BTech / BE Engineering Government Jobs in Kerala 2026

BTech government jobs in Kerala 2026 - who is hiring

The live table above filters notifications requiring an engineering degree - BE, BTech, AMIE or MTech - in any branch. Kerala's engineering recruitment has three layers: Kerala PSC for the state engineering departments and KSEB, direct recruitment by state PSUs and project bodies, and central institutions and PSUs in Kerala. Civil engineers see the most state posts, electrical engineers the largest single recruiter (KSEB), mechanical engineers the strongest PSU demand (Cochin Shipyard, FACT, BPCL), and electronics and computer engineers the widest central and IT-sector options (ISRO, C-DAC, KELTRON, NIT, IIT, KSITM). The Engineering Jobs category page covers ITI and diploma technical posts too; this page is for degree-level engineers.

Kerala PSC Assistant Engineer 2026

Kerala PSC notifies Assistant Engineer (Civil) for PWD, Irrigation, Kerala Water Authority, LSGD, Harbour Engineering, Ground Water and Kerala State Housing Board; Assistant Engineer (Mechanical) for Irrigation, KWA and PWD; Assistant Engineer (Electrical) for PWD Electrical Wing, LSGD, KWA and the Electrical Inspectorate; and Assistant Engineer (Electrical and Electronics, Civil) for KSEB - KSEB AE being the largest engineering recruitment in the state. Other degree categories include Assistant Town Planner (BTech Civil or Planning), Lecturer in Polytechnics and Engineering Colleges (BTech/MTech), Assistant Director in Industries and Factories and Boilers (Inspector of Factories), Motor Vehicle Inspector (diploma or degree), Assistant Executive Engineer (by transfer and direct), and Scientific Officer posts. Eligibility is a BE/BTech in the branch (AMIE accepted); selection is an OMR or online exam on the branch subjects plus general knowledge and a rank list valid two to three years. AE rank lists in PWD, KWA and KSEB have produced hundreds of appointments per list.

Engineering jobs in Kerala PSUs and project bodies

Cochin Shipyard (Executive Trainees through GATE or its own exam, Project Officers, Assistant Managers and Project Assistants on contract - the most active PSU recruiter), Kochi Metro Rail Limited (Junior Engineers, Assistant Managers, Station Controllers, Water Metro engineers), Kerala Rail Development Corporation and KIIFB (project engineers and managers), KRDCL and Kerala Roads Fund Board (site engineers), KELTRON and KSIDC (engineer trainees, project engineers), KMML, TCC, Malabar Cements, Kerala Feeds and KSRTC (engineers and technical managers), KSITM, Kerala Startup Mission and Digital University (software and IT engineers), and Kerala State IT Infrastructure and KFON (network engineers) all recruit directly through their websites, mostly on contract or fixed term with a written test or interview. Many of these contract engineer posts convert into long-term project roles and are far faster than a PSC list.

ISRO, central PSUs and institutions in Kerala

VSSC, LPSC and IISU recruit Scientist/Engineer SC (BE/BTech with 65%, through the ICRB centralised exam or GATE score) in mechanical, electronics, computer science, electrical, civil and chemical branches, plus Technical Assistant, project and apprentice posts; they are the most sought-after engineering employers in Kerala. FACT and BPCL Kochi Refinery take Management and Engineer Trainees (GATE for BPCL), HLL Lifecare and HLL Biotech take engineers, Cochin Port hires engineers and surveyors, CIFT, NIIST, RGCB and NCESS recruit project engineers and technical officers, NIT Calicut and IIT Palakkad hire Junior Engineers, Technical Officers, project engineers and research staff, and C-DAC Thiruvananthapuram runs its own Project Engineer and Scientist recruitment in software, embedded systems and networking. Southern Railway (RRB JE and SSE) and Naval, MES and DRDO establishments also post engineering vacancies. None of these require Malayalam.

Freshers: apprentices and project posts

A fresh BTech graduate should apply for Graduate Apprentice posts under the Board of Apprenticeship Training (Southern Region) at Cochin Shipyard, VSSC, FACT, BPCL, KSEB, KWA, KSRTC, KMML and other units - selection is by marks, training is one year with a stipend, and apprentices often get weightage in later recruitment. Project Engineer and Project Assistant posts at NIT, IIT, C-DAC, CUSAT and the research institutes, site engineer posts under KRDCL, LSGD and KIIFB projects, and engineer trainee posts at KELTRON and KSIDC are the other fresher routes. GATE opens Scientist/Engineer and central PSU doors.

Documents and application

Keep the BTech degree certificate and consolidated mark list (or provisional certificate where accepted), AMIE certificate if applicable, GATE scorecard, project and internship certificates, experience letters, AutoCAD, STAAD, PLC or software certificates, community and non-creamy layer certificates (Kerala and central formats), ID, photo and signature ready. In Thulasi, enter the exact branch and university. Read the branch line - "Electrical and Electronics" and "Electronics and Communication" are often not interchangeable, and some posts want "Civil" only. Apply only through the official links shown on each listing.
