UCSL Assistant Manager (Finance) Recruitment 2026: 1 Contract Post, Rs 49,500 Pay

UCSL Assistant Manager Finance Recruitment 2026 is for a single contract post, not a permanent job. Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited (UCSL) wants one Assistant Manager (Finance) for its unit at Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu. The seat is unreserved (UR). The contract runs for at most five years, with a fixed monthly pay of Rs 49,500 in the first year. Online applications run from 7 to 28 October 2026. You need an M.Com or B.Com with at least 60% marks, plus three or five years of finance and accounts work. The age limit is 30 years on 28 October 2026.

UCSL Assistant Manager Finance Recruitment 2026: a contract of up to five years at UCSL Chengalpattu

UCSL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. UCSL is based in Malpe, Karnataka, but this post is for UCSL Chengalpattu in Tamil Nadu. The notice adds that you may be sent to project sites or any UCSL unit in India or abroad.

The job is “temporary in nature” and lasts up to five years, subject to project needs and your performance. The notice also says UCSL is not bound to offer a job during or after the contract. UCSL may increase or reduce the vacancy, or cancel the process.

Persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) can apply if the disability is at least 40% and falls in one of these groups:

• low vision;
• deaf and hard of hearing;
• one arm, one leg, both legs, leprosy cured (without functional impairment), dwarfism, or acid attack victims (without other functional disability).

M.Com with 3 years or B.Com with 5 years, both at 60%

Experience is counted up to 28 October 2026. Only work done after passing the degree counts. If your university gives a CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) and no conversion rule, UCSL multiplies the grade points by 10 to get a percentage. Skills in SAP (business software for accounts and operations), MS Project and MS Office are listed as desirable, not essential.

Finance work at a port, shipyard or engineering firm, and how to prove it

The experience must be in finance and accounts. It can be from a shipbuilding or ship repair firm, a commercial establishment, a port or an engineering company. Government and semi-government companies or establishments also count. The notice also sets these rules:

• Paid training counts as experience, including apprenticeship in the relevant discipline under the Apprentices Act.
• Certificates must come from companies registered under the Companies Act 1956, or foreign companies of equal status.
• If you still work somewhere and have no experience certificate, upload your appointment or offer letter and latest pay slip (or a copy of your last pay drawn).
• For a past job, the certificate must show your joining and relieving dates.
• Experience through a contractor engaged by a registered company may be considered only if the principal employer endorses the certificate. Proof such as ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) or EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) statements must go with it.

Rs 49,500 to Rs 54,540 a month over the five contract years

The pay is a consolidated (fixed) amount each month. It rises every year of the contract:

On top of this, the notice lists Contributory Provident Fund, accident cover and reimbursement of medical expenses under the Contributory Medical Insurance policy, “as admissible”. It also lists a travel allowance of Rs 3,000 a month, as admissible. The notice gives no DA (Dearness Allowance) for this post.

Under 30 for most applicants, and never past 40 for PwBD or ex-servicemen

You must be born on or after 29 October 1996. PwBD candidates and ex-servicemen get age relaxation under Government of India rules. Even with every relaxation, the age limit cannot go above 40 years. The notice gives no minimum age.

A 50% pass mark in the 60-minute test, then a certificate check before the VN98 presentation

The test lasts 60 minutes and has 50 multiple-choice questions, one mark each. Ten marks are general knowledge and 40 are on the subject. There is no negative marking. You need at least 50% in the test to move on.

Those who pass bring original certificates for checking. Only candidates cleared at this stage give the presentation and interview. The test may be held at Chengalpattu, Malpe or another place UCSL picks. The presentation and interview may be at either unit or online. If two candidates tie, the subject part of the test decides first, then the older candidate ranks higher.

If many people apply, UCSL may shortlist from the certificates uploaded with the form. The rank list stays valid for up to 18 months from the date the last selected candidate reports, or until a fresh notice for the post comes out. With approval from the competent authority, it may also fill later vacancies during that time.

Checking for “In process” on the UCSL SAP portal after you pay

1. Read the User Manual and FAQ on the UCSL, Malpe careers page of cochinshipyard.in (or the careers page of udupicsl.com).
2. Complete the One Time Registration on the SAP online portal.
3. Fill in the application for Assistant Manager (Finance). Enter your exact percentage of marks.
4. Upload proof of age, qualification, experience, caste or disability (if any), and a recent passport-size colour photo. Missing uploads lead to rejection.
5. Pay the fee and submit. Then open “My Applications” and check that the status reads “In process”.
6. Save the registration number. You need it for any message to UCSL.

The fee is Rs 400 plus bank charges, paid online by bank card or internet banking. It is not refunded after you submit, even if you withdraw. SC, ST and PwBD candidates do not pay, with a valid certificate. The notice says not to send more than one application, and that a submitted application is final. The notice advises applying well before the last date to avoid heavy website traffic. Those applying on 28 October 2026 may get no technical help after 4 PM.

Queries go to career@udupicsl.com or the landline 0820-2538604. Call letters come only by e-mail or on the websites, and no travel allowance is paid for the selection.

UCSL’s Supervisor notice for diploma holders and its AGM, Manager and Deputy Manager notice are on the same Cochin Shipyard careers site. On 12 October 2026, both showed 28 October 2026 as their last date. Other PSU job listings, Tamil Nadu jobs and jobs for postgraduates are linked here.
