The APEPDCL AEE 2026 selection is entirely based on a Computer Based Test (CBT) - there is no interview stage. The exam will be conducted jointly for APTRANSCO, APEPDCL, APCPDCL, APSPDCL, and APGENCO, and candidates selected will be allotted to a utility based on merit, reservation, and the preferences indicated in their application. There are no negative marks in the CBT. The CBT consists of 100 questions for 100 marks - the same pattern applies to all three posts (Electrical, Telecom, Civil). The question paper is divided into Core subject questions (70 marks) and General sections (30 marks combined). Minimum qualifying marks must be secured to be considered for certificate verification. Candidates should note that merely securing minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee a call for certificate verification. Selection at 1:1 ratio for certificate verification also does not vest any right to final selection. No TA/DA is payable for attending CBT or certificate verification. The CBT is scheduled between 22 and 29 August 2026 . The initial answer key will be released on the 2nd day after the last exam, with a 7-day window for objections. The final key follows within 7 days of the objection deadline. The merit list (with marks) is expected to be announced tentatively in the last week of September 2026 . Marks will be normalised using a standard normalization formula when the exam is held in multiple shifts.

All required certificates must be uploaded at the time of application submission itself - they cannot be submitted separately at a later stage. If certificates are not uploaded before the last date, the Hall Ticket will not be generated. The following documents are required based on category and claim: Engineering degree certificate and mark sheets (relevant discipline) Date of birth proof (SSC/10th certificate) Community / Caste Certificate (SC/ST/BC/EWS) issued by the competent authority - EWS certificate must be issued within one year prior to the notification date Persons with Benchmark Disabilities: valid SADAREM Certificate (issued by the competent authority) Local Status Certificate (Study Certificate or Residence Certificate) - required to claim local candidate status Candidates who migrated from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh during 02.06.2014 to 01.06.2024: Local Status Certificate issued as per G.O.

Based on patterns observed in similar AP Power Utility recruitment drives, the following are common errors that cost candidates their candidature. These are original editorial observations and not from the official notification: Not linking Aadhaar to your mobile number before applying: Registration requires an OTP sent to the Aadhaar-linked number. Candidates who have not linked their Aadhaar to their current mobile number cannot complete registration - do this at least 2–3 days before the portal opens. Uploading an outdated EWS certificate: The EWS certificate must be issued within one year prior to the notification date (i.e., after 25 June 2025). Older certificates will be rejected at verification. Confusing Journal Number with form submission: Many candidates mistake fee payment confirmation (Journal Number) for a completed application. You must log back in and complete the entire form with document uploads after payment. Selecting wrong utility or zone preferences: Preferences for Power Utility and Zone/Unit entered at the time of application are final. Once submitted, they cannot be changed. Careless selection here has long-term career impact. Uploading illegible or cropped documents: All uploaded certificates must be clear, legible scanned copies of originals. Tampered documents or partially visible scans will lead to outright rejection even if the candidate is otherwise eligible. Degree from Distance Mode via out-of-state universities: Engineering degrees awarded under Distance Mode through study centres of State Universities outside Andhra Pradesh are explicitly invalid for this recruitment. Do not apply if your degree falls in this category. Attempting external influence on posting preferences: The notification contains a strict Institutional Integrity clause - any attempt to apply external pressure or influence at any stage leads to permanent disqualification from this and all future APEPDCL recruitments.
