CMD Kerala Green Marshal Recruitment 2026 Notification Out - Apply Online for 162 Posts

The 162 vacancies are distributed across all 14 districts of Kerala. Candidates must indicate one district of preference while applying, and will be considered only against vacancies in that district. Destination-wise numbers within a district are not separately fixed; more than one Green Marshal may be deployed at a single destination based on operational requirements. Selected candidates may be deployed at any proposed tourism destination within their chosen district. However, based on operational requirements, tourist importance, and visitor demand, the Directorate of Tourism/CMD reserves the right to deploy or re-deploy candidates to any tourism destination in any district of Kerala, and candidates must be willing to serve anywhere in the state as directed.

Applicants must be citizens of India and must satisfy themselves that they meet all eligibility conditions before applying. A valid personal mobile number and email ID must be maintained throughout the recruitment process. Any claim of equivalency, alternative qualification, relaxation, or other eligibility based on a Government Order, notification, circular, or regulation must be specifically claimed and substantiated by the applicant at the time of submitting the online application, with the relevant supporting document uploaded along with the application.

The minimum educational qualification required for Green Marshal Recruitment 2026 is SSLC Pass (or equivalent qualifying examination).

As on 01.09.2026, candidates must be a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of 45 years of age. Candidates are advised to check whether they satisfy the prescribed age limit before applying. Use our online Age Calculator to calculate your exact age instantly.

Selected candidates will be paid ₹810 per day, payable on the basis of actual attendance/days engaged, subject to applicable deductions and rules. The engagement is purely temporary and for one year, and does not confer any right or claim to regular appointment, permanent employment, continuation, renewal, or absorption in the Directorate of Tourism, CMD, or Government service.

Shortlisting is done district-wise based on the percentage of marks obtained in the SSLC/equivalent qualifying examination, subject to eligibility and document verification. Percentage is calculated as Marks Obtained ÷ Maximum Marks × 100, system-calculated from the marks entered and verified against original documents. Final selection is based on the candidate’s performance in an interview/proficiency assessment conducted by the Directorate of Tourism. Where two or more candidates have the same SSLC percentage, preference is given to local residents of the district, subject to production and verification of valid residence proof. Where SSLC percentages are equal and local preference does not resolve the tie, the older candidate (based on date of birth) ranks higher.

The applicant must be physically fit to perform Green Marshal duties. The competent authority may require a medical fitness certificate/examination before engagement, where necessary. Selected candidates shall abide by the duty schedule, reporting arrangements, and deployment directions issued by the competent authority. The Directorate of Tourism/CMD reserves the right to revise the number of vacancies, modify or cancel the notification, or discontinue the recruitment process, subject to administrative requirements.

Applicants must upload clear and legible documents as prescribed in the online application. Original/provisional qualification certificates and supporting documents must be produced when required for verification. Information entered in the application must match the original documents. False, fabricated, tampered, or suppressed information will result in rejection or cancellation of candidature/engagement. CMD/the Directorate of Tourism reserves the right to seek additional documentary evidence to verify qualification, age, residence, experience, or other eligibility claims. Incomplete, incorrect, or unverifiable applications may be rejected. Information furnished after final submission will not ordinarily be entertained.

Applications are accepted online only, within the prescribed period of 5th to 11th September 2026. Submission of an application does not confer any right to selection or engagement. Candidates should apply well in advance and ensure all information matches their original documents. A valid personal mobile number and email ID must be maintained throughout the recruitment process for communication.
