Short Information: APGENCO — Andhra Pradesh's largest power generating company with an installed capacity of 6,389 MW across Thermal, Hydro, and Solar stations — is hiring 100 Assistant Executive Engineers across four branches: Electrical (52 posts), Mechanical (21 posts), Electronics (7 posts), and Civil (20 posts).

What sets APGENCO apart from the other AP power utilities is the nature of work — you'll be posted at actual generating stations like the Dr. NTTPS Thermal Plant, Upper Sileru Hydel Station, Srisailam Right Bank Power House, or Dr. MVR Rayalaseema Thermal Power Plant. This is hands-on plant-level engineering, not desk or substation work.

The pay during the 2-year probation is ₹75,000/month consolidated. Post-probation, candidates move to RPS-2022 scale of ₹86,245 – ₹2,08,915. Additionally, APGENCO pays station-specific allowances: Project Allowance of ₹19,550–₹31,580/month, Shift Allowance of ₹5,410/month, and a Hotline Allowance of ₹42,110/month — which collectively make the gross package substantially higher than comparable state PSU engineering roles.

Departmental quarters, hospital facilities, and DAV school access are provided at all generating stations. Eligibility requires a B.Tech/BE/AMIE in the relevant discipline, fully held as on 25 June 2026. Age limit is 18–42 years as on 01/07/2026. Applications open 30 June 2026 and close 20 July 2026. Fee is ₹1,000 for all candidates.

💡 Expert Tip

APGENCO's Mechanical and Electronics branches have a SEPARATE exam — not the common CBT shared with APTRANSCO/APCPDCL. This means Mechanical and Electronics candidates submit one application but sit a different paper conducted only for APGENCO. Only Electrical and Civil branches are part of the common AP Power Utilities CBT. Also note: Zone-I (Visakhapatnam region) has ZERO vacancies in all branches — candidates from that zone who wish to apply must select other zone preferences. Zone-II has the highest vacancies across all branches. Post-probation seniority for Electrical, Mechanical, and Electronics engineers is determined by a merged percentile list — meaning your rank relative to all three branches combined decides your promotion sequence.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q.1 What is the in-hand salary for APGENCO AEE posts?
Ans: During the 2-year probation, candidates receive ₹75,000/month consolidated. Post-probation RPS-2022 scale starts at ₹86,245. However, APGENCO additionally pays Project Allowance (₹19,550–₹31,580), Shift Allowance (₹5,410), Hotline Allowance (₹42,110), and Conveyance Allowance (₹1,375) per month — making the effective gross package well above ₹1.5 lakh/month at most generating stations.
Q.2 What is the last date to apply for APGENCO AEE Recruitment 2026?
Ans: The last date to submit the online application and pay the fee is 20 July 2026 at 11:59 PM. The portal opens on 30 June 2026 at 10:00 AM. Fee payment, application submission, and certificate upload must all be completed by 20 July 2026.
Q.3 Is there any negative marking in the APGENCO AEE exam?
Ans: No. The notification explicitly states there shall be no negative marks in the Computer Based Test (CBT) for any branch — Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, or Civil. Candidates can attempt all 100 questions without any penalty for wrong answers. Normalization is applied since exams are conducted across multiple shifts.
Q.4 What is the age limit for APGENCO AEE Recruitment 2026?
Ans: The minimum age is 18 years and the maximum is 42 years as on 01/07/2026 for General (OC) candidates. SC/ST/BC/EWS candidates can apply up to 47 years.

Q.6 Is the APGENCO AEE exam the same as the APTRANSCO/APCPDCL common exam?
Ans: Partially. AEE Electrical and AEE Civil branches appear in the Common Recruitment Exam shared across APGENCO, APTRANSCO, APCPDCL, APEPDCL, and APSPDCL — one application covers all utilities. However, AEE Mechanical and AEE Electronics branches have a SEPARATE exam conducted exclusively by APGENCO — candidates for these branches apply only for APGENCO posts.

Ans: Selection is through a Computer Based Test (CBT) of 100 marks and 3 hours duration. Electrical and Civil candidates take the common AP Power Utilities CBT; Mechanical and Electronics candidates take a separate APGENCO CBT. Marks are normalized across shifts. A merit list (1:1 ratio) is prepared, candidates are called for certificate verification, and final selection and zone allotment is done based on merit, reservation, and preferences.
Q.8 What are the facilities provided to APGENCO employees at generating stations?
Ans: APGENCO provides departmental quarters at all generating stations, hospital facilities for employees and family, and DAV school access for children. In addition to the base pay, employees receive station-specific Project Allowance (₹19,550–₹31,580/month), Shift Allowance (₹5,410/month), and Hotline Allowance (₹42,110/month). Performance Linked Generation Allowance (PLGA) of up to 5% of minimum grade scale is also paid based on station output targets.
