Government engineering jobs offer job security, attractive pay scales, and the chance to work on large public infrastructure and technology projects. Every year, public sector undertakings, the railways, SSC, state public works departments, and electricity boards release thousands of vacancies for diploma holders and engineering graduates. On this page you will find the latest engineering job notifications 2026 with vacancy details, eligibility, last date, and direct apply-online links for each post.

Types of Engineering Jobs in India

Government engineering posts are usually graded by experience and qualification. Junior Engineer (JE) is an entry-level supervisory post open to diploma and degree holders; Assistant Engineer (AE) is a degree-level officer post; Executive Engineer (EE) is a senior managerial role; and Graduate / Diploma Trainee posts are offered by PSUs as a fast track into officer cadre. Vacancies are available in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, and allied branches.

Major Engineering Recruitment Bodies

Engineers are recruited through several routes. The SSC JE exam fills Junior Engineer posts in central departments, and the RRB JE exam fills railway engineering posts. Top PSUs such as ONGC, NTPC, BHEL, IOCL, GAIL, SAIL, and PowerGrid recruit graduate engineers through the GATE score. State recruitment is handled by State Public Service Commissions, state PWDs, and electricity boards, while public sector banks recruit IT and other engineers as Specialist Officers.

Eligibility and Required Exams

The basic qualification is a diploma in engineering for JE posts and a B.E / B.Tech degree for AE and PSU officer posts in the relevant branch. Many PSUs shortlist candidates only through a valid GATE score, while SSC JE and RRB JE conduct their own written exams. The general age limit is usually 18 to 30 years for JE posts and up to 30 to 35 years for AE and PSU posts, with relaxation for SC, ST, OBC, PwD, and ex-servicemen as per government rules.
