SMPK Sr Asst Secretary Official Language Recruitment 2026

SMPK Senior Assistant Secretary Recruitment 2026: Overview

Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK), earlier known as the Kolkata Port Trust, is filling a Senior Assistant Secretary (Official Language) post in the General Administration Department of its Kolkata Dock System (KDS). This is a regular post filled through direct recruitment, and the port notes that the designation may be renamed later.

The job is built around the port's Hindi official-language work — the experience the notice looks for is in Hindi terminology and English–Hindi translation, or in Hindi teaching, research, writing or journalism. If you hold a postgraduate degree in Hindi and have worked with the language for years, this is an uncommon chance to join the Kolkata Dock System in a language-focused role.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Unreserved post: The vacancy is in the UR (unreserved) category, so every candidate who meets the eligibility competes for it.
• PwBD suitability: The post is identified as suitable for persons with benchmark disabilities, but it is not explicitly reserved for them. Suitable groups include blind and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, several locomotor disabilities (one or both arms, one or both legs, cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims, muscular dystrophy) and mental illness.
• Functional needs: The work involves sitting, reading and writing, seeing, communication and fine finger movement.
• Recognised degrees only: Your degrees must come from a UGC-recognised university or an AICTE-approved institute, and you must already hold valid mark sheets and certificates for your qualification and experience on the cut-off date.
• Provisional vacancy: The vacancy figure is indicative and may change, and the port keeps the right not to select anyone.
• One application only: If you send more than one, only your latest complete application is kept.
• Scribe rules: Visually impaired PwBD candidates whose writing speed is affected can bring their own scribe at their own cost. You must say so in the application with supporting papers, one scribe can help only one candidate, and both of you sign an undertaking. If the scribe is caught answering on their own, your candidature is cancelled.
• Test venue: The written test and personal interview take place in Kolkata; the port will announce the schedule later.
