CCI Director and Office Manager Recruitment 2026

CCI Director and Office Manager Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Competition Commission of India (CCI), India's competition regulator under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, is filling posts in the Commission itself, across its economics, financial analysis and administration divisions. This is separate from the DG Office circular CCI issued on the same day. Every post is filled on deputation on foreign service terms, so you must already be a serving officer of a government department, autonomous body, regulatory authority, university or research institution.

Most posts are at CCI's headquarters in Kidwai Nagar (East), New Delhi, but one Office Manager (Corporate Services) post is at the Regional Office in Kolkata. Economists and statisticians from the IES and ISS, and finance professionals with a CA, CS or CWA background, have the most room here. These posts feed into how CCI analyses mergers, markets and pricing.

Posts and Disciplines

• Director (Economics): the senior economics post, for Group A officers, including the Indian Economic Service, with a Master's degree in Economics.
• Joint Director (Financial Analysis): for officers with an M.Com, an MBA (Finance), or a CA, CS or Cost and Works Accountant qualification; experience in financial analysis of competition issues is desirable.
• Deputy Director (Economics): for officers with a Master's in Economics or Statistics; IES and ISS officers are named in the notice.
• Deputy Director (Financial Analysis): for commerce and finance professionals with an M.Com, an MBA in Finance and Accounts, or a CA, CS or CWA qualification.
• Assistant Director (Corporate Services): an administration post for graduate officers from establishment, personnel management or secretarial streams.
• Principal Private Secretary: a senior secretarial post open to officers in an analogous post or to Private Secretaries with the required service.
• Office Manager (Corporate Services): office administration posts in New Delhi, one of them at the Kolkata Regional Office.
• Office Manager (Finance and Accounts): for graduate officers from budget, finance and accounts work.

Desirable for the economics and finance posts: experience in competition law. For the administration posts, CCI gives preference to higher qualifications and experience.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: deputation on foreign service terms for three years, subject to satisfactory performance.
• Rules that apply: DoPT's deputation instructions (OM No. 6/8/2009-Estt.(Pay II) of 17.06.2010) and the CCI service conditions in GSR 670(E) of 14.09.2009, both as amended.
• Medical: CGHS is not available to CCI officers; you get medical reimbursement under CCI's service rules instead.
• Housing: CCI is eligible for General Pool government accommodation.
• Clean forwarding only: conditional forwarding by your employer, or an application without the required documents and employer certificate, is rejected outright.
• Immediate release: apply only if your department can relieve you straight away on selection.
• Interaction: if the Selection Committee calls you for an interaction, no TA/DA is paid.
• No canvassing: canvassing in any form disqualifies you. CCI may also choose not to fill some or all of the posts, and the post count can change without notice.
