TGPSC AEE Recruitment 2026: 222 Civil Engineer Posts, Age Up to 44, Apply by 13 July

Civil engineers up to 44 years of age rarely get a fresh government door, and Telangana just opened one. TGPSC AEE Recruitment 2026 offers 222 Assistant Executive Engineer (Civil) posts in the Transport, Roads and Buildings Department, with applications open till 13 July 2026, 5:00 PM. Selection is a two-paper objective exam; there’s no interview.

TGPSC AEE Recruitment 2026: Core Details

Age Up to 44: A 10-Year Gift

The standout term of this notification sits in its age clause. Telangana’s normal AEE ceiling would be 34; a government order of 18 May 2026 (G.O.Ms.86) raised the upper limit by a full 10 years, to 44, for this recruitment. Add the usual category relaxations on top of that base, and thousands of engineers who thought PSC exams were behind them are suddenly eligible. If you graduated in civil engineering any time in the last two decades, check your date of birth. The window: born between 2 July 1982 and 1 July 2008.

Two Papers, 450 Marks, No Interview

Merit comes purely from these 450 marks; the notification’s selection section names the exam as the sole basis. Qualifying floors sit at 40% for OC, EWS and sports-quota candidates, 35% for BC and 30% for SC/ST/PwD. A saving clause lets SC/ST selection proceed on relative performance if the floor isn’t met. Appearing in both papers is compulsory; missing one disqualifies you. The notification specifies no negative marking anywhere in the scheme. Ties are broken first by Telangana-local status, then age, then the subject paper’s marks. Answer-key objections after the exam cost ₹500 per question, refunded if your objection is upheld.

Weight your preparation accordingly: the Civil Engineering paper carries double marks, so it decides two-thirds of your total. Exam centres: Hyderabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, Warangal and Nizamabad.

The Fee Line Most Engineers Will Like

The processing fee is ₹1,000 for OC and BC applicants, ₹500 for SC, ST and PwD. The separate ₹120 examination fee has an exemption written right into the notification: all unemployed applicants skip it. Only government-sector employees pay. Fees go online (net banking, cards, UPI) and are non-refundable, so settle your category and details before paying.

Local Reservation, In One Paragraph

These are Multi Zone cadre posts, and 95% of them follow Telangana’s local reservation under the 2018 presidential-order framework. Non-local candidates (including applicants from other states) compete within the remaining share, and the tie-break rule also favours locals. You can apply from anywhere in India, but go in knowing the structure. Your studied-in-Telangana school years, not your current address, generally decide local status. The notification’s Section 5 carries the exact definition.

Steps on the TGPSC Portal

1. First-timers create a One Time Registration on tgpsc.gov.in to get a TGPSC ID. Returning applicants log in with their OTR number.
2. Open the AEE (Civil) application, verify the details fetched from your OTR (name, date of birth, qualification, community), and pick your exam centre.
3. Preview, save, and pay the processing fee (plus the ₹120 exam fee unless you’re unemployed) through net banking, card or UPI.
4. Download the generated PDF application and keep it. Changes made in OTR after submission don’t flow into an already-submitted form, so fix profile errors first.
5. Hall tickets appear about 7 days before the exam on the portal.

The Case for Applying

Two hundred and twenty-two permanent engineering posts, pure written merit, and an age door open to 44. This is the widest AEE opening Telangana has offered in years, and the October exam leaves three months of focused preparation. On pay: the ₹54,220 starting basic should land somewhere near ₹62,000 to ₹68,000 in hand each month once DA and HRA are added and NPS comes out. Treat that as our estimate, since DA revisions shift it. Out-of-state civil engineers should weigh the 95% local reservation honestly. Within Telangana, this is the recruitment to clear your calendar for. The form closes 13 July at 5 PM sharp.

TGPSC also has smaller windows open for AEE Electrical (49 posts, till 15 July) and Assistant Environmental Engineer (19 posts, till 17 July) on the same portal. Telangana coverage on Naukri Tips starts with this post; the state page and the live jobs board carry what’s next.
