Application Fee
NEPA Limited has not specified an application fee in the notification for this recruitment. [Check official notification] for any updates before applying.
NEPA Limited Recruitment 2026 Salary
Pay under this recruitment ranges widely depending on the post and department, going from ₹13,500 per month for the Painter position to ₹45,000 per month for Shift Incharge (Power House) — the highest-paying role in this notification. All figures are all-inclusive monthly remuneration, so there’s no separate breakup of basic pay, HRA, or DA mentioned for these contractual posts.
💡 Pro Tip: Since this is a fixed-term contractual engagement rather than a regular PSU appointment, allowances and benefits typically applicable to permanent central government employees — such as those tracked under 8th Pay Commission salary revisions — do not apply here. Always confirm the exact remuneration structure for your specific post during the interview stage.
Selection Process
Selection for NEPA Limited Recruitment 2026 follows a single, straightforward stage:
- Screening of Applications — Nepa Limited will screen all applications received against the eligibility criteria for each post.
- Interview — Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview, conducted either online or physically, depending on the post and number of applicants.
- Medical Fitness — Selected candidates must be certified medically fit by the Incharge of Nepa Limited Hospital before final engagement.
Meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee an interview call. The company can raise the minimum standards to shortlist candidates in proportion to the number of vacancies, and its decision on this is final.
