Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, has published the post-wise syllabus and a corrigendum to the exam pattern for its Management Trainee (MT) and Assistant Officer (AO) recruitment under Employment Notification No. 05/2026. The notification covers 77 posts: 45 MT and 32 AO. The online application window (31 August – 30 September 2026) is closed. All applicants who submitted the form with the fee (where applicable) will be called for the Computer Based Test (CBT).
The corrigendum makes one change: each CBT question will have 4 answer choices, not 5. Everything else in the notification stays the same. Below are the exam pattern, the syllabus for every post code and the selection process, all from the official notification and the CONCOR syllabus document. The CBT date and admit card will be published on concorindia.co.in, and we will add them here once the official notice is out.
