What Is the Junior Engineer Salary in Goa?
The advertisement prints Level-5 only. It does not print basic pay in rupees, DA, HRA, or in-hand pay.
Under the 7th CPC matrix that Level-5 refers to, the starting basic is ₹29,200 (range ₹29,200–₹92,300). That matrix figure is the framework for Level-5; it is not restated as a rupee amount in this notice.
Indicative in-hand (illustrative, not an official GHB figure): with current central DA at 60% (effective 1 January 2026; last verified 28 September 2026) plus HRA/TA and minus NPS-style deductions, take-home often lands near ₹45,000–₹52,000 a month depending on the HRA station class used for Porvorim and on Goa’s own DA orders. Confirm the exact slip from the appointment order.
Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator for an indicative estimate. The official pay fixation in the appointment order prevails.
Hostel, canteen, transport and medical facilities are not specified in this advertisement.
What Is the Application Fee?
Not specified in the advertisement. The seven numbered instructions do not mention a demand draft, challan or online fee.
Do not pay anyone who claims a “processing fee” over the phone.
How to Apply?
Applications are offline only. There is no online portal named for this advertisement.
Download the prescribed application form from the Goa Housing Board JE Civil Advertisement PDF or from www.ghb.goa.gov.in / the Government portal, as the notice states.
Fill every field in BLOCK LETTERS in your own handwriting, as printed on the form. Do not add or delete items or shift an item to another page.
Paste a passport-size photograph and sign half on the photograph and half on the form, as the form instructs.
Enclose self-attested copies of the papers listed in the notice (see Documents below).
If you are already in Government service, send the form through proper channel.
Submit the completed form to:
Managing Director, Goa Housing Board, Building ‘A’, 2nd Floor, New Market Complex, Porvorim, Bardez, Goa – 403521
The form must reach that address by 21 October 2026. The notice does not name Speed Post or Registered Post as compulsory; what it does say is that applications received after the due date shall be rejected.
Suggested (not stated in the advertisement): post early enough that a delay in transit still leaves a buffer before 21 October 2026, and keep a photocopy of the signed form plus the postal receipt.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting until 21 October 2026 to post the form. The test is receipt, not the date on your envelope.
- Omitting the 15 years Residence Certificate in the State of Goa.
- Treating Konkani as optional because Marathi is listed as desirable.
- Applying as if the seat were unreserved, without an OBC certificate that matches the printed vacancy.
- A serving employee sending the form directly, instead of through proper channel.
- Using a free-format CV in place of the Board’s prescribed form.

How Are Candidates Selected?
The advertisement does not print a marks table, syllabus or exam date. It does say two things that fix the stages:
- Examination — clause 3 refers to a candidate who has “passed the examination”.
- Verification of essential documents — a shortlisted candidate found ineligible at verification “shall not be considered, even though has passed the examination.”
No interview stage is mentioned in the current advertisement. Physical standards are not specified in this notification.
Final appointment, if any, follows the Board’s recruitment rules after that verification. Exam city, paper pattern and negative marking are not specified.
Why Does This Housing Board Matter?
Goa Housing Board is the state housing body working from Porvorim on public housing and related estate work under the Government of Goa. A Junior Engineer (Civil) on this establishment supports the Board’s civil works, not a pan-India engineering service.
Candidates search this notice because it is a Level-5 Group C Civil seat inside a Goa government board, with Konkani and a long local-residence paper built into the form list. The honest limit is scale: one OBC vacancy, offline receipt at a single Porvorim address, and no printed exam calendar.
More housing-board context: /organisation/goa-housing-board/ · /sector/housing-urban-development/ · /state/goa/
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is a local board hire, not SSC JE. The closest tab most Civil diploma holders in Goa will have open is another state engineering seat (PWD / water resources / another Goa board), not a national CBT. Those other notices run on their own rules; this one is decided by GHB/ADM/1606/2026 alone.
Best fit: an OBC Civil diploma or B.E./B.Tech (Civil) holder who already has Konkani, a 15-year Goa residence certificate, and can get a complete paper file to Porvorim before 21 October 2026.
Skip it if you cannot show that residence certificate, you do not have Konkani, or you need an unreserved / multi-post national engineering exam rather than one reserved board seat.
Practical tip: Treat the residence certificate and OBC certificate as application-stage papers, not as something you will “bring later”. Clause 3 allows the Board to drop you after the exam if essential documents are missing.
What Documents Are Required?
The advertisement asks for self-attested copies with the form:
- Birth certificate
- Certificates of qualification
- 15-year residence certificate in the State of Goa
- Employment Card
- Aadhaar Card
- Experience certificate
- Caste certificate
- Other papers covered by “etc.” on the notice
The attached form also asks for proof of residential address, a photograph signed across the photo and the page, language proficiency (English, Konkani, Marathi, Hindi), education from SSC onwards, and a signed declaration.
Carry originals to verification. The notice does not print photocopier size or envelope wording.
What Happens After Selection?
Only the stages the advertisement actually supports:
- Appear in the examination when the Board notifies it (date not printed here).
- Attend verification of essential documents. Failing that check ends the candidature even after passing the examination.
- Appointment, if made, will follow Goa Housing Board recruitment rules and the appointment order.
Probation length, bond, posting-choice form and joining timeline are not specified in this advertisement.

FAQs – Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026
What is the last date to apply for Goa Housing Board Junior Engineer 2026?
21 October 2026. That is the last date for the form to reach the Managing Director at Porvorim. No extension is printed in Advertisement No. GHB/ADM/1606/2026 as of 29 September 2026.
What is the age limit for this Junior Engineer post?
Not exceeding 45 years as of 21 October 2026. Relaxation for Government servants and reserved categories follows Government instructions; the extra years are not printed. No minimum age is printed.
Is there an exam for this Junior Engineer post, or is it interview-based?
Yes, there is an examination. The notice refers to candidates who have “passed the examination”, then checks essential documents. No interview, and no paper pattern is printed.
What is the salary of a Junior Engineer in this Board?
Level-5 is printed. The notice does not print in-hand pay. Level-5 in the 7th CPC matrix starts at ₹29,200 basic; any take-home figure is only an indicative estimate until the appointment order.
Can final-year students apply?
The advertisement does not name final-year candidates. Qualification is counted as on 21 October 2026. If the diploma or degree is still incomplete on that date, do not assume eligibility.
Is this Junior Engineer post a permanent government job?
This is advertised as a Regular Group C post in Goa Housing Board. Regular appointments normally run on probation and confirmation under service rules. The notice itself does not use the phrase “permanent government job.”
Can candidates from other states apply?
The notice does not print an all-India open line. It lists a 15-year Residence Certificate in the State of Goa among the papers to attach. Without that certificate, treat the form as incomplete on the wording of this advertisement.
Where will I be posted if selected?
The Board’s address in this advertisement is Porvorim, Goa. District-wise posting choice is not printed. Expect work on the Board’s housing and civil projects in Goa; confirm the station from the appointment order.
Is Goa domicile enough, or is the 15-year residence certificate separate?
Worth knowing before you apply: the advertisement names a 15-year Residence Certificate in the State of Goa, not a generic “domicile” word. Use that exact certificate type if that is what you hold.
What are the disadvantages of this recruitment?
The trade-off is scale and filters. There is one OBC seat; Konkani is essential; the residence certificate is listed up front, and the exam calendar is not printed. If you want a large unreserved Civil list, this notice is the wrong file.
Is knowledge of Marathi compulsory?
No. Marathi is printed as desirable. Konkani is the essential language condition.
Is there an application fee?
Not specified in the advertisement. Do not pay a third party who claims a GHB processing charge.
