The OPSC AEE Recruitment 2026 is the notification that candidates searching for OPSC AEE Recruitment 2026, OPSC AEE vacancy and OPSC AEE apply online have been waiting for. The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) has released a notification on its official website for the recruitment of Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE), under Advt No. 13 of 2026-27. This recruitment is for 758 positions in total. Of these, 750 posts are for OPSC AEE Civil — Assistant Executive Engineer (Civil) — in the Water Resources, Works, and H & UD Departments, and 8 posts are for OPSC AEE Mechanical — Assistant Executive Engineer (Mechanical) — in the Water Resources Department. Candidates should read the complete details of this recruitment carefully, and confirm the dates from the OPSC official website before applying.

Anyone checking OPSC AEE eligibility should start with the two requirements that decide whether an application is accepted: the engineering qualification and the OPSC AEE GATE score. For AEE (Civil), a candidate needs a degree in Civil Engineering from a recognized university or institution, or AMIE in Civil. For AEE (Mechanical), the requirement is a degree in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized university or institution, or AMIE in Mechanical. Along with the degree, a valid GATE 2024, 2025 or 2026 score in the same branch is compulsory — Civil to Civil only, and Mechanical to Mechanical only — so a score in any other branch does not count for OPSC AEE. Only the QR-coded GATE Score Card is accepted; the GATE marksheet is not considered, and the score must be equal to or more than the category qualifying mark. On age, the OPSC AEE age limit is 21 to 42 years as on 01 January 2026, with relaxation of 5 years for SC, ST, SEBC, Women and Ex-Servicemen, 10 years for PwBD, a cumulative 15 years for PwBD candidates from SC, ST or SEBC, and up to 45 years for Diploma Engineers Service JEs.

The OPSC AEE selection process is different from recruitments that hold a written test, and candidates searching for OPSC AEE selection process should note this clearly: there is no written exam. Selection is made on GATE Score with 90% weightage plus Interview with 10% weightage. Because the GATE score carries most of the weight, the same-branch GATE score and the category qualifying mark matter as much as the interview. The admit card will be available before the interview, and candidates searching for OPSC AEE admit card should watch the official website for the interview schedule, which will be notified. The result date is Notify Soon, so candidates searching for OPSC AEE result should keep checking the official website rather than relying on any fixed date. There is one more point that surprises many applicants: the OPSC AEE application fee is Nil. No examination fee is to be paid, because this recruitment is conducted through GATE Score, and the same Nil fee applies to General and all candidates as well as SC, ST, SEBC, PwBD and Women candidates.
