About NEEPCO
NEEPCO is a Government of India Enterprise, classified as a Schedule-A Miniratna Category-I PSU, headquartered at Brookland Compound, Lower New Colony, Shillong, Meghalaya. It builds, operates and maintains power stations across the North Eastern region, including the two Tripura gas-based stations covered in this recruitment. For a candidate, this is a central public sector technical role, not a private-company posting.
Local context: Tripura postings
Both power stations in this recruitment are in Tripura. The Agartala Gas Based Power Station is in Ramchandranagar, on the edge of Agartala, Tripura’s state capital, which has air, rail and road links to the rest of the North East and the country. This is added context, not part of the official notification; confirm current connectivity with local sources. The Tripura Gas Based Power Station is further south, at Monarchak near Dhanpur, Sonamura, in Sepahijala district — a more rural part of the state. Candidates should note that the Employment Exchange and domicile condition make this a Tripura-only recruitment, unlike most central PSU postings that accept applications pan-India.

NEEPCO Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026 – Eligibility
| Post | Category | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Engineer (Electrical) | SC/ST | Full Time Regular Diploma in Electrical / Electrical & Electronics Engineering from a State Technical Board or recognised institute, with pass marks |
| Junior Engineer (Electrical) | UR | Same diploma, with not less than 70% marks |
| Junior Engineer (Mechanical) | ST | Full Time Regular Diploma in Mechanical / Production Engineering from a State Technical Board or recognised institute, with pass marks |
| Junior Engineer (Mechanical) | UR/EWS | Same diploma, with not less than 70% marks |
The diploma course must be approved by the Board of Technical Education (BTE) or the relevant State Technical Education Board.

All qualifications must be from institutes recognised by BTE, AICTE, or the appropriate statutory authority.

Candidates must be Indian Nationals above 18 years of age.

Selection process
Selection has two stages, both objective (multiple-choice) tests, followed by merit-based selection. There is no interview and no skill test.
- Aptitude Test — 60 questions covering General English, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning. This stage is qualifying only.
- Technical Test — 40 questions in the candidate’s own discipline (Electrical or Mechanical).
- Both tests carry 1 mark per question, with 0.25 marks deducted for each wrong answer, and together run for 2 hours.
- Qualifying marks are 40% for UR/EWS candidates and 30% for SC/ST candidates in each test.
- The offer of appointment is issued on merit; no separate skill test follows.
The notification adds one practical point: candidates already working in a government department, PSU or autonomous body must bring a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the written test — without it, they will not be permitted to sit the exam. SC/ST/EWS/XSM candidates must also carry their category certificate, and all candidates must carry their Essential Qualification Certificate, at the time of the written test.

Should you apply?
This post suits diploma holders in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering who are already registered with the Agartala or Sepahijala Employment Exchange and hold Tripura domicile — the eligibility gate is narrow by design, and a strong diploma score alone will not help candidates outside this group. With only 7 posts split across four category-wise slots, competition among eligible candidates will still be real, even though the applicant pool is limited to one state.
This is added context, not part of the official notification: a Junior Engineer post at a Miniratna PSU like NEEPCO generally offers stable, long-term technical employment within the organisation’s engineering cadre. Confirm current terms with the hiring office.
The honest trade-off is the commitment attached to it: 2 years of training followed by a mandatory service bond of ₹1,00,000 plus GST for UR/EWS candidates, or ₹50,000 plus GST for SC/ST/PwBD candidates, to serve NEEPCO for at least 3 years after training. The notification also states these posts may involve working in any of NEEPCO’s operational areas, not only the two Tripura stations advertised now — worth factoring in before applying.
