Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI), a Schedule A Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, has released Notification No. 03/2026 titled “Recruitment of Experienced Professionals” for 28 executive posts – 9 on a regular basis and 19 on a fixed-term basis. Online applications opened on 25 August 2026 at 11:00 AM and the last date to apply is 23 September 2026 at 5:00 PM on the SECI careers portal at seci.co.in. The regular positions span IDA pay scales from E-1 (Rs. 40,000-1,40,000) to E-8 (Rs. 1,20,000-2,80,000). The fixed-term positions carry a 3-year initial engagement extendable up to 2 more years, with posting anywhere in India based on project requirements. A separate application with fee is required for each post if a candidate applies to more than one.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Four things about this recruitment that matter from the first click. First, regular and fixed-term positions carry different fees – Rs. 1,000 for Section A regular posts and Rs. 500 for Section B fixed-term posts; if you apply to one post from each section, you pay both fees separately. Second, SECI may revise the eligibility criteria upward or limit the shortlist based on marks or experience before calling candidates for any test or interview – meeting the minimum does not guarantee a call letter. Third, teaching experience is explicitly excluded from post-qualification experience counts across all posts; if your experience includes periods of academic or teaching work, those years do not count. Fourth, Government and PSU employees must apply through proper channel or produce a No Objection Certificate at the interview stage. Candidates who have previously been removed or terminated from SECI employment will not be considered.
