About This Recruitment
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has notified recruitment for 16 posts under FTA 01/2026. Applications are accepted online from 08 Aug 2026 to 22 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A full-time degree in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation or Computer Science with 60%, and a year of relevant experience.
Selection is made through Screening, Shortlisting on degree aggregate marks and Personal interview. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹84,000 a month in the first year and ₹88,000 in the second, on a two-year fixed tenure. The place of posting is BHEL Electronics Division, Bengaluru, with deployment across India and on naval vessels.
The application fee is ₹236 for General, OBC and EWS, and no fee is payable by SC, ST and PwBD. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
