Short Information: APCPDCL is hiring 60 Assistant Executive Engineers across Electrical (56 posts), Civil (3 posts), and Telecom (1 post) disciplines through a Common Recruitment Examination jointly conducted with APTRANSCO, APEPDCL, APSPDCL, and APGENCO. This is a state power utility job in Andhra Pradesh covering districts like NTR, Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu, Bapatla, Prakasam, and Markapuram — areas where power infrastructure is expanding rapidly.

What makes this recruitment financially attractive is the ₹75,000/month consolidated pay during the 2-year probation period — significantly higher than many state PSU entry-level engineering roles. After probation, candidates are placed on the RPS-2022 scale of ₹86,245 – ₹2,08,915, which means long-term earning potential well above ₹1 lakh/month with DA and allowances.

Eligibility requires a B.Tech/BE degree in the relevant engineering discipline (Electrical/EEE for AEE Electrical; Civil for AEE Civil; Telecom/ECE/Electronics for AEE Telecom). Age limit is 18–42 years as on 01/07/2026, with relaxation up to 47 years for SC/ST/BC/EWS candidates.

The online application window opens 30 June 2026 and closes 20 July 2026. The CBT is scheduled from 22 August to 29 August 2026. Application fee is ₹1,000 for all candidates, payable online through the Payment Gateway.

šŸ’” Expert Tip

This is a Common Recruitment Exam — your single application makes you eligible for allotment across APCPDCL, APTRANSCO, APEPDCL, APSPDCL, and APGENCO. The utility preference order you select at application time is FINAL and cannot be changed later, so think carefully before ranking them. Candidates who score well but get a lower-preference utility often regret not strategizing this upfront. Also note the strict bond: leaving during probation costs you ₹5 lakhs + all salary drawn; leaving within 5 years post-probation costs ₹10 lakhs. Ensure your original degree and community certificates are current and valid — SADAREM certificate is mandatory for PwBD candidates, and EWS certificate must be issued within one year prior to the notification date (25/06/2026).
