Eligibility Criteria
| Criterion | Detail |
|---|---|
| Educational Qualification | Engineering Degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Production, plus a full-time Diploma in Industrial Safety from an institute recognised under the Factories Act Rules. Or an Engineering Degree in Industrial Safety / Fire and Safety from an institution recognised under the same rules. |
| Minimum Marks | 65% in the engineering degree (55% for SC candidates). If your marksheet shows only CGPA or grades, you need a certificate from your university that converts it to a percentage. |
| Experience (desired) | 1 year after your qualification in areas such as safety rules under the Factories Act (the law that sets safety rules for factories), building or auditing safety systems, promoting safety culture, and safety checks of machinery and buildings. Safety training and firefighting experience is an added advantage. An experience certificate is a mandatory upload. |

| Age Relaxation | SC, ST, OBC (NCL), Ex-Servicemen and PwBD candidates get age relaxation as per Government of India rules. So do candidates who normally lived in Jammu and Kashmir from 01.01.1980 to 31.12.1989. The notice does not give the exact years, so check the official notification. |
| Nationality | Indian nationals above 18 years |
| Application Restriction | Apply online only. Do not apply if you are still studying or waiting for your final result. |
So your age is counted on 01.07.2026, not on the day you apply. If your marksheet shows only CGPA or grades, get the percentage-conversion certificate before you start the form.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Stage 1: Online application scrutiny | NEEPCO shortlists applications on your marks in the engineering degree, the Diploma in Industrial Safety (or the Industrial Safety / Fire and Safety degree), and your experience. Depending on how many apply, NEEPCO can set cut-off marks and limit how many candidates are called. |
| Stage 2: Computer-Based Test (CBT) | A CBT is an exam you take on a computer. This one has 100 multiple-choice questions of 1 mark each, with 4 options per question, and lasts 2 hours. Every wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. Section 1 is the Subject Knowledge Test on Industrial Safety / Fire and Safety (75 marks). Section 2 is the Executive Aptitude Test (25 marks), covering numerical ability, reading comprehension, reasoning, general awareness and data interpretation. Candidates are called in order of merit. |
| Stage 3: Personal Interview | Shortlisted candidates are asked about general knowledge, aptitude for the job, extra-curricular activities and subject knowledge. The marks for the interview are not given in the notice. |
| Final: Merit and offer | The offer of appointment goes to suitable candidates in order of merit, as per NEEPCO’s need. If two candidates have the same marks, the older candidate ranks higher. NEEPCO will not answer queries from candidates who are not selected. |
In short: you are first picked on your marks and experience, then you take a 2-hour online test, then an interview. The notice does not say how the test marks and interview marks are combined for the final merit list.
Salary and Benefits
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pay Scale | Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,60,000, with 3% steps (IDA scale, a pay system many government companies use) |
| Basic Pay | Rs 50,000 a month |
| Dearness Allowance (DA) | Paid on basic pay at the rate in force. DA is an allowance that adjusts pay for rising prices. |
| House Rent Allowance (HRA) | At the applicable rate, where company accommodation is not available |
| Cafeteria Allowance | 35% of basic pay |
| Location Based Allowance (LBA) | 10% of basic pay |
| Provident Fund (PF) | 12% of basic pay plus DA |
| NEDCSS | 9% of basic pay plus DA. This is NEEPCO’s own superannuation scheme, a retirement savings scheme. |
| Other Benefits | Leave, medical benefit for you and your dependent family, Performance Related Pay (PRP), gratuity (as applicable), uniform, communication expenses and furniture reimbursement, as per company rules |
| Minimum Monthly CTC | Around Rs 1,00,000 |
In plain terms, you start at Rs 50,000 basic pay, and NEEPCO says the full package works out to about Rs 1 lakh a month. CTC counts everything the company spends on you, so the money reaching your bank each month can be lower than that figure.
