🎓 Discipline & Educational Qualification

Post-wise Qualification & Experience Details

Draughtsman Level (Post Codes 1–5)

Senior Draughtsman (Post Code 6)

Engineer Level (Post Codes 7–13)

Deputy Manager Level (Post Codes 14–20) — Minimum 5 Years Experience

Same disciplines as Engineer level. Candidates must have 5 years of post-qualification relevant experience.

Senior Manager Level (Post Codes 21–27) — Minimum 8 or 10 Years Experience

Same disciplines as above. Candidates with 8 or 10 years of experience may apply.

Assistant General Manager Level (Post Codes 28–34) — Minimum 12 or 15 Years Experience

Same disciplines as above. Candidates with 12 or 15 years of relevant experience may apply.

Important Notes on Qualification:

• Only full-time regular courses are acceptable (no distance/correspondence/part-time)
• 5-year integrated BE/B.Tech + ME/M.Tech dual degree is also acceptable
• Qualifications must be approved by UGC / AICTE / AIU
• One year of Apprenticeship Training (with COP) also counts as experience
• Only post-qualification experience is counted

Candidates must hold relevant Diploma or Degree in Engineering from a recognized institution. The key eligibility criterion is not just the degree but the domain-specific hands-on experience in design, drafting, or estimation work in industries like Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, or Fertiliser plants. Candidates with AutoCAD, STAAD-Pro, ETABS, PV Elite, or process simulation software experience have a clear advantage in the selection process.

📉 Minimum Qualifying Marks

The notification does not specify a minimum percentage of marks for educational qualifications. However, selection is merit-based through skill tests (for Draughtsman posts) and interviews (for Engineer and above posts). Candidates with stronger academic records and more relevant experience are likely to perform better in the selection process.

There being no set minimum marks, any candidate who is qualified with the specified degree from an authorized institution is eligible to apply. Nevertheless, competition will be tough for positions at higher levels of responsibility, and hence, it is recommended that candidates present any relevant experience and skills they might have.

🎂 Age Limit

Reference Date for Age Calculation: 01 May 2026

Age Relaxation:

• Reserved category candidates (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD) are eligible for age relaxation as per Government of India directives
• Only Class 10 (Std X) certificate will be accepted as proof of date of birth

Age relaxation provisions make this recruitment accessible to a wider pool of experienced engineering professionals, especially from reserved communities. Since the maximum age for AGM-level posts is 50 years, even mid-career professionals with 12–15 years of experience are well within the eligible range. All candidates must calculate their age as on 01 May 2026 to confirm eligibility before applying.

💰 Application Fee

It is not indicated that there would be any fee for applying to this recruitment drive in the official notice. It is recommended to verify the information from the official website www.fact.co.in about the payment of the fee before applying.

As a Central PSU, FACT generally adheres to the guidelines of the government in respect to the exemption of fees for reserved categories. Nevertheless, it is better to first go through the details on the official website.

⚙️ Selection Process

For Draughtsman & Senior Draughtsman (Post Codes 1–6):

• Skill Test in Engineering Drafting Software (practical/hands-on test)
• Candidates will be ranked based on marks scored in the skill test
• In case of a tie in marks, ranking will be decided by:
  1. More completed years of relevant experience
  2. Earlier year of passing the qualifying Diploma
  3. Earlier date of birth

For Engineer, Deputy Manager, Senior Manager & AGM (Post Codes 7–34):

• Interview — Selection based on marks scored in the interview

Additional Points:

• Management’s decision on eligibility, shortlisting, and selection mode is final
• Clearing the skill test or interview does not guarantee selection or panel inclusion
• Candidates must pass a pre-employment medical examination by FACT’s Medical Officer
• No relaxation in medical/physical standards will be given

The selection process is straightforward but competitive. Draughtsman candidates must be thorough with CAD drafting tools like AutoCAD, as the practical skill test directly measures their drafting ability. For Engineer and above posts, interview performance is the sole selection criterion, so candidates must be well-prepared on domain knowledge, industry standards, design codes, and software used in their respective disciplines.

📚 Examination Syllabus / Skill Test Pattern

For Draughtsman Posts (Skill Test):

The practical test will be conducted in Engineering Drafting Software. Based on the job profile, candidates should prepare on:

• AutoCAD 2D drafting (mandatory for all disciplines)

• Piping layouts, isometrics, key plans (Mechanical-Piping)
• Single Line Diagrams, power & earthing layouts (Electrical)
• Instrumentation engineering drawings and BOQ
• Civil general arrangement and structural drawings using CAD
• 3D modeling using Cardworx Plant (desirable for Mechanical-Piping)

• Design software: PV Elite, AME Tank (for Mechanical PCE)
• EHV/HV power distribution system design (Electrical)
• Instrumentation control systems and field instruments

There is no written exam for this recruitment. The skill test for Draughtsman posts is entirely practical and software-based, making it essential for candidates to be hands-on with AutoCAD and other relevant CAD tools. For senior engineering posts, deep knowledge of industry-specific standards, codes, and design practices is what will set candidates apart in the interview.
