How to track official IRCON notifications

The single source of truth for IRCON recruitment is the official portal at ircon.org. Subscribe to email alerts there, follow the official IRCON social media handles, and bookmark this page for verified updates aggregated daily. We do not publish unverified rumours, leaked answer keys or unofficial cut-offs.

Important tips before you apply

  • Read the recruitment notification PDF end to end at least twice before you start filling the form — the eligibility cut-off date, document specifications and reservation clauses are easy to miss on a first read.
  • Keep scanned documents ready at the prescribed dimensions and file size before starting the application; many candidates lose hours fixing rejected uploads.
  • Cross-check your category claim with the issuing authority of your certificate — an old certificate may not satisfy the validity requirements of a Central Government recruitment cycle.
  • Save your registration number and password securely; the same credentials are reused for admit card download and result lookup later.
  • Start mock-test preparation early — IRCON examinations are time-bound and accuracy under pressure matters more than rote recall.
