DGMA Management Support Associate 2026 — 30 Vacancies

DGMA Management Support Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways is building a merit-based panel of Management Support Associates (MSA) to work in its Mumbai offices. These are purely contractual office-support roles, and the notice values computer skills highly — it asks for working knowledge of MS Office, spreadsheets, data entry and email, and prefers people with experience in office automation, data management or record digitisation. The drive is open to graduates of any discipline, and the selection is on merit alone with no category-wise reservation. Women candidates are specifically encouraged to apply.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Nature of job: Purely contractual — no right to regularisation, absorption, permanent appointment, seniority or pension.
• Contract term: An initial one-year contract, which can be extended year by year up to three years if your performance is good and the competent authority approves.
• Place of posting: Mumbai. DGMA decides which of its Mumbai offices or units you are deployed to.
• Pay is all-inclusive: The monthly amount already covers mandatory deductions such as EPF, ESI, TDS and professional tax.
• No work from home: Office timings, attendance, leave and work allocation follow the contract; work from home applies only if authorised in writing.
• Confidentiality: Official records, data and login credentials stay confidential during and after the engagement.
• Verification: Your candidature stays provisional until your original documents and police verification are cleared. A domicile certificate is listed among the documents checked.
• Exam centres: The computer-based test will be held only in the Greater Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai region.
• No TA/DA: Nothing is paid for attending the test, interview, document verification or joining.
• Subject to change: DGMA says dates, the final number of posts, pay, exam cities and qualifying standards can change as the competent authority directs.
• Legal disputes: Any dispute over the exam result or final selection falls under the Bombay High Court.
