NALCO Non-Executive Recruitment 2026 – 268 Posts via IBPS
National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), one of India's largest integrated aluminium producers and a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Mines, has released its Non-Executive recruitment notification for 2026. A total of 268 posts across Supervisor (JOT) and Junior Foreman grades are open for applications — and the entire process is managed by IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection) through its dedicated portal. Advertisement No. is 10260213.
If you have an engineering diploma or a relevant ITI qualification and want a secure PSU job in Odisha, this is a solid opportunity. Salary scales are decent — T0 and S0 grades mean you're on the non-officer pay ladder, but with NALCO's perks and permanency, it's a reliable long-term career.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is NALCO a good company to work for?
Yes. NALCO is a Navratna PSU — that means strong job security, government-linked salaries, and good benefits (medical, HRA, LTC, PF, gratuity). Its aluminium smelter and refinery complex in Odisha is one of the largest in Asia. Non-executive employees get steady increments within their grade and can look at departmental promotion over time.
Q: What is the difference between Supervisor (JOT) and Junior Foreman?
Both are non-executive roles, but on different pay grades. Junior Foreman sits in the S0 grade (₹36,500–₹1,15,000) — typically shop-floor supervisory work. Supervisor (JOT — Junior Officer Trainee) is in T0 grade (₹29,500–₹70,000) — a trainee-level entry that typically leads to a technical officer role after the training period. Check the official notification for exact duties per post.
Q: Why is IBPS conducting NALCO's exam?
NALCO outsources its non-executive written test to IBPS for standardised, transparent examination. IBPS is well-known for banking exams but also conducts recruitment tests for several PSUs. The IBPS portal (ibpsreg.ibps.in/nalconeapr26/) is where you apply and download admit cards.
Q: What is the application fee for OBC candidates?
₹100. OBC (NCL) candidates pay ₹100 — same as General/EWS. SC, ST, PwBD, and Women candidates are fully exempted from the fee.
Q: Where is the NALCO work location?
NALCO's primary operations are in Odisha — Damanjodi (aluminium refinery) and Angul (smelter complex). Postings will depend on the post and department applied for. The official notification specifies posting locations — check before applying if location preference matters to you.
