⚠️ Application Alerts

Who Should Apply?
Any one of the three routes below covers all 8 Honorary Coach seats. The sport on the certificate or experience must match the seat you pick.
- NIS or equivalent degree, or the Sports Authority of India 6-month course at Gandhinagar, plus at least 1 year as a coach → Honorary Coach (any of the 8 sports) – 8 posts
- C.P.Ed / D.P.Ed / M.P.Ed, and physically fit as a physical education teacher → Honorary Coach (any of the 8 sports) – 8 posts
- HSC (12th) pass, plus national or state participation in that sport, or 2 years as a coach → Honorary Coach (any of the 8 sports) – 8 posts
National or state medal winners in any one of these sports get priority in selection. That is a selection preference, not a reserved quota.
Who cannot apply: a candidate above the printed maximum of 50 years, or a candidate who meets none of the three routes. The advertisement does not print a Gujarat domicile bar.
Because the notice uses “equivalent” for NIS, a candidate whose diploma is outside the named courses should get written confirmation from SMC rather than assume equivalence.
Use our Experience Calculator if you are counting the 1-year or 2-year coaching spell against the last date.

What Is the Age Limit?
| Candidate | Maximum age |
|---|---|
| All applicants | 50 years |
The advertisement does not print extra years for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, women, PwBD or ex-servicemen. Use the printed ceiling only. It also does not print the date on which age is counted.
Examples: ✅ A 49-year-old candidate is within the printed maximum of 50 years. ❌ A 51-year-old candidate is not eligible (exceeds the printed maximum by 1 year).
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.
What Is the Remuneration?
The advertisement prints a fixed honorarium of ₹10,000 per month. It also says no other allowance or financial benefit of any kind will be paid on top of that figure.
That ₹10,000 is the full monthly amount named in the notice, not a basic pay to which DA or HRA is added. Nothing in the advertisement mentions pension, NPS, provident fund, medical cover or leave encashment. Do not assume those benefits unless the engagement order separately provides them.
The engagement is for 11 months. Renewal is not stated.
What Is the Application Fee?
No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement. Do not pay anyone who asks for a fee against this notice.
How to Apply?
The form is not open on 05 October 2026. It opens on 15 October 2026 at 11:00 AM and closes on 24 October 2026 at 11:00 PM.
- Open the Surat Municipal Corporation website on or after 15 October 2026 at 11:00 AM. Go to the jobs or recruitment section and open Advertisement No. P.R.O./263/2026-27. No separate application URL is printed in the notice.
- Register with email and mobile number. Verify the mobile number with the OTP. Keep that number. The interview SMS goes there.
- Fill in personal details, education, experience and the sport. Upload the photograph and signature in the sizes printed in the application instructions in the same PDF: photo JPG/JPEG/PNG, maximum 150 KB, 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm; signature in black or blue ink on white paper, JPG/JPEG/PNG, maximum 50 KB, 2.5 cm × 7.5 cm. Use our Photo & Signature Resizer before uploading.
- Upload the certificates that support the route you claimed, including the equivalence order if you are using an “equivalent” to NIS.
- Read the declaration, confirm the form, and save the confirmation. After confirmation, details, photo and signature cannot be changed.
Suggested (not stated in the notification): submit at least a day before 24 October 2026, 11:00 PM, so an OTP or upload failure does not hit the closing minute.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the page as live before 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM, or waiting until the evening of 24 October 2026.
- Changing the mobile number after registration. The advertisement says SMC is not responsible for a missed SMS.
- Filing a second form and expecting both to stay in the pool. Only the last confirmed application for that post is considered.
- Claiming an NIS-equivalent qualification without the equivalence order.
- Editing the photo or signature after confirmation. The notice does not allow that change.
SMC સુરત સ્પોર્ટ્સ કોચ ભરતી 2026 – 8 પદ માટે ઑનલાઇન અરજી
સુરત મ્યુનિસિપલ કોર્પોરેશને નવાગામ, ડિંડોલીના દક્ષિણ-પૂર્વ ઝોનના નવા સ્પોર્ટ્સ કોમ્પ્લેક્સ માટે ૮ માનદ કોચની કરારભરતી જાહેર કરી છે. ટેબલ ટેનિસ, બેડમિન્ટન, વોલીબોલ, ખો-ખો, કબડ્ડી, જુડો, કરાટે અને જિમમાં એક-એક જગ્યા છે. માસિક માનદ વેતન ₹૧૦,૦૦૦ નિશ્ચિત છે. બીજું કોઈ ભથ્થું નથી. ઑનલાઇન અરજી ૧૫ ઑક્ટોબર ૨૦૨૬, સવારે ૧૧ વાગ્યાથી ૨૪ ઑક્ટોબર ૨૦૨૬, રાત્રે ૧૧ વાગ્યા સુધી ખુલ્શે.
કોણ અરજી કરી શકે? ત્રણ માર્ગમાંથી એક પૂરતો છે. NIS અથવા સમકક્ષ ડિગ્રી, અથવા ગાંધીનગરની સ્પોર્ટ્સ ઓથોરિટી ઓફ ઈન્ડિયાનો ૬ મહિનાનો કોર્સ, અને ઓછામાં ઓછો ૧ વર્ષનો કોચિંગ અનુભવ. અથવા C.P.Ed / D.P.Ed / M.P.Ed અને શારીરિક શિક્ષણ શિક્ષક તરીકે શારીરિક રીતે ફિટ. અથવા HSC (૧૨મું) પાસ અને તે રમતમાં રાષ્ટ્રીય કે રાજ્ય કક્ષાની ભાગીદારી, અથવા ૨ વર્ષનો કોચિંગ અનુભવ. મહત્તમ ઉંમર ૫૦ વર્ષ છે.
પગાર અને કરાર શું છે? જાહેરાતમાં ₹૧૦,૦૦૦ પ્રતિ મહિને નિશ્ચિત માનદ વેતન છાપ્યું છે. તેની ઉપર બીજો ભથ્થો કે નાણાકીય લાભ નહીં મળે. કરાર ૧૧ મહિનાનો છે. રાહત યાદી પણ તૈયાર થશે. આ નિયમિત મ્યુનિસિપલ પગાર ધોરણની નોકરી નથી.
અરજી કેવી રીતે કરવી? ફોર્મ ૧૫ ઑક્ટોબર ૨૦૨૬ પહેલાં ખુલ્લું નથી. suratmunicipal.gov.in પર જાહેરાત નંબર P.R.O./263/2026-27 ખોલીને અરજી કરો. મોબાઇલ નંબર એ જ રાખો જેના પર ઇન્ટરવ્યુનો SMS આવશે. NIS સમકક્ષ દાવો હોય તો સમકક્ષતાનો આદેશ સાથે જોડો.
પસંદગી કેવી રીતે થશે? લેખિત પરીક્ષાનો ઉલ્લેખ નથી. દસ્તાવેજ ચકાસણી અને વોક-ઇન ઇન્ટરવ્યુની તારીખ અને સ્થળ SMSથી જણાશે. મુસાફરી ખર્ચ પોતે ભોગવવો પડશે. રાષ્ટ્રીય કે રાજ્ય કક્ષાએ ચંદ્રક મેળવનારને પસંદગીમાં અગ્રતા છે. વિગતો www.suratmunicipal.gov.in પર છે.
How Are Candidates Selected?
No written exam is mentioned in this advertisement. Selection is document verification and a walk-in interview, then a decision by the Staff Selection Committee.
- Submit and confirm the online form between 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM, and 24 October 2026, 11:00 PM.
- Wait for the SMS that gives the document verification and walk-in interview date and venue. Travel is at your own cost. No travel allowance is provided.
- Carry originals, one attested set, a photograph, and the registration printout. A gap between the online claim and the certificates can cancel the application and can cancel selection if already made.
- The Staff Selection Committee prepares the final selection and the waiting list. National or state medal winners get priority. A document discrepancy can remove a name from the waiting list.
No interview date is printed. Fake or tampered documents can lead to rejection and to cancellation of appointment at any stage. No claim to accept a qualification on a provisional basis will be accepted.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is an 11-month honorary coaching engagement at one Surat complex, not a municipal-scale appointment. The decision point is the printed ₹10,000 and the three entry routes, including an HSC route with national or state participation or two years of coaching. A candidate comparing it with a regular physical-education teacher post is looking at a different kind of engagement. This notice does not set that comparison.
Best fit: a coach already working in Table Tennis, Badminton, Volleyball, Kho-Kho, Kabaddi, Judo, Karate or Gym in Surat, who can show one of the three routes and can attend a walk-in at Navagam, Dindoli.
Skip this one if you need a regular pay scale, pension or a posting outside this complex. The advertisement does not offer those.
Practical tip: Register only after 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM, on the number you will still have when the SMS arrives, and keep the school-leaving certificate, marksheets and coaching certificate in one set for that call.
What Documents Are Required?
Carry originals and one attested set to the SMS venue. Upload copies with the form where the portal asks.
- School leaving certificate
- Marksheets for the route you claim (NIS or equivalent, SAI Gandhinagar 6-month course, C.P.Ed / D.P.Ed / M.P.Ed, or HSC)
- Coaching experience certificate for the 1-year or 2-year route
- National or state participation or medal proof, if you claim that route or the priority
- Equivalence order, if the qualification is claimed as equivalent to NIS
- Photograph and signature in the sizes printed in the application instructions
- Print of the confirmed registration
A certificate you cannot produce for a detail filled online can cancel the application.
What Happens After Selection?
- The Staff Selection Committee finalises the selected list and a waiting list from this recruitment.
- The engagement is an 11-month contract as Honorary Coach at the Navagam, Dindoli sports complex.
- Pay on that engagement is the printed ₹10,000 a month, with no other allowance named in the advertisement.
- A document discrepancy found later can remove the name from the waiting list. An appointment made on fake or tampered documents can be cancelled at any stage.
The advertisement does not print a joining date, probation period, renewal rule or regularisation clause.

FAQs – SMC Sports Coach 2026
What is the last date to apply for SMC Sports Coach 2026?
24 October 2026, 11:00 PM. The form opens only on 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM. No extension has been announced as of 05 October 2026.
What is the age limit for SMC Sports Coach?
50 years. The advertisement does not print category-wise extra years, and it does not print the date on which age is counted. A candidate above 50 should not assume a relaxation.
Is there an exam for SMC Sports Coach, or is it interview-based?
No written exam is mentioned. Selection is document verification and a walk-in interview. Date and venue come by SMS. The Staff Selection Committee then prepares the select list and waiting list.
What is the salary of SMC Sports Coach?
₹10,000 per month, fixed. The advertisement says no other allowance or financial benefit is paid on top of that. It does not print DA, HRA or pension.
Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for SMC 2026?
Do not assume it. The advertisement says no claim to accept a qualification on a provisional basis will be accepted. The route you claim should already be complete, with certificates you can produce.
Is SMC Sports Coach a permanent government job?
No. This is an 11-month contractual honorary engagement, not a regular municipal post. The advertisement does not use the phrase “permanent government job”, and it does not mention renewal or regularisation.
Can candidates from other states apply for SMC recruitment?
The advertisement does not print a Gujarat domicile bar. It also does not say the seats are open to every state. Confirm from the PDF if you are applying from outside Gujarat. The workplace printed is Navagam, Dindoli, Surat.
Where will I be posted if I get selected for SMC Sports Coach?
At the sports complex, Navagam, Dindoli, South East Zone, Surat. The advertisement does not mention a transfer clause or a choice of complex.
Do national or state medals help in this recruitment?
Yes, as a priority in selection, not as a reserved seat. The advertisement says candidates who have won a medal at national or state level in any one of these sports get priority. Keep the medal certificate for verification.
What should I know before applying?
The honest downside is the 11-month contract and the printed bar on any other allowance. Pay stays at ₹10,000 a month for that term. Travel to the interview is at your own cost, and a missed SMS is your loss if the mobile number changes.
