A few things worth knowing before you apply: there's no separate conveyance or HRA, though WAPCOS does reimburse actual travel costs and daily allowance if you're sent outside Delhi for work. You get 8 days of leave a year on a pro-rata basis (it doesn't carry forward), and you won't be entitled to residential telephone, accommodation, CGHS, or personal support staff. Income tax gets deducted at source as usual, and WAPCOS issues a TDS certificate.
How to Apply
- Fill out the application in the format given in Annexure-D, attaching self-attested copies of your educational certificates (from Matriculation onwards) and work experience certificates.
- Seal it in an envelope marked "APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF: [your stream]".
- Send it to reach General Manager (HR), WAPCOS Limited, 76-C, Institutional Area, Sector-18, Gurugram-122015, on or before 8 October 2026.
- Only shortlisted candidates get contacted (by email) for an interview - bring your original documents when you're called.
Good to Know
- This isn't a regular job - it's a panel empanelment valid for 1 year, and WAPCOS engages Young Professionals from this panel "as and when required." There's no guarantee of immediate engagement just because you're empanelled.
- No TA/DA is paid for attending the interview.
- Applications that arrive incomplete or after the deadline won't be considered, and WAPCOS won't take responsibility for postal delays.
- Selected candidates will need to submit integrity certificates from two known references, plus a self-declaration confirming no pending criminal case against them.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
WAPCOS is one of India's largest water and infrastructure consultancy PSUs, working on projects across irrigation, hydropower, water supply, and urban infrastructure both in India and abroad. For law, finance, engineering, and mass communication graduates in the early years of their career, this Young Professional track offers direct exposure to how a major Central PSU runs its legal, financial, and contract operations - useful experience whether or not you stay on beyond the initial year.
