SPMCIL Recruitment 2026 (Advt No. 02/2026) — Deputy Manager & Assistant Manager, 24 Posts

Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL) — the PSU that runs Currency Note Press Nashik along with India's other currency presses and mints — has invited online applications for 24 executive posts: 1 Deputy Manager (IT) and 23 Assistant Managers across HR, Finance & Accounts, Materials Management, IT, Official Language and Safety, under Advertisement No. 02/2026. Graduates and postgraduates holding the specific professional qualification each post demands are eligible, and the online application deadline has been extended to 31 August 2026.

Who Should Apply

• B.E./B.Tech (CS/IT/ECE) with 3 years' application-development experience — Deputy Manager (IT), 1 post
• Master's/PG Diploma in HR or Personnel Management — Assistant Manager (HR), 4 posts
• B.Com plus CA or ICWA — Assistant Manager (Finance & Accounts), 9 posts
• Engineering degree plus a PG qualification in Materials/Supply Chain Management — Assistant Manager (Materials Management), 4 posts
• MCA or B.Tech (Computer Engineering/IT) — Assistant Manager (IT), 2 posts
• Master's in Hindi or English with translation experience — Assistant Manager (Official Language), 1 post
• Engineering/science degree or diploma plus an Industrial Safety qualification — Assistant Manager (Safety), 3 posts

Eligibility & Age Limit

Each of the 7 post types has its own qualification — a general degree alone does not make you eligible for most of them. Deputy Manager (IT) needs a first-class engineering degree in a computing discipline plus 3 years of hands-on development experience. Assistant Manager posts each need a specific postgraduate or professional qualification: HR needs a Master's/PG diploma in HR; Finance & Accounts needs a B.Com combined with CA or ICWA; Materials Management needs an engineering degree plus a PG qualification in supply chain/materials; IT needs an MCA or computing B.Tech; Official Language needs a Hindi or English Master's with translation experience; and Safety needs an engineering/science degree or diploma plus an Industrial Safety qualification. Maximum age is 35 years for Deputy Manager and 30 years for every Assistant Manager post, with standard government relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates. [VERIFY exact relaxation figures against the notification PDF, as post-specific variations weren't confirmed from the sources checked.]

Salary & Pay Scale

Deputy Manager (E-2 grade) carries an IDA pay scale of ₹50,000-1,60,000; Assistant Manager (E-1 grade) carries ₹40,000-1,40,000 — both under the Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) pattern SPMCIL uses, rather than the central government 7th CPC pay matrix. Actual gross pay will include DA and other PSU-standard allowances on top of basic pay.

Application Fee

₹1,000 for General/EWS/OBC candidates; ₹200 for SC/ST/PwBD candidates, payable online.

How to Apply

1. Go to the SPMCIL recruitment portal at test.cbexams.com/EDPSU/SPMCIL/SPM/ (linked from spmcil.com).
2. Register with your basic details to generate a login.
3. Fill in the application form for your chosen post, entering education and experience details exactly as per your certificates.
4. Upload your scanned photograph, signature, hand-written declaration, and educational/experience certificates.
5. Pay the application fee online and submit before 31 August 2026 (17:00 Hrs).

How Are Candidates Selected

Candidates first appear for an Online Examination covering post-specific professional knowledge along with aptitude and reasoning. Those who qualify move to an Interview, and the final merit list weighs the written exam and interview 75:25. Document verification of educational and experience certificates follows before final selection.

Why This Job Matters

SPMCIL is the Government of India PSU that prints the country's currency notes, security documents and coins, operating Currency Note Press Nashik, India Security Press Nashik, Bank Note Press Dewas, Security Printing Press Hyderabad, and mints in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Noida. These are officer-cadre (E-1/E-2) corporate posts rather than unit-specific technician roles, so selected candidates can be posted to any of these locations — a genuinely national posting pattern for a PSU with a critical, non-outsourceable function.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: postgraduates or professionally-qualified graduates (CA/ICWA, MBA, MCA) who want a PSU officer-cadre role with an IDA pay scale that can outgrow typical central-government Level-7/8 pay, and who don't mind being posted to any SPMCIL unit nationally. Who should think twice: this notification demands a specific professional qualification per post — a general degree alone won't make you eligible for most of these 24 posts. Practical tip: the deadline has already been extended once, from 24 to 31 August 2026 — don't assume a further extension; get your documents and fee payment done well before 31 August rather than waiting for the last day.

Documents Required

• Educational certificates for the qualification claimed (degree/PG/professional certification such as CA/ICWA)
• Experience certificates matching the years and domain required for the post
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD), if applicable
• Recent photograph, signature and a hand-written declaration in the prescribed format
• Valid photo ID and proof of date of birth

Common Questions

Is this the same as the Currency Note Press Nashik recruitment for Junior Technician/Supervisor (534 posts)?

No. That was a separate, unit-specific notification (Advt No. CNPN/HR/Rect./01/2026) whose application window closed on 3 June 2026 and whose exam was already held in mid-August 2026. This posting — Advt No. 02/2026 — is a separate, corporate-level officer-cadre recruitment for Deputy Manager and Assistant Manager posts, open until 31 August 2026.

What is the extended last date to apply?

31 August 2026 (5:00 PM). The original deadline was 24 August 2026 before SPMCIL extended it.

Will I be posted at Currency Note Press Nashik specifically?

Not necessarily. Selected candidates can be posted at any SPMCIL unit — the currency/security presses at Nashik, Dewas or Hyderabad, the mints at Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad or Noida, or the corporate office. [VERIFY your specific likely posting with SPMCIL directly, as this wasn't broken down by post in the sources checked.]

What is the application fee?

₹1,000 for General/EWS/OBC candidates and ₹200 for SC/ST/PwBD candidates.

Is there a service bond?

Yes, selected candidates must execute a ₹3,00,000 bond for a minimum 3-year service commitment.

What is the selection process?

An Online Examination followed by an Interview, with the final merit computed on a 75:25 weightage, followed by document verification.
