02How it recruits
In plain words
The Directorate General Defence Estates (DGDE) is the Ministry of Defence's regulatory and advisory body for cantonment and defence-land matters, overseeing India's 61 Cantonment Boards. DGDE itself recruits administrative, engineering and estate-management posts, while each individual Cantonment Board also runs its own local recruitment for board-level staff — so an applicant should check both the DGDE site and the specific Cantonment Board concerned.
DGDE / Cantonment Boards recruits mainly through a written competitive examination, or direct recruitment, without a competitive exam. Posts recorded here are commonly classified as Group B/C.
