Mysore City Corporation Recruitment 2026: Vacancy, Eligibility & Selection Process

The Mysore City Corporation (MCC), also known as the Mysuru City Corporation, is the civic body responsible for the urban governance, infrastructure, and public services in Mysuru, Karnataka. Originating as the Mysore Town Municipality in 1888, it officially attained the status of a Municipal Corporation in 1977. Serving as the third level of government beneath the state and central authorities, the MCC governs a population of roughly one million residents spread across dozens of administrative wards. The council is composed of elected representatives called corporators, who elect a mayor for a one-year term to guide policy and civic decision-making alongside an appointed municipal commissioner. The corporation oversees essential civic amenities, including water supply, sewerage systems, solid waste management, town planning, road maintenance, public health, and trade licensing. Operating out of a heritage Indo-Saracenic style headquarters commissioned in 1921 by Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the MCC balances modern urban growth with historical preservation. Its clean-city initiatives and efficient door-to-door waste collection programs have frequently earned Mysuru top rankings among India’s cleanest cities under national sanitation surveys.
