TTD AEE, AE, ATO Exam Date 2026 Released: Schedule, Timings, Pattern

TTD exam date 2026 schedule

TTD has announced the post-wise exam schedule for the 2026 Computer Based Test. The revised schedule covers four posts and two exam days.

Candidates should note the exact date and revised shift assigned to their post and prepare accordingly.

What the official web note confirms

The official TTD web note confirms that the recruitment examinations already notified for AEE (Civil), AE (Civil), ATO (Civil) and AEE (Electrical) will now be conducted as per the revised schedule. It also makes three important points clear:

• The examination will be conducted strictly through Online Computer Based Test only.
• The selection will be based on the merit list.
• The hall ticket download link and preference submission link will be activated separately on the official website.

This means candidates should treat the current update as a scheduling and exam-conduct notice, not as a new recruitment advertisement.

This notice is for already applied candidates

The 2026 exam-date update is linked to the posts that were advertised earlier under TTD Notification No. 14/2023 and 15/2023. The application windows had already closed in 2023.

If you did not apply during the original application period, this exam schedule does not open a new application chance. It only schedules the test for the notified recruitment.

Post-wise vacancy snapshot

The exam schedule covers the vacancies that were already announced in the original recruitment notifications. The combined vacancy position across the four posts is as follows:

This helps candidates place the exam in context: the current notice is part of the same recruitment cycle and not a separate exam process.

CBT exam pattern and marking scheme

TTD has also issued a separate exam pattern note for the CBT scheduled on 10 and 11 May 2026. The paper structure is straightforward and the pattern applies to the notified posts covered in the note.

• Total questions per paper: 75
• Duration: 3 hours
• Part A: 50 questions of 1 mark each
• Part B: 25 questions of 2 marks each
• Total marks: 100
• Question type: Multiple Choice Questions
• Options per question: 4, with only 1 correct answer
• Negative marking: 1/3 mark for each wrong 1-mark question and 2/3 mark for each wrong 2-mark question

Because the separate pattern note clearly states a 3-hour exam, candidates should follow the revised shift timings of 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Hall ticket and preference submission update

TTD has not yet announced a separate hall ticket release date in the exam-date notice. Instead, the official web note says that the link for submitting preferences and downloading hall tickets will be activated shortly.

That means candidates should not rely on unofficial timelines. The safest approach is to check both the TTD notifications page and the recruitment portal regularly. Once the hall ticket link goes live, candidates should download it immediately and verify the exam date, shift, reporting details and personal particulars shown on the admit card.

Official syllabus overview for civil posts

The official civil syllabus for AEE, AE and ATO covers core engineering areas relevant to the post level. While the full syllabus PDF should be read carefully, the major areas include the following:

• Strength of materials and solid mechanics
• Fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydraulic machinery
• Building materials and construction practice
• Structural analysis and design of concrete and steel structures
• Construction planning, estimation, costing and project management
• Water resources and irrigation engineering
• Environmental engineering, water supply and wastewater systems
• Soil mechanics and foundation engineering
• Surveying and transportation engineering

Candidates for civil posts should use the official syllabus PDF because the breadth of topics is wide and post preparation needs to match the qualification level and recruitment standard.

Official syllabus overview for AEE electrical

The official syllabus for AEE (Electrical) focuses on core electrical engineering subjects. The main areas listed in the syllabus document include:

• Electric circuits and network analysis
• Electrical measurements and instruments
• Illumination
• DC generators and motors
• Transformers
• Three-phase induction motors, alternators and synchronous motors
• Single-phase induction motors
• Transmission and distribution
• Overhead line insulators and underground cables
• Fault calculations and generating stations
• Protection systems and circuit breakers
• Economic aspects of power systems
• Utilization of electrical energy

Candidates should use the official PDF for topic depth and sequence, especially because the paper is objective and carries negative marking.

Key eligibility points from the original notifications

Although the current update is about the exam date, candidates often revisit eligibility details at this stage to confirm that their application category and post are correct. The original notifications broadly specified the following:

The notifications also stated that the recruitment was for eligible candidates from Andhra Pradesh, that persons professing Hindu religion only could apply, and that the upper age limit was 42 years as on 1 July of the notification year, with applicable relaxations for reserved categories and other eligible groups.

What candidates should do next

At this stage, candidates should focus on only the officially confirmed tasks. A practical checklist is given below:

1. Confirm your post and exam date from the revised schedule.
2. Prepare according to the official CBT pattern and marking scheme.
3. Download and study the official syllabus PDF for your post.
4. Keep checking the official website for the hall ticket and preference submission link.
5. Keep your application details, ID proof and category or local-status documents ready in case they are needed during later stages.

As of now, TTD has confirmed the exam dates, revised time slots, CBT mode and merit-based selection. The hall ticket release date has not been separately announced yet.
