Chhattisgarh power company recruitment 2026: 1,501 posts, apply by November 26

Chhattisgarh's three state-owned power companies opened online applications on Friday, 6 November 2026, for 1,501 permanent posts, and the window closes at 11:55 pm on Thursday, 26 November 2026. The detailed advertisement, covering 38 types of posts, was issued on Thursday, 5 November, and the recruitment follows directions from Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, according to state reports. Applications and the full notice are on the power companies' official website, cspc.co.in.

For young job-seekers in Chhattisgarh, this is one of the larger state recruitments of the year, and it is concentrated in entry-level and technical roles that suit recent graduates, diploma holders and those with computer skills. Power utilities are stable public employers with a presence across districts, from the generating stations to the distribution offices that run local supply. A recruitment of this size, open to state residents for most of its posts, matters most to candidates in smaller towns who look to state jobs rather than to private employers in the metros.

The split between the two groups is the most useful thing for an applicant to understand. Class II posts are officer-level roles such as assistant engineer and need a degree in the relevant field. Class III and IV posts, which make up most of the vacancies, include technical and clerical roles such as junior engineer, data entry operator and attendant, and the reported domicile rule applies to them. Candidates from other states should check the advertisement for the eligibility conditions of the Class II posts.

Several job portals have published their own tables of post-wise numbers, and some of them do not agree with each other, especially on the number of junior engineer and assistant engineer posts. The advertisement on cspc.co.in is the only document that settles those figures, the eligibility rules and the age limits for each post.

Peepals calculation: Class III and IV posts make up about 87% of the vacancies (1,306 ÷ 1,501 = 0.870), and data entry operator posts alone account for about 41% (609 ÷ 1,501 = 0.406). The online window, from 6 November to 26 November, gives candidates 21 calendar days counting both the first and last days. Our calculation from the reported figures.

What the reader should do next: read the full advertisement for the specific post on cspc.co.in, check the qualification and age limit for that post, keep the domicile certificate ready for Class III and IV posts, and finish both the form and the fee payment well before the night of 26 November.

Short-term: Graduates, engineering diploma holders and computer-trained candidates in Chhattisgarh have about three weeks to apply, with the form and the fee both due by the same deadline.

Long-term: Filling 1,501 posts adds staff to the state's generation, transmission and distribution network, which handles billing, maintenance and supply across districts.

Who is affected: Young job-seekers with Chhattisgarh domicile for Class III and IV posts; engineering graduates applying for Class II officer posts; and electricity consumers served by the three power companies.

What to watch next: The application deadline at 11:55 pm on Thursday, 26 November 2026.
