Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) has opened online applications for 108 Executive Trainee posts through its website dvc.gov.in. Candidates must have appeared in the corresponding paper of GATE 2025 and secured qualifying marks as decided by the GATE 2025 authority. The upper age limit is 29 years for unreserved candidates, with relaxation for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen as per government norms.

Shortlisting will be based on GATE 2025 marks out of 100 in a 1:5 ratio or more to vacancies, followed by document verification. Application fee is Rs 300 for General, OBC and EWS categories, while SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-SM and DVC departmental candidates are exempt. The last date to apply is 6 December 2026.
The notification locks the candidate pool to GATE 2025 qualifiers only, excluding anyone who appeared in later editions. With 108 posts spread across mechanical, electrical, civil, instrumentation and mining disciplines, the 1:5 shortlisting ratio means over 540 candidates could be called for document verification, creating a competitive bottleneck. The December 6 deadline gives applicants less than a month to prepare, and the application fee waiver for reserved categories matches standard government policy. DVC has not disclosed the pay scale or posting locations in this brief, leaving those details to the detailed notification.
