Eligibility Criteria

Make sure you meet both the age and qualification requirements before you apply. All eligibility conditions are reckoned as on 01 July 2026.

Age Limit (as on 01.07.2026)

Educational Qualification & Experience

You’ll need a relevant 3-year diploma plus hands-on work experience — CPCL is looking for candidates who can hit the ground running.

✅ Good to know: If you hold a higher qualification such as B.E./B.Tech, MBA, CA, LLB, or MCA, you are not eligible for these posts.

Selection Process

CPCL Non-Executive Recruitment 2026 selection happens in three stages:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): Held for 120 marks in two parts — General Aptitude (50 questions covering Verbal Ability, General Knowledge, Reasoning/Logical Deduction, and Numerical Ability) and Discipline Knowledge (70 questions related to your specific stream). The test runs for 2 hours, and there’s a penalty of ¼ mark for every wrong answer. You’ll need at least 40% marks to qualify (with a 5% relaxation for SC/ST/PwBD candidates).
2. Document Verification: Candidates are shortlisted for this stage in a 1:3 ratio based on CBT performance, where your certificates and testimonials are checked against your application.
3. Skill, Proficiency and/or Physical Test (SPPT): This stage is qualifying in nature and applies to candidates who clear document verification.

Your final selection also depends on being declared medically fit as per CPCL’s Pre-Employment Medical Standards. The CBT is tentatively planned for September/October 2026, and will be conducted only at Chennai.
