DMRC JE Civil 2026: Exam Pattern, Syllabus, Cut Off & Free Mock Tests
DMRC Junior Engineer (Civil) — Delhi Metro
DMRC Junior Engineer (Civil) puts you inside one of India's most admired engineering organisations — the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. Civil JEs maintain and extend the metro's viaducts, stations, tunnels and depots.
Two things make DMRC different: the diploma-only eligibility rule (B.E./B.Tech holders without a diploma are NOT eligible), and a two-paper written exam that includes a dedicated English paper.
