RCF Management Trainee Vacancy Details 2026

The 94 vacancies are distributed across 14 disciplines as shown below. Reservation for SC, ST, OBC (NCL) and EWS categories is applied vertically, while PwBD reservation is applied horizontally within these categories and is not an additional number over the discipline total.

Note: The number of vacancies is tentative and may increase or decrease at the discretion of RCF Ltd, in compliance with the presidential directives on reservation applicable at the time of appointment.

Educational Qualification

Each discipline has its own qualification pathway, generally allowing a regular 4-year engineering degree, or a 3-year engineering degree acquired after a diploma, or an equivalent dual/integrated degree, all from UGC or AICTE recognised institutions. The table below summarises the core requirement for each discipline; the full notification lists every accepted degree name and equivalent pathway in detail.

Wherever a degree carries a CGPA, OGPA or SGPA instead of a percentage, candidates must convert it to an equivalent percentage as per the norms of their university or institute and mention this in the application. Candidates in the final year of their qualifying degree are not eligible to apply.

Age Limit (As on 01.02.2026)

The upper age limit varies slightly by discipline and is generally 27 years for UR and EWS candidates, rising to 30 years for OBC (NCL) and 32 years for SC/ST candidates, with further variation for a few specialised disciplines such as Boiler, CC Lab and Materials. The following age relaxations apply on top of the base limit wherever a candidate is considered against a reserved post.

Application Fee

General, OBC (NCL) and EWS candidates are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of Rs. 1000, plus applicable bank charges and GST, through internet banking, debit card or credit card at the time of online submission. SC, ST, Ex-Servicemen, PwBD and female candidates are exempted from paying any application fee. The fee, once paid, will not be refunded under any circumstances, so candidates should confirm their eligibility before making payment.

Selection Process

Selection for RCF Management Trainee posts is based on a computer-based online test followed by a personal interview.

Online Test

The online test will be conducted at centres in Bhopal, Delhi/Delhi NCR, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Guwahati, Kolkata, the Mumbai/Navi Mumbai/Thane/MMR region, and Nagpur, in Hindi and English. The test runs for 90 minutes and carries 100 questions: 50 discipline-related questions worth two marks each, and 50 questions on General English, Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning and General Knowledge worth one mark each. There is negative marking for wrong answers, and candidates scoring nil or negative marks will not be called for interview.

Personal Interview

Based on online test performance and document verification, candidates will be shortlisted for interview in a ratio of approximately 1:7 per post. Candidates must secure a minimum average of 50% marks in the interview to qualify.

Final Merit List

Separate category-wise and discipline-wise merit lists will be prepared. Final selection is also subject to clearing document verification and a pre-employment medical examination as per RCF Ltd's medical standards.

Stipend, Pay Scale and Bond

Selected candidates will undergo one year of training and receive a lump sum stipend of Rs. 60,000 per month, along with free hostel accommodation if posted at Trombay or Thal, and medical facility at the RCF Hospital.

A bond amount of Rs. 2 Lakhs must be deposited as a fixed deposit with a lien marked to RCF Ltd, covering a 4-year period that includes the one-year training. Candidates unable to deposit the bond amount upfront can have it recovered through monthly deductions from their stipend. After the one-year training period, Management Trainees undergo a further probation period of 6 months before their appointment is confirmed.
