The Indian Coast Guard has announced offline applications for 03 vacancies in its technical and support category. The recruitment is open for Mechanical Fitter and MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff) posts under Group C, offering an opportunity for ITI holders and matric-passed candidates to work with one of India’s key maritime security agencies. The Coast Guard plays a vital role in safeguarding our coastline, and these posts are a part of its essential maintenance and support unit.
I’m sharing this update because such government opportunities often go unnoticed due to offline application requirements. Many skilled workers with ITI qualifications or entry-level job seekers do not track notifications regularly and miss the chance to work with a respected defence organisation. Getting positioned in the Indian Coast Guard is not only about job security; it also offers a disciplined work environment, steady career growth and the pride of supporting national security operations. This notification is especially useful for candidates from technical trade backgrounds looking for stable government employment.
