APGCL Recruitment 2026: 66 Assistant Manager & Junior Manager Posts, Apply Online

Two job levels, one power company, one application window that closes fast — that’s the shape of APGCL Recruitment 2026. The Assam Public Service Commission has put out two separate advertisements on behalf of Assam Power Generation Corporation Limited: one for degree-holders (Assistant Manager) and one for diploma-holders (Junior Manager). Together they add up to 66 vacancies, and a lot of candidates end up confused about which of the two they actually qualify for, since both share the same branches — Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, IT, and Instrumentation.

This guide walks through APGCL Recruitment 2026 the way it should be read — by clearing up which post fits your qualification first, then covering vacancy numbers, pay, age limit, fee, and the exact steps to apply online before the window shuts.

Which Post Are You Eligible For?

Before anything else, sort yourself into the right bucket. APGCL Recruitment 2026 covers two distinct posts, and applying to the wrong one wastes both your fee and your time.

• Assistant Manager (Advt. No. 09/2026): For candidates holding a full B.E./B.Tech degree in the relevant engineering branch, or an MBA/PGDM in HR for the HR post. Pay scale ₹37,300–₹1,12,000 with Grade Pay ₹14,200. Online window: 24 July to 23 August 2026.
• Junior Manager (Advt. No. 10/2026): For candidates holding a full-time engineering Diploma in the relevant branch. Pay scale ₹25,000–₹92,000 with Grade Pay ₹12,100. Online window: 22 July to 21 August 2026.

Both posts are open only to permanent residents of Assam, and both are processed through the same APSC portal — but they are two separate application forms with two separate fees. A diploma holder cannot apply for Assistant Manager, and a B.E./B.Tech holder without a diploma cannot apply for Junior Manager under this notification.

Do You Meet the Eligibility?

Residency comes first — you must be an Indian citizen and a permanent resident of Assam, proved through a valid Permanent Resident Certificate or an Employment Exchange Registration Certificate. On qualification, the engineering branches (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, IT, Instrumentation) need a minimum of 60% marks in the qualifying degree or diploma, relaxed to 50% for SC/ST candidates. The HR post under Assistant Manager needs a full-time two-year MBA/PGDM in HR, Personnel Management, or Industrial Relations with 60% marks, relaxed to 55% for SC/ST candidates.

On age, candidates must be between 21 and 38 years as on 1 January 2026. Here’s how the relaxation breaks down:

Age is calculated strictly from your Class X or Class XII admit card, pass certificate, or marksheet — no other document will be accepted as proof of date of birth under APGCL Recruitment 2026.

Application Fee

Even fee-exempt categories pay the ₹47.20 CSC processing charge, so no application under APGCL Recruitment 2026 is truly free of cost. The fee is non-refundable once paid, regardless of outcome.

How to Apply Online

1. Visit the official APSC recruitment portal: apscrecruitment.in
2. If you haven’t already, complete One Time Registration (OTR) using a valid, active email ID and mobile number
3. Log in and open the correct application form — Advt. No. 09/2026 for Assistant Manager or Advt. No. 10/2026 for Junior Manager
4. Fill in personal, educational, and category details; fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory
5. Upload required documents as PDF, each under 4 MB, scanned at 200 DPI in greyscale
6. Upload a recent photograph and signature, each between 50 KB and 200 KB
7. Preview your filled application carefully — no editing is allowed after final submission
8. Pay the fee online and submit; take a printout of the confirmation for your records

Documents to Keep Ready

• Permanent Resident Certificate or Employment Exchange Registration Certificate

• Caste certificate for SC/ST/OBC/MOBC candidates
• PwBD certificate (40% or above), where applicable
• No Objection Certificate for existing government employees

Selection Process

APSC has not yet fixed the exact selection method for APGCL Recruitment 2026 — it will be announced later through a corrigendum, depending on the number of applications received against each post. The Commission has also reserved the right to hold the screening or written test zone-wise across six zones of Assam (Silchar, Jorhat, Nagaon, Tezpur, Kokrajhar, Guwahati), based on how many candidates apply from each district.

Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected

• Applying for Assistant Manager with only a diploma, or for Junior Manager with a full degree — check the exact advertisement number before you start
• Uploading documents above the 4 MB limit or below 200 DPI scan quality, which get flagged during verification
• Skipping the Small Family Norms Declaration (Form-A), which is mandatory for direct recruitment under Assam Government rules
• Leaving OTR details outdated — since age, caste, and qualification are auto-fetched from your OTR profile, an unupdated profile can misrepresent your eligibility
• Assuming the fee is refundable if you later find you applied for the wrong post — it is not, under any circumstances

Few Tips Before You Apply

Update your One Time Registration profile first, before opening either application form — this saves you from re-entering the same details twice if you’re eligible for both posts. Keep your Class X and XII certificates scanned and ready, since no other document is accepted for age proof. If you are applying for both Assistant Manager and Junior Manager based on holding both a diploma and a later degree, remember each is a separate form with a separate fee — there is no combined application under APGCL Recruitment 2026.
