Stage 1 — Computer Based Test (CBT)
The sole merit-determining stage — carries 100% weightage in final empanelment. 170 objective MCQ questions for 170 marks in 2 hours. Part-I (Technical/Professional Knowledge — 120 Q) covers subject-specific topics for the post applied for. Part-II (Aptitude — 50 Q) covers reasoning, quantitative, and general aptitude. Negative marking of ¼ mark per wrong/multiple answer — don't guess randomly. PwBD candidates get compensatory time as per GoI norms.
2
Stage 2 — Computer Skill Test (CST) [JOT-HR & JOT-F&A only] / Trade Test [JTT-Survey only]
For JOT-HR and JOT-F&A: Computer Skill Test is qualifying in nature. Qualifying marks: 50% for UR/EWS and 40% for reserved category. For JTT-Survey: Trade Test (practical skills assessment) is qualifying. Qualifying marks: 40% for UR/EWS and 30% for reserved category. CST/Trade Test carries NO weightage in final merit — only qualifying nature. Failure in CST/Trade Test despite passing CBT = not empanelled.
3
Stage 3 — Pre-Employment Medical Examination
Empanelled candidates undergo a pre-employment medical examination as per POWERGRID's medical standards. Appointment is provisional until medical fitness is confirmed. Candidates found medically unfit cannot be appointed. Final empanelment is done based on CBT merit (category-wise) with tie-breaking by date of birth (eldest placed higher in merit).
4
Stage 4 — Final Empanelment & Training Commencement
Separate merit lists are prepared post-wise for each region. Final empanelment is based on CBT marks (100% weightage), subject to qualifying CST/Trade Test and medical fitness. Selected candidates join POWERGRID/CTUIL for a 1-year training period at the designated region. Training is full-time. After successful completion, candidates are regularised into the post grade.
⚡ CBT Preparation Strategy — Part-I (120 marks) is the Decisive Section
- DTE (Electrical): Electrical circuit analysis, machines, power systems, protection, drives, switchgear, and energy meters. Revise complete 3-year Electrical Diploma syllabus — POWERGRID focus areas: power transmission, substation equipment, HV/EHV systems, HVDC basics
- DTC (Civil): Structural analysis, construction materials, soil mechanics, surveying, fluid mechanics, highways, estimation & costing — full civil diploma curriculum
- JOT-F&A: Inter CA/CMA syllabus — financial accounting, cost accounting, taxation basics, audit fundamentals — revisit exam materials from CA/CMA Institute
- JOT-HR: BBA-level HR topics — recruitment & selection, labour laws, industrial relations, training & development, performance management, personnel administration
- Negative marking discipline (–¼): Avoid guessing unless you can eliminate at least 2 options. Leave questions where you have no idea — skip and return rather than guess randomly
- Part-II Aptitude (50 marks): Number series, coding-decoding, analogies, data interpretation, percentages, averages, time & work — standard aptitude preparation across all posts is identical
- Previous POWERGRID Non-Executive papers: Use previous POWERGRID CC/10/2024 and CC/09/2024 pattern papers — same structure applies for 2026
