The Cotton Corporation of India Limited (CCI) has declared the CCI Result 2026 for its recruitment examination. The result was released on October 23, 2026, and candidates who appeared for the computer-based test can now check the merit list PDF on the official website, cotcorp.org.in. This was one of the most awaited results of the year for government job aspirants, and the announcement ended a wait of nearly seven weeks.
The corporation had conducted the computer-based test on September 1, 2026, for 148 vacancies across four posts: Assistant Manager, Management Trainee, Junior Commercial Executive and Junior Assistant. The online applications for this recruitment drive were accepted between July 9 and July 24, 2026, and the admit cards were released on August 21. With the result now out, the recruitment process moves into its next phase.
What the CCI Result 2026 Means for Candidates
The result has been published as a merit list in PDF format. It carries the names and roll numbers of candidates who have qualified in the written exam and are now eligible for the next stage. If your roll number appears in the list, you will be called for document verification, followed by a medical examination before the final selection.
Candidates should note that the merit list is provisional in nature. It reflects performance in the computer-based test, and the final appointment depends on clearing all subsequent stages. CCI advises candidates to keep a printed copy of the result and their admit card safe, as both may be needed during verification.
Post-Wise Vacancy Break-Up
The 148 vacancies announced this year are spread across the four posts as follows:
- Assistant Manager: 2 posts
- Management Trainee: 16 posts
- Junior Commercial Executive: 50 posts
- Junior Assistant: 80 posts
Junior Commercial Executive and Junior Assistant account for the bulk of the openings, which makes this result particularly significant for commerce graduates looking to join a central public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Textiles.

Cut-Off and Next Steps
The official CCI cut-off marks are expected to be available along with the result on the official portal. Early estimates reported by exam platforms place the General category cut-off around 75 to 80 marks, with OBC and EWS in the 70 to 75 range and SC and ST in the 65 to 70 range. These are indicative figures, not official numbers, and candidates should treat the official cut-off as the only authoritative reference.
The selection lifecycle after the result is straightforward:
- Shortlisting based on the CBT merit list

- Medical examination
- Final selection and appointment
CCI has not yet announced the schedule for document verification. Candidates are advised to keep their certificates, identity proofs and caste or category documents ready, and to check cotcorp.org.in regularly for the next notification.
