The Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) will close online applications for 110 posts on Monday, 12 October 2026, at 5 pm. Eligible Indian nationals can apply through cpri.res.in. The recruitment drive includes Engineering Officer, Engineering Assistant, Scientific Assistant, Technician, Technical Attendant, Assistant Grade II and Multi-Tasking Staff posts. The registration process began on 19 September 2026.

Candidates must submit separate applications for each post and pay the applicable fee. Vacancies include seven Engineering Officer Grade 1 (Electrical) posts, one Engineering Officer Grade 1 (Civil) post, 10 Engineering Assistant (Electrical) posts, two Scientific Assistant posts, seven Technician Grade 1 (Electrical) posts, 29 Assistant Grade II posts and 14 Multi-Tasking Staff Grade 1 posts. The institute said vacancies are provisional and may change.
The deadline leaves applicants with less than 30 hours to complete the process. CPRI has reserved 14 Multi-Tasking Staff posts for ex-servicemen, a targeted intake. The requirement of a GATE score for Engineering Officer posts and a NIELIT computer certificate for Assistant Grade II posts raises the entry bar. Candidates who miss the 12 October 5 pm cutoff will have no further window unless CPRI extends the date, which the notice does not mention.
