The recruitment routes under this heading

• Assistant Engineer and Assistant Executive Engineer — engineering posts across irrigation, panchayat raj, public health and municipal engineering, in the civil, electrical and mechanical branches.
• Assistant Scientist and technical officer posts — in state laboratories, pollution control, agriculture and allied departments, requiring the relevant science degree.
• Divisional Accounts Officer — the state accounts service, examined on accounting, audit and financial rules alongside general studies.
• Departmental technical posts — notified individually by TGPSC for specific departments, with syllabuses matched to the discipline.

The conditions common to all of them

• Age 18 to 44, reckoned as on 1 July 2026 — the upper limit having been raised from 34 to 44 by a government order of May 2026. The one exception is Assistant Scientist, notified in April before that order, which ran 18 to 34 — the likeliest single point of candidate error in the whole 2026 set.
• Relaxations are identical across the notifications — 5 years for SC, ST, BC and EWS candidates; 10 years for persons with disability; up to 5 years for state government employees by length of regular service, though corporation and municipality employees do not qualify; 3 years plus service rendered for ex-servicemen and NCC instructors. Nobody remains eligible past 61.
• Two fees, charged separately — an application processing fee of ₹1,000 for OC and BC candidates and ₹500 for SC, ST and PwD candidates, plus an examination fee — ₹120 for most posts, ₹80 for Seed Certification Officer and Assistant Scientist. Unemployed applicants are exempt from the examination fee only; the processing fee has no exemption.
• Seed Certification Officer ignores local reservation — selection is on state-wide merit, which changes the calculation for candidates from districts where a local quota would normally help them.

The rules that apply across the technical recruitments

• Paper I is the same paper everywhere — General Studies and General Abilities, 150 questions for 150 marks in 150 minutes, bilingual in English and Telugu. Paper II is 150 questions in 150 minutes and is set in English only.
• The subject paper is two-thirds of the 450-mark schemes — a candidate who arrives strong on general studies and average on their own discipline has the ratio backwards.
• Qualifying marks are 40, 35 and 30 per cent — 40% for OC, EWS and sportspersons, 35% for BC candidates, 30% for SC, ST and PH candidates. The notifications say in terms that reaching the minimum vests no right to selection.
• There is no interview in any 2026 technical notification — the words interview, oral test and viva do not appear as a selection stage in any of them. At least one well-known coaching site says the AEE process includes an interview; it does not.
• The notifications are silent on negative marking — none of the nine mentions it. That is an absence of a provision rather than a stated guarantee — read your own notification before deciding how freely to guess.
• Ties are broken by local status first — then date of birth with the elder ranked higher, then marks in the subject paper, then the date and percentage of the qualifying examination. Candidates must be willing to serve anywhere in Telangana.

Preparing for a recruitment that has not been notified yet

1. Treat your own discipline as the main subject it is 300 of the 450 marks in the engineering and planning schemes. General studies is preparation you share with every other TGPSC candidate; the subject paper is the one you are actually competing on.
2. Work from the notification’s own annexure there is no separate syllabus file for any of the 2026 technical posts — the scheme and full syllabus are Annexure-II inside each notification PDF. The commission’s syllabus page covers only the Group services and lecturer posts.
3. Use the old AE and AEE papers, which do exist unlike the Group services, the commission’s archive holds real question papers for Assistant Engineer in civil, mechanical and general studies, and for Assistant Executive Engineer in civil, mechanical and general studies. There is no electrical paper, so electrical candidates work from the civil and mechanical papers for the general studies half and from the syllabus for their own.
4. Keep documents notification-ready the degree must be held and the result declared as at the notification date, and the window is five to six weeks. Certificates assembled after a notification appears are frequently assembled too late.
5. Practise Paper I to the same clock as everyone else 150 questions in 150 minutes, and it is the half of the examination where drilled method beats accumulated reading.
