Online registration opens on 4 November 2026 and closes on 25 November 2026. The selection will involve an online test and interview, with the final result expected in February 2027. The vacancies include 16 regular posts and 1 backlog ST position. Candidates must hold a B.E. in Fire from the National Fire Service College or an equivalent degree, and have 2 to 3 years of relevant experience depending on qualification. The age limit is 21 to 40 years as on 31 October 2026. Application fee is Rs 750 for general, EWS and OBC categories, SC and ST candidates pay nil. ## Indian Opinion Analysis SBI’s move to fill 17 fire engineer posts, after what may have been a gap, signals attention to safety compliance across its branches. The backlog ST vacancy suggests past fulfilment gaps in reserved categories. With most vacancies in the unreserved category, competition will be stiff for general candidates. Candidates holding qualifications from the National Fire Service College or an equivalent four-year fire safety degree have a clear advantage, while those with lower-tier credentials need additional work experience. The online exam in December or January will be the first filter, followed by an interview that could tilt the final merit list. The key deadline is 25 November, after which applicants wait until February for the result. ## Coverage - bankersadda.com leads with notification detail, treats recruitment as routine process This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
