Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited has released a new Assistant Engineer recruitment notice for 2026 covering 13 vacancies. This is a regular engineering recruitment aimed at candidates from Electrical, Electrical and Electronics, and Computer Science or IT backgrounds who want to work in Meghalaya's power sector.
The first thing applicants should note is that the process is offline. You need to download the prescribed form, fill it carefully, attach the required documents, and submit it in the manner stated in the official notice before the deadline. The recruitment advertisement is listed on the official MeECL recruitment page, and the application form is part of the official PDF notice.
For most candidates, the important checks are simple: whether their degree matches the notified engineering branch, what fee applies to their category, and whether they are comfortable with a written test followed by a personal interview. This guide is structured around those exact points so you can decide quickly whether to apply and what to prepare next.
MeECL Assistant Engineer Recruitment 2026 overview

The recruitment has been listed on the official MeECL recruitment page and the application is to be made offline through the prescribed form. Candidates should read the official PDF carefully because the same document carries the form, fee fields and submission instructions.

| Total | 13 |
The recruitment is being conducted under the Meghalaya state reservation framework. Candidates should match their category carefully while checking the official notice and application form.
Educational qualification and eligibility
The core eligibility requirement is a B.E. or B.Tech degree in the relevant notified engineering discipline from a recognized university or institute. The qualification should match the post exactly.
For Assistant Engineer in Electrical or Electrical and Electronics Engineering, the degree must be in Electrical or Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
For Assistant Engineer in Computer Science or IT Engineering, the degree must be in Computer Science or Information Technology Engineering.
Applicants should also ensure that the degree is recognized by the Government of Meghalaya, UGC or AICTE, as applicable. It is safer to apply only if your discipline title closely matches the notice wording.
Age limit and category relaxation
The age limit is to be followed as per Meghalaya State Government criteria. The official recruitment summaries also indicate that ST and SC candidates are eligible for 5 years of age relaxation.
If you fall under a reserved category, attach the correct category certificate in the format expected by the recruiting authority. Candidates relying on relaxation should avoid using outdated or incomplete certificates.
Pay scale and service nature
The advertised pay scale for the Assistant Engineer posts is Rs. 83,000 to Rs. 1,96,100 plus usual allowances. This makes it one of the more substantial engineering pay bands among current Meghalaya state utility recruitments.
Applicants should still read the official notice carefully for service terms, probation or posting conditions, because pay alone does not explain how the appointment will operate in practice.
Application fee and payment mode
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General | Rs. 800 |
| ST / SC | Rs. 400 |
The application form includes a bank draft section, so candidates should arrange payment in the mode specified in the official notice. Recruitment summaries based on the notice indicate that the bank draft is to be drawn in favour of Principal Account, MeECL, Shillong.
Do not assume that online payment or cash deposit is allowed unless the official form explicitly says so.
Selection process
The selection process consists of a written test followed by a personal interview. The written test and interview dates have not yet been announced.
Because the recruitment is discipline-based, candidates should expect the written examination to focus mainly on their relevant engineering stream along with general competitive components, if specified separately in later notices.
Admit card, exam venue and interview schedule are expected to be published later on the official MeECL website.
