Selection Process for Tripura TPSC JE Recruitment 2026
TPSC will select candidates for Junior Engineer (Electrical) posts through a three-stage process under the Combined Competitive Examination Rules-2022:
- Preliminary Examination (MCQ Type) – 100 Marks This is a screening test only. MCQ-based, objective format. Marks in this stage are not counted for final merit — it just qualifies you for the Mains.
- Main Examination (Written) – 500 Marks The core competitive stage. Detailed written examination testing technical knowledge and general aptitude. Marks here are decisive for your rank.
