Mysore City Corporation UGD Helper 2026 — 116 Posts (Internal Only)

Mysore City Corporation UGD Helper Recruitment 2026 (116 Posts), Apply Offline by 09 October 2026 in Karnataka. Mysuru Mahanagara Palike (Mysore City Corporation, MCC) has released Notification No. C.E.S.T(5):C.R:03:2026-27 for a special, one-time recruitment of UGD Helper (Under Ground Drainage Helper) posts. This is a restricted, internal-only recruitment — it is not open to the general public. Only candidates already working in the Corporation on daily-wage, welfare, equal-pay-for-equal-work, contract, or outsourcing terms, performing UGD Helper-type duties for a minimum of 2 continuous years, are eligible to apply. Mysore City Corporation's UGD (Under Ground Drainage) network is maintained by a mix of regular staff and long-serving daily-wage or contract workers, and this one-time recruitment appears designed to regularise some of that existing workforce rather than bring in new hands — a pattern seen in several Karnataka municipal corporations dealing with legacy contract-labour situations. By restricting eligibility to staff already performing the work for at least 2 years and basing selection purely on service length rather than a competitive exam, the Corporation effectively rewards continuity of service over fresh competition, which is consistent with the special recruitment rules framed specifically for this UGD Helper cadre outside the Greater Bengaluru Authority area. Eligible internal candidates can submit applications in person at the MCC Central Office, Sayyaji Rao Road, Mysuru, from 10 September to 9 October 2026, 5:30 PM. Selected UGD Helpers will be placed in the pay scale of ₹27,000 to ₹46,675 per month. The selection process is purely merit-based on length of continuous qualifying service — there is no written exam or interview, with date of birth and lottery used as tie-breakers where service length is equal. This recruitment is governed by the Karnataka Municipal Corporations (Recruitment of Officers and Employees) Rules, 2011, and special 2026 UGD Helper recruitment rules for corporations other than the Greater Bengaluru Authority. No application fee has been mentioned in the notification. Candidates must read the complete official MCC notification PDF before applying, since candidates engaged through STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) or Wet Well contract arrangements are explicitly excluded from this recruitment, and applications must be submitted in person — postal or other submission channels are not accepted.

No separate educational qualification specified — eligibility is based on current MCC engagement (daily-wage/welfare/equal-pay/contract/outsourcing) performing UGD Helper-type duties, plus Kannada language proficiency

Minimum 18 years (as on date of government order), Maximum 55 years
