CMD Kerala Company Secretary and Assistant Manager 2026

CMD Kerala Company Secretary and Assistant Manager Recruitment 2026: Overview

Centre for Management Development (CMD), an autonomous institution under the Government of Kerala based in Thiruvananthapuram, is running this recruitment on behalf of a reputed public sector undertaking. It is filling one Company Secretary post and one Assistant Manager post, both on a three-year contract. The notice does not name the PSU, so read the full notification before you apply. If you are a qualified company secretary or an engineering graduate who wants a fixed-term role in a Kerala public sector company, this one is worth a look.

Posts and Disciplines

• Company Secretary: the corporate compliance role for the PSU. It is meant for members of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) who have already worked as a company secretary after qualifying.
• Assistant Manager: an engineering role open to graduates in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural or Marine Engineering. Candidates with an MBA or M.Tech, or with relevant work experience, get preference.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract: Appointment is on a contract basis for three years; it is not a permanent PSU post.
• Citizenship: Only Indian citizens can apply.
• Counting experience: For the Company Secretary post, only experience gained after you qualified is counted.
• Equivalent and foreign degrees: If your degree is an equivalent qualification, you need an equivalency certificate from the competent authority; foreign degrees need proof of acceptance in India from a competent authority or the Association of Indian Universities.
• Experience proof: Appointment letters, salary certificates and pay slips are not accepted as experience certificates. For your latest job only, you may upload an affidavit giving the employer, designation, period and duties.
• Certificates, not mark sheets: Upload the original or provisional degree certificate. Applications with only mark sheets or statements are rejected.
• Selection differs by post: Company Secretary candidates go from screening straight to interview, while Assistant Manager candidates may also face a written test or proficiency assessment if CMD decides it is needed.
• Right to change: CMD may change the number of posts, cancel the notification or stop the process without giving reasons.
