What is the Eligibility for NEEPCO JE Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
The marks bar differs by category within the same post — this catches many candidates out, so read your own row.
| Post & Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
| JE (Electrical), UR | Diploma in Electrical / Electrical & Electronics Engineering with not less than 70% marks |
| JE (Electrical), SC/ST | The same diploma with pass marks only |
| JE (Mechanical), UR/EWS | Diploma in Mechanical / Production Engineering with not less than 70% marks |
| JE (Mechanical), ST | The same diploma with pass marks only |
Two conditions apply to everyone: the diploma must be from a State Technical Board or a recognised institute approved by BTE / AICTE or the appropriate statutory authority, and it must be full-time regular — distance learning diplomas are not eligible. The result-declaration or marksheet-issue date counts as the date you acquired the qualification, with no relaxation. No experience is required, so freshers are welcome. If you hold a diploma in engineering, this is a strong PSU entry point.
Age Limit
Age is reckoned as on 1 January 2026 — not the closing date, so calculate carefully. Only Indian nationals above 18 years may apply.
| Category | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| UR / EWS | 30 years |
| SC / ST (5-year relaxation included) | 35 years |
| Ex-Servicemen | Additional 10 years over the above |
