NGEL Engineer eligibility, marks and experience
The 65 per cent marks bar is the filter that removes most applicants, and it is applied to the qualifying degree rather than to any later qualification.
| Eligibility question | What Advt. 04/26 requires |
|---|---|
| Minimum marks in the degree | 65 per cent for all categories, relaxed to 55 per cent for SC, ST and PwBD candidates. |

| Cut-off for computing age and experience | All computations are done with reference to the last date of receipt of the online application. |
NGEL salary CTC and tenure of appointment
This is a fixed term engagement rather than a regular NTPC posting, and the pay is quoted as a single indicative CTC rather than a pay scale.
| Pay and tenure question | What the advertisement states |
|---|---|
| Approximate CTC per annum | Rs 11,00,000 for all the advertised posts. |
| What the CTC includes | Fixed and variable components, HRA, mediclaim for self, spouse, dependent parents and two children, performance based variable pay and satisfactory service grant. |

| Length of the fixed term | Three years, which can be further extended up to two years as per organisational requirement. |
| Where will you be posted | NGEL corporate office, stations, sites, clusters, joint ventures and subsidiaries anywhere in India. |
NGEL application fee and last date to apply
The fee is modest and a large share of candidates are exempt from it entirely, but it is non-refundable, so eligibility should be checked before paying.
| Application question | Official position |
|---|---|
| Who pays the registration fee | General, EWS and OBC candidates pay a non-refundable fee of Rs 500. |
| Who is exempt from the fee | SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen candidates, and all female candidates, need not pay it. |

| Do documents have to be posted | No. Candidates download the system generated application slip and retain it; nothing is sent by post. |
NGEL selection process, CBT pattern and negative marking
NGEL has kept its options open here, and the two possible routes weight your interview and experience very differently.
| Selection question | What the advertisement prescribes |
|---|---|
| How many questions in the CBT | 100 questions in two hours, bilingual, with negative marking of one fourth of the maximum marks for that question for every wrong answer. |
| What the two CBT sections are | Section 1 is the Subject Knowledge Test with discipline specific questions. Section 2 is the Aptitude Test covering numerical ability, reading comprehension, reasoning, general awareness and data interpretation. |
| Weightage if a CBT is held | CBT 70 marks, experience 10 and interview 20, totalling 100. Qualifying marks are 40 per cent in SKT and 30 per cent in AT for UR, and 30 and 22.5 per cent for reserved categories. |
| Weightage if no CBT is held | Interview 70 and experience 30, totalling 100. UR candidates need 55 per cent in the interview and reserved candidates 45 per cent. |

What to do if you are not eligible or the link is not working
A few situations come up repeatedly with fixed term NGEL advertisements, and most of them are settled by the advertisement itself.
| Situation | What it means for your application |
|---|---|
| Your degree marks are below 65 per cent | You are not eligible unless you belong to SC, ST or PwBD, where the bar is 55 per cent. There is no relaxation on this for other categories. |
| You have less than 3 years of experience | Not eligible. Experience is computed against the last date of the online application, so it cannot be completed later. |
| The apply link is not available to you | The window runs only from 10:00 hrs on 18.08.2026 to 18:00 hrs on 07.09.2026. Outside those hours the form is closed. |
| You paid the fee and then found you are ineligible | The fee is not refunded under any circumstances, which is why the advertisement asks candidates to verify eligibility before paying. |
| You want a regular NTPC post | This advertisement is only for fixed term engagement of three years. Regular roll vacancies at NGEL are advertised separately, as under Advt. 03/26. |
