The Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) has opened online applications for 110 vacancies across posts including Engineering Officer, Engineering Assistant, Scientific Assistant, Technician, Technical Attendant, Assistant and Multi-Tasking Staff. The registration began on September 19 and will close on October 12 at 5 pm. Candidates can apply through cpri.res.in.

Eligibility varies by post. Engineering Officer applicants need a first-class engineering degree and a valid GATE score from 2024, 2025 or 2026. Other posts require diplomas, ITI certificates or degrees with experience. The cut-off date for age and qualifications is October 12. Age relaxation applies as per government norms.
Selection involves GATE scores, computer-based tests and skill or trade tests depending on the post. Pay scales follow the 7th Pay Commission, ranging from Rs 18,000 to Rs 1,42,400. SC, ST, PwBD, ex-servicemen and women candidates are exempt from the application fee.
CPRI, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Power, conducts R&D across electricity generation, transmission and distribution. Its last major recruitment was in 2023 for 87 posts. The 110 vacancies now on offer are provisional and could be revised. Candidates should note that the Engineering Officer posts require a GATE score, a national-level exam conducted by the IITs. The institute has units in nine cities, so postings are not limited to Bengaluru. The application window is 23 days, a typical duration for central public sector recruitment.
