OFT Tiruchirappalli Recruitment 2026 Overview

Vacancy Details

Specialist / Expert Eligibility

The Specialist II vacancies are meant for experienced professionals in areas such as automation, artificial intelligence, industrial engineering, inspection automation and technical product development.

Because the detailed qualification and experience conditions differ by specialist post, candidates should match the exact requirement shown in Advertisement No. 7150/R&D Expert/Estt/2026 before applying. Do not assume that a general engineering or technology degree automatically qualifies for every specialist role.

Use the Regal Naukri Eligibility Pre-check after opening the official AWEIL advertisement to compare your degree, specialisation and experience with the selected post.

Junior Translation Officer Eligibility

For Junior Translation Officer, the notified qualification routes include a Master’s degree in Hindi or English with the other language studied as an elective/compulsory subject or used as the medium of examination at degree level, according to the detailed advertisement.

The role also requires the prescribed translation qualification or translation experience and working knowledge of office software as stated in the notification.

The maximum age shown for JTO is 45 years.

Hindi Typist Eligibility

Hindi Typist requires 10+2 or equivalent and the prescribed Hindi typing speed of 30 words per minute on computer.

Working knowledge of office automation and MS Office is relevant to the role. The maximum age shown for the Hindi Typist post is 35 years.

Candidates can use the Regal Naukri Age Calculator to calculate their age before comparing it with the exact post-specific cut-off in the official advertisement.

Application Deadlines

The two advertisements use different deadline rules.

Because the Employment News publication is dated 10 October 2026, candidates should not treat one calculated date as a substitute for the official wording. Submit well before the outer receipt window and check the AWEIL Careers page for any clarification or extension.
