PGCIL Diploma Trainee DT Exam Date 2026

PGCIL Diploma Trainee DT Exam Date 2026 — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 11 May 2026 and a fee of ₹300 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 20 April 2026 and close on 11 May 2026, giving candidates 22 days to complete the process. The 22-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. The exam is currently shown for 01/07/2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 27 years. On qualifications, the notification states: Engineering Diploma in  Electrical/ Electrical (Power)/ Electrical and Electronics/ Power Systems Engineering/ Power Engineering (Electrical). General/ OBC (NCL)/ EWS : 70% Minimum Marks SC/ST/PwBD : Pass Only More Eligibility Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / Exs and SC / ST / Exs are exempt from the application fee under this notification. Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹200 and ₹300, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
