Candidates now have until the Last Date of 01st March 2026 to completely submit their online application forms and finalize their online fee payments. The corporation will subsequently announce the dates for the issuance of Hall Tickets (Admit Cards) and the official schedule for the Computer Based Test (CBT) on their portal.

The age criteria for the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation Bharti 2026 are structured according to the standard Maharashtra State Government recruitment guidelines. The minimum age required to apply for any post is generally 18 years. The maximum upper age limit for unreserved (General) category candidates is strictly capped at 38 years. However, substantial age relaxations are provided to ensure equal opportunities.

Additionally, Persons with Disabilities (PwD), Ex-Servicemen, and outstanding sportspersons are entitled to further age relaxations as per prevailing state rules. The exact crucial date for calculating the age limit is heavily detailed in the official PDF notification.

Because the NMMC Group A, B, and C Vacancy 2026 covers a vast spectrum of administrative, technical, and medical roles, the educational qualifications vary heavily from post to post. For Technical Cadre posts like Junior Engineer (Electrical/Mechanical), candidates must hold a full-time Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree (B.E/B.Tech) in the respective engineering discipline from a recognized University or AICTE-approved institution. For Administrative posts like Assistant Commissioner and Municipal Deputy Secretary, a regular Bachelor’s Degree in any stream with prior administrative experience in government/semi-government bodies is required. For the Assistant Law Officer post, an LLB degree with valid registration under the Bar Council and court practice experience is mandatory. For the Health Cadre posts (Group A) such as Surgeons, Gynecologists, and Intensivists, applicants strictly must possess an MBBS degree coupled with a Post Graduate Degree (MD/MS) or Diploma in the relevant medical specialty, along with valid registration with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC). Knowledge of the Marathi language (reading, writing, and speaking) is compulsory for all posts.

The selection methodology for the NMMC Group A, B, and C Jobs 2026 is highly transparent and rigorously competitive. For the majority of the Group B and Group C administrative/technical posts, the primary selection hurdle will be a Computer Based Test (CBT) / Written Examination. The CBT will feature objective-type multiple-choice questions assessing General Knowledge, Marathi Grammar, English Grammar, Intellectual Test (Reasoning), and Subject-Specific Technical knowledge. Candidates scoring above the minimum cut-off marks will be shortlisted in a merit list. For highly specialized Group A posts (like Medical Officers and Assistant Commissioners), the selection may directly involve Shortlisting based on academic pedigree followed by a Personal Interview. All provisionally selected candidates must successfully clear a stringent Document Verification (DV) round and a Medical Fitness Test before the final appointment orders are drafted.
