Gujarati language, Logical Ability and Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude and General English. For Maintainer posts, the test has 100 questions with technical knowledge, Gujarati language, reasoning, quantitative aptitude and English. Gujarati language test is qualifying in nature and candidates must secure qualifying marks to be considered for selection. There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for wrong answer, unattempted question or multiple answers unless option E is used according to the instructions. This makes exam discipline important: read the OMR rule carefully, avoid random guessing and practice technical trade questions.
GMRCL posts are contract-based but important for candidates who want technical work in metro rail operations. Selected candidates may be posted at Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat or any other GMRCL project in Gujarat. The job profile involves shift duty, including night shifts. SC/TO duties may include station control, train operation, passenger assistance, control centre work and station operations. JE and Maintainer duties involve maintenance of electrical systems, rolling stock, signalling, telecom, AFC, traction, lifts, escalators, depots and other metro assets. Candidates should apply only if they are comfortable with shift operations, strict safety rules and medical standards.
During training/probation period, stipend is ₹18,000 per month for SC/TO and JE posts and ₹14,000 per month for Maintainer posts. After training, consolidated salary is ₹20,000 for SC/TO and JE and ₹16,000 for Maintainers, with IDA pay scales as applicable after successful completion according to notification conditions. A surety bond applies: ₹2,50,000 for SC/TO and JE, and ₹1,25,000 for Maintainers. Application fee is ₹600 for unreserved male candidates and ₹300 for SC/ST/SEBC/EWS/women/ex-servicemen candidates, exclusive of bank charges and service tax. Candidates should verify eligibility before paying because fee is non-refundable.
For user clarity, this updated page separates vacancy, qualification, age, fee, exam pattern, medical standards and how to apply into clean tables. Common mistakes to avoid include choosing the wrong post, assuming degree replaces ITI for Maintainer, ignoring Gujarati qualifying test, overlooking medical standards, and waiting until the fee deadline. Apply through OJAS/GMRCL career link, keep active email/mobile, scan photo and signature properly, pay fee before 31 May 2026 and keep the final application printout.
Candidate-friendly note: इस page को short notification की तरह नहीं, बल्कि form भरने से पहले की checklist की तरह लिखा गया है. Dates, fee, eligibility, selection stages, documents and avoidable mistakes एक ही जगह रखने का उद्देश्य यह है कि applicant को official PDF और apply portal के बीच बार-बार confuse न होना पड़े. Final decision लेने से पहले candidate को official notification में अपने category, age relaxation and qualification clause जरूर match करना चाहिए.
