If you are hunting for a PGCIL Diploma Trainee admit card 2026, here is what POWERGRID’s own recruitment pages show as on 10.09.2026. Its master employment opportunities table carries 36 entries covering 2020 to 2026, and not one of them is a Diploma Trainee recruitment. The Computer Based Test held on 01.07.2026, which several sites attach to Diploma Trainee, belongs to a different post entirely. This page corrects that, along with five details it used to get wrong itself.
What POWERGRID lists for 2026
The corporate recruitment list is a single table on the company’s own site, so it is checkable rather than a matter of opinion.
| Recruitment record | What the company’s site shows on 10.09.2026 |
|---|---|
| Diploma Trainee entries in the master list | None. The employment opportunities table holds 36 rows and no row mentions Diploma Trainee |
| Where Diploma Trainee does appear | Only in an archive name list on the careers page, and one of those two entries is labelled 2023-24 |
| The 01.07.2026 exam | It is the CBT for the Special Recruitment Drive for ST category, Officer Trainee (Company Secretary), advertisement CC/02/2026 dated 28.04.2026 |
| That drive’s application window | 29.04.2026 to 19.05.2026, now closed |
| That drive’s current stage | Its objection management link and a notice counting candidates who appeared in the CBT are both published |
| Newest 2026 corporate opening | The same ST drive. Nothing newer than it sits in the 2026 list |
| Regional hiring | POWERGRID lists regional recruitments separately from the corporate list, so a diploma level vacancy in a region would not appear in the table above |

What this page had wrong
Saying so is more useful than quietly deleting them, because the same errors are still circulating on other pages for this exam.
| Error found | What checking showed |
|---|---|
| The download link | It pointed at a digialm login page that belongs to AIIMS Jodhpur. That page’s own text tells the reader to visit aiimsjodhpur.edu.in and warns it is not a fresh recruitment. It has nothing to do with POWERGRID |
| The exam date | 1 July 2026 was presented as the Diploma Trainee exam. On POWERGRID’s site that date is the CBT for the Officer Trainee (CS) ST drive |
| The career portal address | The bare careers subdomain redirects to a POWERGRID host that does not respond at all. Only the recruitment-nextgen login path answers |
| The 670 post figure | No POWERGRID notice in the current list supports it, so it has been removed rather than repeated |
| Qualifying marks | An earlier version said 70 percent was the qualifying mark in the exam. 70 percent is a diploma marks requirement in past POWERGRID advertisements, not a paper cut off, and the two are different things |
If you applied for a diploma level POWERGRID post
An application you actually submitted still exists somewhere, and these are the only places it can be checked.
- Sign in at the recruitment portal login in the table above, using the registration number from your application acknowledgement rather than an email link.
- Look at the advertisement number on your own acknowledgement. If it reads CC/02/2026 you applied to the Officer Trainee ST drive, not a Diploma Trainee post.
- Check the regional recruitments section on the careers page, because a diploma level vacancy advertised by a region never appears in the corporate table.
- If your acknowledgement quotes a 2023 or 2024 advertisement, that cycle is closed and its notices sit in the archive list.
- Ignore any admit card link that opens a login for a different organisation. That is the specific error this page carried, and it is common on aggregator pages for this exam.
Checked on 10.09.2026 against POWERGRID’s job opportunities page, its 36 row employment opportunities table, and the login page the old link actually opened. Where the company has published nothing, this page says so rather than filling the gap with a date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a PGCIL Diploma Trainee admit card 2026 available?
No. POWERGRID's own employment opportunities table held 36 entries covering 2020 to 2026 when it was checked on 10.09.2026, and none of them is a Diploma Trainee recruitment. With no such recruitment listed there is no admit card to download.
Whose exam was held on 01.07.2026 then?
The Computer Based Test on 01.07.2026 belongs to the Special Recruitment Drive for ST category for Officer Trainee (Company Secretary), advertisement CC/02/2026 dated 28.04.2026. Its objection management link and a count of candidates who appeared are both published.
Why did the old download link ask for an AIIMS Jodhpur login?
Because that is what it was. The link on the earlier version of this page opened a digialm applicant login belonging to AIIMS Jodhpur, whose own page text directs candidates to aiimsjodhpur.edu.in. It was never a POWERGRID page and it has been removed.
Which POWERGRID login should I use for an application I already submitted?
The recruitment portal at careers.powergrid.in/recruitment-nextgen/h/login.aspx. The bare careers subdomain redirects to a POWERGRID host that does not respond, so use the full path.
Could a diploma level POWERGRID vacancy exist that this page has missed?
Yes, through a region. POWERGRID lists regional recruitments separately from the corporate table, so a diploma level vacancy advertised by a region would not appear in the 36 row list. The careers page carries that section.
