TNEB / TANGEDCO
Tamil Nadu's electricity utility (generation and distribution), recruiting Assistant Engineers, Assessors and Field Assistants through its own exams.
TANGEDCO recruitment runs on its own notifications and portal, completely outside TNPSC: no OTR, no CCSE. Its exam-recruited posts span engineering grades like Assistant Engineer and field grades like Assessor and Field Assistant. Engineering aspirants often weigh TANGEDCO AE recruitment against TNPSC's CESE; they are different bodies recruiting similar engineering roles on separate calendars.
