NTPC SAIL Power Company Limited (NSPCL) released Advertisement No. 02/2026 on its official website, announcing the recruitment of Engineering Executive Trainees (EET)-2027 through GATE-2027. The notice can be read in full on the official NSPCL notification. This is for Graduate Engineers in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Instrumentation who plan to appear for GATE-2027 and are interested in a career with a joint venture of two Maharatna companies.
The notification does not state the total number of vacancies or the discipline-wise break-up; a full breakdown will appear below once NSPCL releases it. The place of posting is also not confirmed in this notice, though NSPCL’s existing power plants are located at Bhilai, Durgapur and Rourkela. Candidates should check all details in the article below.
Information verified from the official NSPCL notification, Advertisement No. 02/2026 (Ref: NSPCL/HR-Rectt/02/26). Last verified: 29 August 2026.
NSPCL (NTPC SAIL Power Company Limited) has announced recruitment for Engineering Executive Trainee (EET)-2027 posts in Mechanical (ME), Electrical (EE), Electronics (EC) and Instrumentation (IN), under Advertisement No. 02/2026. Selection will be based on GATE-2027 performance; candidates must appear for GATE-2027 through the official portal at gate2027.iitm.ac.in. NSPCL will publish a separate, detailed advertisement later with the application dates, vacancy numbers and apply link, so this current notice is a recruitment alert, not the final application notice.

About the Organisation
NSPCL is a joint venture between two Maharatna companies, NTPC Limited and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). It operates power generating units at Bhilai, Durgapur and Rourkela, with a combined installed capacity of 1,119 MW, and supplies power to SAIL’s steel plants and other beneficiaries. This background matters for a candidate because it signals a stable, PSU-backed employer rather than a private trainee programme. Read more about central and state recruiting bodies on the Government Jobs section of this site.
Local Context
One of NSPCL’s three operating plants is at Durgapur in West Bengal, alongside Bhilai in Chhattisgarh and Rourkela in Odisha. Durgapur is a long-established industrial town with rail and road links to Kolkata and the rest of West Bengal. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office. Since GATE-2027 is a national-level exam and this notice does not confirm which discipline goes to which plant, candidates from West Bengal and neighbouring states should not assume a Durgapur posting — that detail is expected only in NSPCL’s later, detailed advertisement.

Total vacancies: Not mentioned in the official notification. NSPCL has confirmed only the four eligible disciplines at this stage. It has also stated that it may alter, increase, decrease or cancel the notified disciplines or positions at any time without prior notice, so candidates should treat this list as provisional until the detailed advertisement is out.
Eligibility
The notification sets one standard for all four disciplines rather than separate conditions per post:
- Candidates must be Graduate Engineers with a strong academic record.
- Eligible disciplines: Mechanical (ME), Electrical (EE), Electronics (EC), Instrumentation (IN).
- Candidates must be eligible to appear for the GATE-2027 examination in one of these disciplines.
- Age limit: not mentioned in the official notification.
- Minimum qualifying percentage or CGPA: not mentioned in the official notification.
Selection Process
Selection runs through GATE-2027, not a separate NSPCL written exam.
- Candidates appear for the GATE-2027 examination in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics or Instrumentation.
- NSPCL shortlists candidates for further selection based on their GATE-2027 score and the organisation’s requirement.
- Only GATE-2027 scores are accepted. GATE marks from 2026 or any earlier year, or from any other examination, will not be considered for this recruitment.
Application Fee
Application fee details are not mentioned in the official notification. Check the official website for updates once the detailed advertisement is published.
How to Apply
- Visit the GATE-2027 official website and register for the examination in Mechanical (ME), Electrical (EE), Electronics (EC), or Instrumentation (IN).
- Appear for the GATE-2027 examination on the date announced by the GATE organising body.

- Apply online only through the link published in that detailed advertisement once it is released.
The official notice does not list a documents checklist for this stage; NSPCL is expected to publish one along with the detailed EET-2027 advertisement.

Should You Apply?
This notice suits engineering graduates in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics or Instrumentation who are already planning to sit GATE-2027, since GATE performance is the only route into this recruitment — a separate NSPCL entrance exam is not being held. It does not suit candidates hoping to apply immediately, since no application link, vacancy count or salary is out yet; there is nothing to submit at this stage beyond registering for GATE-2027 itself. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office: GATE-linked PSU recruitment of this kind typically draws applications from engineering graduates across the country, since GATE-2027 scores from every state feed into the same shortlist, so it tends to be competitive. NSPCL being a joint venture of NTPC and SAIL, both Maharatna companies, points toward a stable public-sector employer, but the honest trade-off right now is that the exact posting location, pay scale, and whether the role leads to a permanent position are all undisclosed until the detailed advertisement follows.

This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.
