KPTCL Junior Engineer (Civil) recruits JEs for the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited — the state's power transmission utility. Regular recruitment cycles (often 1,000+ combined posts with ESCOMs) make it a major target for Karnataka's civil engineers.
Selection is a single online written test of 100 marks followed by document verification — a compact, speed-driven paper where the general awareness section on Karnataka matters as much as core civil engineering.
