# BMC Plans Software-Based Randomisation for Engineer Transfers 2026-08-06T13:47:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation plans to introduce a software-based randomisation system for transferring sub-engineers, junior engineers and assistant engineers. The system is expected by October and will generate postings based on vacancies and existing transfer rules, with the aim of reducing discretionary decisions and human intervention. The Municipal Engineers’ Association welcomed the plan but sought a merit-based process using seniority, tenure, performance, experience and administrative needs. It also requested online publication of scores, merit lists and orders, along with choice options, a correction window and an appeal process. Allegations that engineers obtained preferred postings through influence have not been independently verified in the report. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: BMC, engineer transfers, municipal administration, transparency Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bmc-plans-software-based-randomisation-for-engineer-transfers/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
