The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has released Advertisement No. 83/2026 dated 5 October 2026 for 78 Technician Grade II (Electrical and Mechanical) posts under the Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand Limited (PTCUL) and Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (UJVNL). Online applications open on 12 October 2026 and close on 25 November 2026 at sssc.uk.gov.in. The tentative written competitive examination date is 14 March 2027.
Important Note: Three things every candidate must know. First, 2 years of post-qualification work experience in the relevant trade is mandatory — this means experience gained AFTER obtaining the prescribed High School plus Vocational Certificate qualification. Work done during or before qualification does not count. Second, reservation benefits (fee concession, age relaxation, category quota) are available ONLY to candidates who are eligible under Uttarakhand State rules — candidates from other states apply as Unreserved. Verify your eligibility from the official notification PDF before selecting your category. Third, vacancies may be increased, decreased or withdrawn by the department without notice. Apply for the correct post and department — PTCUL and UJVNL are separate organisations and the Technician Grade II (Electrical) posts under each have different vacancy counts.
