The Goa Housing Board (GHB), Porvorim, has invited applications for one post of Junior Engineer (Civil), Group C, under advertisement GHB/ADM/1606/2026 dated 28 September 2026. The single seat is reserved for the OBC category and carries Pay Level-5. If you hold a Degree or Diploma in Civil Engineering and know Konkani, this opening is worth a close look. For more openings like this, keep an eye on our Goa government jobs page.
There is no online form here. Your paper application must reach the Managing Director, GHB, by 21 October 2026, so posting it on the last day is risky. Because there is only one seat, read every condition below carefully before you spend money on documents and postage. This guide from GovtJobsAlert.in covers eligibility, age, pay, the documents list and each step of the offline process, using only what the advertisement actually says.
The Goa Housing Board’s office is at New Market Complex, Porvorim. This advertisement is short, one page, and fills just one post.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Organisation | Goa Housing Board (GHB), Porvorim |
| Advertisement No. | GHB/ADM/1606/2026 |
| Post | Junior Engineer (Civil), Group C |
| Total Vacancies | 1 (OBC) |
| Pay Scale | Level-5 |
| Mode of Application | Offline, to the Managing Director, GHB |
| Last Date (receipt) | 21 October 2026 |
| Job Location | Goa |
| Post | Category | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Engineer (Civil), Group C | OBC | 1 |
| Total | 1 |
The only seat is marked OBC. The advertisement does not list any seat for General, SC, ST or any other category. If you are not from the OBC category, understand clearly that there is no other seat on offer in this advertisement before you decide to apply.
| Type | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Essential (1) | Degree or Diploma in Civil Engineering from a recognized University / State Board or equivalent |
| Essential (2) | Knowledge of Konkani |
| Desirable | Knowledge of Marathi |
Both essential conditions must be met. A Diploma is enough, so diploma holders do not need a B.E. or B.Tech to apply. Knowledge of Konkani is essential, not optional. Marathi is only desirable, which means it can help you but its absence does not make you ineligible.
| Detail | Rule |
|---|---|
| Maximum age | Not exceeding 45 years |
| Relaxation | For Government servants and reserved categories, as per Government instructions or orders |
| Cut-off date | Last date of application (21 October 2026) |

The advertisement does not give a minimum age and does not state the number of years of relaxation. It only says relaxation follows Government instructions or orders. Work out your age on 21 October 2026, because your qualification and age are both judged on that date, not on the day you post the form.
The post is placed at Pay Level-5. That is the only pay detail printed in the advertisement. It does not give a basic pay amount, allowances or an in-hand figure, so we have not guessed one here.
The advertisement does not publish an exam pattern, syllabus, marking scheme or interview detail. It does, however, refer to two things:
| Stage | What the advertisement says |
|---|---|
| Examination | Clause 3 refers to candidates who have “passed the examination”; no pattern or date is given |
| Document verification | Shortlisted candidates’ essential documents are verified |
The advertisement does not say when or where examination details will be published, so keep checking the Board’s website.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Eligibility at verification | A shortlisted candidate found ineligible at document verification shall not be considered, even after passing the examination |
| Incomplete applications | Will be rejected |
| Late applications | Applications received after 21 October 2026 will be rejected |
| Government employees | Must send the application through proper channel |
| Cut-off date | Qualification, age limit and experience are counted as on the last date of application |
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Get the prescribed application format from the Goa Housing Board website (link in Essential Links) or the Government portal |
| 2 | Fill the form carefully in the prescribed format |
| 3 | Attach self-attested copies of the documents listed in the advertisement (see below) |
| 4 | The advertisement does not mention any application fee or payment mode, so no fee step is described here |
| 5 | Send the application to: The Managing Director, Goa Housing Board, Building ‘A’, 2nd Floor, New Market Complex, Porvorim, Bardez, Goa – 403521 |
| 6 | Make sure it reaches the Board by 21 October 2026; keep a copy and your postal receipt |
The documents listed in the advertisement are: Birth Certificate, Certificates of Qualification, 15 years Residence Certificate in the State of Goa, Employment Card, Aadhaar Card, Experience Certificate and Caste Certificate, followed by “etc.”. Since the only seat is OBC, your Caste Certificate matters most. The residence certificate is listed as a document to attach, so start arranging it early if you do not already have one. If you are already in Government service, route your form through your department.

If you are an OBC candidate with a Civil Engineering degree or diploma and you know Konkani, do not let this one seat slip past you.
