POWERGRID Non Executive Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 660 Posts

POWERGRID Non Executive Recruitment 2026 overview

POWERGRID has issued Advertisement No. CC/01/2026 for recruitment to Non-Executive posts across its regions and for selected vacancies in CTUIL. The official careers page lists this drive as "Recruitment of Non-Executive Posts 2026" and the detailed advertisement contains the post-wise and region-wise vacancy matrix.

The application process is fully online. Candidates should not wait for the last day because the form requires careful post selection, document upload, and fee payment where applicable.

Posts covered under the 660 vacancies

The headline vacancy count for this recruitment is 660 posts. The drive covers vacancies under POWERGRID and also selected vacancies under CTUIL. The official advertisement should be checked for the exact region-wise, category-wise and organization-wise breakup before you submit the form.

• Diploma Trainee - Electrical
• Diploma Trainee - Civil
• Diploma Trainee - Survey
• Junior Officer Trainee - Human Resource
• Junior Officer Trainee - Finance & Accounts
• Junior Technician Trainee - Survey

The detailed notification also flags backlog vacancies separately within the POWERGRID vacancy matrix. If you are applying under a reserved category or for a specific region, rely on the official PDF for the exact seat count rather than only the headline total.

Eligibility and qualification by post

This recruitment uses different eligibility rules for different posts. Candidates should match their exact qualification with the post they want to apply for and also check whether minimum marks or higher-qualification restrictions apply.

For several posts in this recruitment, the advertisement places restrictions on certain higher qualifications. That means a candidate with a higher qualification is not automatically eligible. Applicants should read the post-specific clause in the official PDF before assuming they qualify.

Age limit and relaxation

The upper age limit for the advertised Non-Executive posts is 27 years as on 11 May 2026. The recruitment also follows applicable reservation and relaxation rules for categories such as SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and other categories covered under Government of India rules.

• Upper age limit: 27 years
• Cut-off date for age: 11 May 2026
• Category relaxation: As per Government of India and POWERGRID rules

Candidates should make sure that their date of birth, category certificate and any relaxation claim match the format and validity period required in the detailed advertisement. A wrong category claim can create issues at document verification even if the application is accepted initially.

Application fee

The application fee depends on the post group. Candidates should pay attention to the post they are selecting because the fee is not the same across all posts.

Application fee, once paid, is generally non-refundable. Candidates should therefore confirm their eligibility and the correct post code before making payment.

Selection process and CBT pattern

The main screening stage is a Computer Based Test. Depending on the post, POWERGRID may also conduct a qualifying skill-based stage after the CBT. Final appointment remains subject to document verification and medical fitness.

• Diploma Trainee posts: CBT forms the main selection basis.
• Junior Officer Trainee posts: CBT followed by a qualifying Computer Skill Test.
• Junior Technician Trainee - Survey: CBT followed by a qualifying Trade Test.

The CBT pattern reported for this recruitment consists of objective questions with a technical or professional section and an aptitude section.

Minimum qualifying marks and shortlisting rules vary by post and category. Candidates should check the detailed advertisement for the exact benchmark that applies to their category and post.

Salary, training period and service bond

The selected candidates are first taken as trainees and then absorbed in the regular grade after successful completion of training. Pay differs between the trainee groups and the technician group.

The advertisement also provides for a service agreement bond after successful training. The bond amount is higher for Diploma Trainee and Junior Officer Trainee categories than for Junior Technician Trainee. Candidates should read the bond clause carefully before applying because it affects post-selection obligations.

How to apply online

The application process is online through the POWERGRID careers section. Candidates should keep their email ID and mobile number active throughout the recruitment cycle.

What is confirmed now and what is still awaited

As of the official notification stage, the application schedule, post groups, headline vacancy count, age cut-off, fee structure and broad selection framework are available. Candidates can therefore start checking eligibility and preparing documents immediately.

However, some later-stage items are still expected through separate notices. These typically include the exact CBT date, admit card release, test city or center communication, and result schedule. Applicants should therefore rely on the official POWERGRID careers page for fresh updates after submitting the form.

• Confirmed now: notification, apply window, post groups, fee, broad eligibility and selection process
• Awaited separately: CBT date, admit card, skill or trade test schedule, result dates and final joining steps

If you are planning to apply, the practical next step is simple: verify your post-specific qualification, match your category documents, and keep the official PDF open while filling the form so that you choose the correct post and region.
