APSPDCL and AP Vidyut’s AEE recruitment 2026 has opened one of the year’s biggest engineering drives, and a single application puts you in the running for all five state-run power utilities. APTRANSCO, APGENCO, APSPDCL, APCPDCL and APEPDCL are together hiring 630 Assistant Executive Engineers (AEE) across the Electrical, Civil and Telecom streams through one common direct-recruitment drive. If you’re a fresh or working engineering graduate in Andhra Pradesh who wants a permanent public-sector technical job, this notification is aimed at you. Online applications stay open until 20 July 2026 (23:59 hrs), and the whole selection runs on one Computer Based Test.
How the 630 AEE posts split across AP’s five power utilities
This isn’t five separate exams. All 630 vacancies are being filled through one common drive, so you fill a single form and sit one test, and your marks count for whichever utility you’re eligible for. Here is how the seats are shared:
| Utility | AEE posts |
|---|---|
| APTRANSCO | 200 |
| APGENCO | 100 |
| APSPDCL | 135 |
| APCPDCL | 60 |
| APEPDCL | 135 |
| Total | 630 |
The APSPDCL notification we verified confirms APSPDCL’s own 135 posts and spells out their stream-wise split: 125 Electrical, 6 Civil and 4 Telecom. The other utilities’ counts and the 630 grand total come from the common-drive brief and the APEPDCL careers page, so treat those as officially announced but check each utility’s own figure on the portal. Electrical graduates get by far the most seats, while Civil and Telecom aspirants chase a tiny pool, so competition per Civil or Telecom seat can be much tighter even though the syllabus runs the same length.
Degree and age rules for AEE-Electrical, Civil and Telecom
The qualifying degree depends on the stream you pick:
- AEE-Electrical: a degree in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
- AEE-Telecom: a degree in Telecommunications, Electronics, or Electronics & Communication Engineering.
- AEE-Civil: a degree in Civil Engineering.
Any of these must be from a recognised university. On age, you need to be between 18 and 42 years as on 01/07/2026, and the upper limit relaxes to 47 for reserved categories and 52 for candidates with benchmark disabilities.
What APTRANSCO and its sister utilities pay an AEE
Selected candidates serve a 2-year probation, completed within a continuous period of 3 years, on a consolidated Rs.75,000 a month. Once probation is cleared, you move onto the regular RPS-2022 time scale of Rs.86,245-2,08,915. The one-time application fee for the common CBT is Rs.1,000, and no separate fee is charged per utility since it’s a single test feeding all five.
Inside the AP Vidyut AEE recruitment 2026 CBT and its 1:1 merit list
Your result is decided entirely by one Computer Based Test, with no interview stage. Here’s the part worth planning around:
- The paper carries 100 marks: 70 from your core engineering subject and 30 from general subjects. That 30 splits into Quantitative Aptitude (8), General Awareness (7), Computer Knowledge (5), General Intelligence & Reasoning (5) and English (5).
- There is no negative marking. A wrong answer costs you nothing, so attempt every question and never leave one blank.
- The merit list is drawn at a 1:1 ratio, meaning it is cut close to the vacancy count rather than calling a big multiple for later rounds.
- The CBT runs across a multi-day window from 22 August to 29 August 2026, with each 3-hour session assigned by applicant volume. Your exact date and slot appear on the hall ticket, downloadable 7 days before the test.
Because the test spans several days and sessions, marks are normalised across sessions so nobody is advantaged or disadvantaged by the particular paper they happened to sit. Since 70 of the 100 marks sit inside your own branch, the smart play is to treat the core section as the real battleground and use the 30 general-subject marks as a safe top-up.
Filing your application on apvidyutrecruitment.apcfss.in before 20 July
The window opened on 30 June 2026 (10:00 hrs) and closes on 20 July 2026 (23:59 hrs). Go to the official portal, register, choose your stream, upload the required details and pay the Rs.1,000 fee online. Apply only on the official website linked above. A genuine government recruiter never asks for an unofficial payment beyond the notified fee, so treat any agent promising a confirmed seat as a fraud. If you’re still weighing which roles match your degree and location, our job finder can shortlist openings in a couple of minutes, and you can track every new notice on our Andhra Pradesh government jobs page.
Quick answers on the AP Vidyut AEE recruitment
Can one application cover all five AP power utilities?
Yes. APTRANSCO, APGENCO, APSPDCL, APCPDCL and APEPDCL are recruiting through one common drive and one CBT, so you submit a single application and sit one test instead of applying to each utility on its own.
Is there negative marking in the AP AEE Computer Based Test?
No. The 100-mark CBT has no negative marking. A wrong guess doesn’t pull down your score, so attempt every question and leave nothing blank.
How many AEE-Civil and AEE-Telecom seats does APSPDCL have?
Within APSPDCL’s 135 posts, only 6 are Civil and 4 are Telecom, with the other 125 for Electrical. The notification gives this stream split for APSPDCL specifically, so treat other utilities’ stream numbers as something to confirm on the portal.
What will I earn during the 2-year AEE probation?
During probation you draw a consolidated Rs.75,000 a month. After you clear the 2-year probation, served within a continuous 3-year period, you shift onto the RPS-2022 time scale of Rs.86,245-2,08,915.
When is the AP AEE CBT and how long does it last?
The Computer Based Test runs across a window from 22 August to 29 August 2026, and your exact session is fixed by applicant volume. Each session lasts 3 hours and covers 70 marks of core-subject questions plus 30 marks of general subjects. Your precise date and slot come on the hall ticket, available to download 7 days before the test.
Does APSPDCL or APEPDCL charge anything beyond the Rs.1,000 fee?
The notified application fee is Rs.1,000 for the common CBT, and nothing more is stated. Pay it only through the official portal, and remember that any demand for extra money to guarantee a seat is a scam, not a government charge.
