Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

Dredging Corporation of India will conduct a walk-in interview on 16 November 2026 at its Guwahati office to fill 11 contract posts. The company is hiring three Project Managers (Rs 50,000 to Rs 65,000 consolidated) and eight Hydrographic Surveyors (Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000 consolidated) under Advertisement No 05/2026 for Inland Dredging Works on National Waterways Projects. Candidates must be below 45 years as of the interview date and hold a diploma or bachelor's degree in civil or survey engineering. The Project Manager role requires six years of experience in civil or marine infrastructure work, while the Hydrographic Surveyor role needs one year in land or hydrographic surveys. Appointments are for three years on a yearly extension basis, and postings will be in West Bengal, Assam, or the northeast region.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

DCI is filling posts for specific inland waterways work, meaning the recruitment targets a niche skillset in dredging and hydrographic surveying. Candidates with diploma qualification can apply, broadening the pool beyond degree holders. The five-year age cap at 45 and consolidated pay range suggest these are experienced-hire contract roles, not entry-level. The application deadline is an interview date with no separate application window, so interested candidates must prepare documents and attend in person. The outcome depends entirely on how many turn up on 16 November and who meets the experience threshold.
