If you applied for the NPCIL Kakrapar recruitment, the first thing to understand is that the admit card status is not identical for all posts. The official NPCIL Kakrapar candidate portal has confirmed that e-admit cards have been issued for the Computer Based Test scheduled on 27 April 2026 for Assistant Grade-1 posts and ST/SA Category-I posts. At the same time, the portal separately states that the ST/TN Category-II CBT is tentatively scheduled for 05 May 2026 and its admit card will be released shortly.

This recruitment belongs to Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, Kakrapar Gujarat Site, under Advertisement No. NPCIL/KAKRAPAR GUJARAT SITE/HRM/01/2025. It covers Stipendiary Trainee, Scientific Assistant and Assistant Grade-1 posts with a total of 197 vacancies. Because the recruitment combines technical and non-technical posts, candidates should not assume that everyone has the same exam date, paper pattern or admit card timeline. Your hall ticket status depends on the post you applied for.

For most candidates, the practical task is simple: log in through the official NPCIL careers portal, download the e-admit card if it has been activated for your post, verify the exam date and reporting details, and keep a printed copy ready. If your post is in ST/TN Category-II, keep checking the official page because the portal has already indicated that the separate admit card release will follow for the 05 May 2026 CBT.

NPCIL Kakrapar Admit Card 2026 Overview

The current admit card update is connected to the Kakrapar Gujarat Site recruitment under Advertisement No. NPCIL/KAKRAPAR GUJARAT SITE/HRM/01/2025. This recruitment includes ST/SA Category-I, ST/TN Category-II and Assistant Grade-1 posts. The latest official update shows that the e-admit card has already been activated for Assistant Grade-1 and ST/SA Category-I candidates whose CBT is scheduled on 27 April 2026.

The same official portal also makes it clear that ST/TN Category-II candidates have a separate timeline. Their CBT is tentatively fixed for 05 May 2026 and the e-admit card is yet to be released. So candidates should read the notice according to their own post instead of assuming a single hall ticket status for all applicants.

Which Posts Have Admit Card Right Now

According to the official Kakrapar Gujarat Site candidate page, e-admit cards have been released for the CBT scheduled on 27 April 2026 for the following posts:

  • Assistant Grade-1 (HR)
  • Assistant Grade-1 (F&A)
  • Assistant Grade-1 (C&MM)
  • Stipendiary Trainee/Scientific Assistant Category-I posts

For ST/TN Category-II posts, the official page states that the CBT is tentatively scheduled on 05 May 2026 and the e-admit card will be issued shortly. Candidates in that category should continue checking the same official portal.

How to Download NPCIL Kakrapar Admit Card 2026

  1. Visit the official NPCIL careers portal for the Kakrapar Gujarat Site recruitment.
  2. Open the candidate login or personal login page for Advertisement No. NPCIL/KAKRAPAR GUJARAT SITE/HRM/01/2025.
  3. Enter your login credentials. The official notice says the roll number was sent through email and SMS for the CBT admit card download link.
  4. Go to the Application Status section.
  5. Open the e-admit card link if it is active for your post.
  6. Download the hall ticket PDF and take a clear printout.

Keep both a digital copy and a printed copy. A last-minute login attempt is not a good idea, especially when the site is busy close to the exam date.

Details to Check on the Admit Card

After downloading the hall ticket, read it carefully. Candidates should verify all basic details before the exam day.

  • Candidate name
  • Roll number or registration details
  • Post name and category of post
  • Advertisement number
  • Exam date and shift
  • Reporting time
  • Exam venue and address
  • Photograph and signature, if printed
  • Instructions for identity proof and prohibited items

If there is any obvious mismatch, use the official contact route mentioned on the recruitment portal instead of depending on unofficial websites or social media messages.

CBT Pattern and Selection Process by Post Type

The selection pattern is different for different post groups, so candidates should prepare according to the post mentioned on their application and admit card.

For ST/SA Category-I posts, the online examination is of 1.5 hours with 50 multiple choice questions for 100 marks. Each correct answer carries 2 marks and 0.5 mark is deducted for each wrong answer. Shortlisted candidates move to the personal interview stage.

For ST/TN Category-II posts, the CBT includes Stage-1 and Stage-2 on the same day. Stage-1 is a screening test with 50 questions from Mathematics, Science and General Awareness. Stage-2 is based on the essential qualification syllabus. For ST/TN Maintainer, a skill test is also part of the process, while Plant Operator does not have a skill test stage.

For Assistant Grade-1 posts, Stage-1 covers General Knowledge and Current Affairs, Computer Knowledge and English. Stage-2 covers Quantitative Aptitude and Critical Reasoning. Candidates shortlisted after Stage-2 must clear a qualifying typing proficiency test and computer proficiency test.

Eligibility and Minimum Qualification Snapshot

This recruitment combines several post groups, so the minimum qualification is not the same for all applicants.

  • ST/SA Category-I Diploma posts: Diploma in the relevant engineering discipline with the required marks
  • ST/SA Category-I Science Graduate posts: B.Sc. with the required subject combination and marks
  • ST/TN Category-II Plant Operator: 12th or equivalent in science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
  • ST/TN Category-II Maintainer: 10th with science and mathematics plus relevant ITI and experience where applicable
  • Assistant Grade-1 posts: Graduation

Because the admit card topic covers multiple posts, candidates should confirm the exact qualification and selection conditions from the original official advertisement for their specific post.

Vacancy Breakup Covered Under This Admit Card Update

The admit card update is tied to a combined recruitment of 197 posts at Kakrapar Gujarat Site.

Post GroupVacancies
ST/SA Category-I11
ST/TN Category-II166
Assistant Grade-1 (HR)9
Assistant Grade-1 (F&A)6
Assistant Grade-1 (C&MM)5
Total197

This helps candidates confirm that they are checking the correct recruitment cycle and not mixing it up with other NPCIL site recruitments.

Documents to Carry and Exam Day Instructions

The official conditions say screened-in candidates appearing for the online examination should carry one clear printout of the e-admit card bearing the candidate photograph and a valid photo identity proof.

  • Printed e-admit card
  • Original photo ID such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, driving licence, voter ID, college ID or government-issued ID
  • Any additional document specifically mentioned on the hall ticket

Electronic devices such as mobile phones, smart watches, calculators and similar gadgets are generally not allowed inside the examination hall. Reach the center well before the reporting time because requests for change of date, time or center are not entertained.

What to Do If the Admit Card Is Not Visible in Your Login

If your admit card is not visible, first confirm your post category. The current release is not for every post. Assistant Grade-1 and ST/SA Category-I candidates should already see the active link, while ST/TN Category-II candidates are still waiting for their separate admit card release.

  • Check that you are logging into the correct recruitment portal for Kakrapar Gujarat Site
  • Verify your post category before assuming the link is missing
  • Use the registered email and SMS details because the official notice mentions roll number communication through these channels
  • Retry from the Application Status section in your personal login
  • Use the official contact and help sections if a genuine login problem remains

Many admit card issues happen because candidates open the wrong recruitment page or expect one common hall ticket date for all posts.

What Happens After the CBT

The next stage depends on the post. ST/SA Category-I candidates move toward interview if shortlisted. ST/TN Category-II candidates move based on Stage-2 performance, and Maintainer candidates also have to clear the qualifying skill test. Assistant Grade-1 candidates must clear the qualifying typing and computer proficiency tests after written stages.

After each stage, NPCIL will communicate further updates such as skill test, interview, document verification or call letter details through the official careers website and candidate login. Keep your application details, email access and printed admit card safe until the recruitment process is fully completed.
