CSPC Recruitment 2026: Important dates

How many vacancies are available?

The notice contains 1,501 posts across Class-II and Class-III/IV recruitment. The largest groups are technical and operational posts, including Assistant Engineer, Junior Engineer, Data Entry Operator, Attendant (Plant), and Fire Attendant.

Best posts for engineering aspirants

Engineering candidates should compare the branch, company, pay matrix and selection stage before choosing a post. A higher qualification does not automatically make a candidate eligible for every discipline; the degree or diploma must match the notification.

Important: The vacancy count in the table above is shown for the clearly identified entries in the notice. Always check the complete post-wise table and company allocation before final submission.

Eligibility: qualification, age and domicile

The minimum qualification is post-specific. Assistant Engineer posts generally require a four-year engineering degree. Junior Engineer posts generally accept a three-year diploma or a relevant four-year engineering degree. Other posts may require Class 10, Class 12, ITI, a medical degree, CA/CMA, MCA, M.Sc. Chemistry or a specialised qualification.

For most Class-II posts, the minimum age is 21 years. For Junior Engineer, Attendant and several Class-III/IV posts, the minimum age is 18 years. Maximum age depends on the post, gender, category and whether the applicant is a Chhattisgarh domicile. The notice states that the age is calculated as on 1 January 2026 and that the maximum age, including relaxations, is generally capped at 45 years where applicable.

Domicile warning for reserved-category aspirants

The notice states that SC, ST, OBC, PwD and sports-quota candidates of Chhattisgarh domicile are considered for reserved posts under the applicable state rules. It also provides horizontal reservation for eligible female candidates of Chhattisgarh domicile. Check your certificate status before selecting a reserved category.

Salary and pay matrix

The recruitment offers structured pay matrices across technical and non-technical posts. The minimum basic pay ranges from ₹14,800 for S-1 posts to ₹56,100 for O-1 posts, before applicable allowances and deductions.

Application fee

The fee depends on the post group and category. Departmental candidates from the eligible Chhattisgarh State Power Companies are exempt from the fee.

Payment is accepted online through debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. The application fee is non-refundable.

CSPC Recruitment 2026 exam pattern

The online Computer-Based Test (CBT) is of two hours and contains 100 multiple-choice questions for 100 marks. It has two parts:

• Part I: Professional subject — 80 questions.
• Part II: General section — 20 questions covering General Knowledge, English verbal ability, Hindi verbal ability, logical reasoning, general mental ability and quantitative abilities.

Each correct answer carries one mark. A wrong answer attracts a negative marking of 0.25 mark. Unattempted questions receive no marks.

Selection process by post

The selection route is not the same for every post. This is especially important for aspirants preparing for JE, Fire, Security, Stenographer or DEO positions.

How to apply online

1. Visit the official Chhattisgarh State Power Companies website and open the recruitment section.
2. Read the detailed instructions and choose the correct company, post, branch and category.
3. Enter personal, educational, domicile and category details exactly as shown on your documents.
4. Upload the required photograph, signature, certificates and supporting documents in the prescribed format.
5. Fill company preferences carefully wherever the post is available across CSPTCL, CSPDCL and CSPGCL. The notice states that the company allocation is based on merit, preference and vacancy availability, and a later change request will not be entertained.
6. Pay the applicable fee online by 26 November 2026 at 11:55 p.m.
7. Submit the form early, download the final application and retain the payment receipt.

Avoid these application mistakes

• Do not select a branch or post without checking the exact qualification.
• Do not wait until the final hour to upload documents or pay the fee.
• Do not assume that a reserved-category certificate from another state will provide Chhattisgarh reservation benefits.
• Do not ignore the physical standards for Fire and Security posts.
• Do not overlook the typing or shorthand requirement for Stenographer and DEO posts.

Aspirant preparation strategy

Start by choosing one realistic target post. Make a one-page eligibility checklist containing your branch, qualification, age, domicile, category, fee and required documents. This prevents a common mistake: preparing for a post but discovering at document verification that the qualification or certificate does not match.

For technical posts, divide preparation time between the professional subject and the 20-question general section. Since the CBT has 80 professional questions, technical accuracy should be your first priority. At the same time, practise Hindi and English verbal ability, reasoning, general knowledge and quantitative aptitude every day.

For Stenographer and DEO applicants, begin skill-test practice immediately instead of waiting for the CBT result. Fire and Security applicants should check the physical requirements in the notice and complete medical or fitness preparation well before the next stage.
