Confirm the exact district list from the notification text before treating a border district as local.

A candidate is generally treated as local after four consecutive academic years of study (or residence) in the local area ending with the year of first appearance at the relevant qualifying examination, as defined in the notification. Seven-year Telangana study/residence rules apply for state-level local status. Other-state candidates may apply but do not get Telangana reservation.

Who Is Eligible? – Education, Age & Domicile

1. Nationality, local status & basic requirements

Applicants must be citizens of India with character and antecedents suitable for Board service. Local reservation covers 95% of notified posts. Non-locals compete mainly in the 6 unreserved seats.

What Is the Manager (Engineering) Salary in Telangana?

HMWSSB Managers (Engineering) are placed in the Telangana scale ₹54,220–₹1,33,630. The notification does not print DA, HRA or an in-hand figure. The slip below is an indicative estimate for a Hyderabad / GHMC posting, using the notified basic and typical state allowance practice. Actual pay follows HMWSSB / Government of Telangana orders on joining.

Simplified Monthly Salary Slip (Indicative In-Hand)

ComponentApproximate amount
Basic pay (entry)₹54,220
Dearness Allowance (illustrative; use current Telangana DA order)₹10,800–₹16,300
HRA (higher slab in Hyderabad / GHMC)₹10,800–₹16,300
Other allowances (as admissible)Variable
Gross (indicative)₹76,000–₹90,000
NPS / statutory deductions (if applicable) + professional tax₹6,000–₹8,500
Indicative in-hand₹68,000–₹82,000 per month

₹68,000–₹82,000/month is an illustrative take-home on a basic salary of ₹54,220 plus DA and Hyderabad HRA, before individual tax. It is not an official HMWSSB figure. Verify from the appointment order.

Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator only as a rough cross-check. Telangana uses its own Revised Pay Scales; the official formula in Board rules prevails.

Additional benefits

The notification does not list housing, canteen or transport as guaranteed perks. Medical fitness is a joining condition, not a benefit catalogue. New state recruits commonly fall under the National Pension System unless a later order says otherwise. Confirm pension, leave and increment rules from HMWSSB service regulations after selection.

What Is the Application Fee?

CategoryApplication processing feeExamination fee
OC and BC₹1,000₹120, where payable
SC, ST and PwD₹500₹120, where payable

Unemployed applicants are exempt from the ₹120 examination fee. Employees of the Central Government, State Government, PSUs, corporations and other government-sector organisations must pay the examination fee. The processing fee is compulsory for every applicant.

Pay online by net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI on the TGPSC application flow. Fees once paid are not refunded or adjusted. Non-payment means rejection.

How to Apply?

Applications are accepted only online on the TGPSC website. The application form for Notification 04/OG/HM/2026 opens on 23 September 2026 and closes at 5:00 PM on 17 October 2026.

Step 0 — One-Time Registration. If you do not already have a TGPSC OTR number, register on the TGPSC official website. Note the User ID sent to your mobile and email. OTR is not treated as an application for this post.

Step 1 — Open the live application. From 23 September 2026, log in with your OTR number on tgpsc.gov.in and select Notification No. 04/OG/HM/2026, Manager (Engineering), HMWSSB.

Step 2 — Check the OTR database. Only data sitting in OTR at the moment you submit this application will be used. Edits made in OTR after submission will not flow into this recruitment.

Step 3 — Fill the form and pay the fee. Choose the correct community, local status and engineering branch. Pay the processing fee and, if you are employed in government/PSU/corporation service, the ₹120 examination fee.

Step 4 — Upload photo and signature. Photograph: 100–200 KB, JPG/PNG, recent colour passport size. Signature: 20–30 KB, JPG/PNG. Use our Photo & Signature Resizer before you upload.

Step 5 — Submit and save the PDF. Download the final application PDF and keep it until the appointment. Hall tickets will be hosted on the same website from seven days before the exam.

Certificate templates used at verification are listed on the TGPSC certificate formats page.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Stopping after OTR. Completing One Time Registration without submitting this notification’s application means you have not applied.
  2. Updating OTR after clicking submit. Later corrections do not attach to this recruitment.
  3. Wrong local / community claim. Multi Zone II local status and SC Group I / II / III codes are checked at DV. A mismatch can drop a high written score.
  4. Assuming CSE/IT/ECE has the same vacancy weight as Civil. Only 5% of posts sit in that cluster.
  5. Employed candidates are skipping the ₹120 exam fee. Unemployed exemption does not cover government, PSU or corporation staff.
  6. Waiting for an interview call. No interview stage is mentioned. Rank comes from the written papers.

Suggested (not stated as a file-size rule in the notification): keep scanned certificates readable and well under typical portal limits so the form does not fail at the last hour.

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a chain, not a single score. Written marks create the merit list. Document verification and medical fitness decide who actually joins.

  1. Objective written examination (Computer Based Recruitment Test or OMR)
  2. Merit list by marks, branch share and reservation rules (normalised if held in more than one session)
  3. Certificate/document verification
  4. Medical examination
  5. Appointment by HMWSSB, subject to vacancies then available

No interview stage is mentioned in the current notification. Selection is based on written-exam merit plus document verification and medical fitness.

Securing minimum qualifying marks does not create a right to selection.

Exam pattern (as given in the scheme)

PaperSubjectQuestionsDurationMarksLanguage
Paper IGeneral Studies and General Abilities150150 minutes150English and Telugu
Paper IIConcerned Engineering subject (degree level)150150 minutes300English

Paper II streams: Civil; Mechanical; Electrical; Computer Science and Information Technology; Electronics and Communication. Sit the paper that matches your qualifying branch.

Minimum qualifying marks: OC, EWS and Sportspersons 40%; BC 35%; SC, ST and PwD 30%.

Negative marking is not mentioned in the current notification. Do not assume a penalty scheme until TGPSC publishes instructions with the hall ticket or scheme annexure.

If two candidates tie, the notification points to local status, older date of birth, then marks in the subject paper (further detail in Section 12.6 of the PDF). Answer-key objections can be filed online in the window TGPSC announces, at ₹500 per question, refunded if the objection is sustained. There is no revaluation. A memorandum of marks can be requested after results for ₹200 within 30 days (not for rejected or disqualified candidates).

Examination centres

Hyderabad, including HMDA jurisdiction, Nalgonda, Sangareddy and Mahaboobnagar. TGPSC may add, drop or re-allot centres. Change-of-centre requests are not accepted.

Use the Cut-off Marks Calculator only after official keys and category cut-offs are out. Previous HMWSSB Manager cycles are a poor substitute for this year’s key.

Why Does HMWSSB Hyderabad Matter?

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board supplies drinking water and runs sewerage for the Hyderabad metropolitan area. It is a Government of Telangana statutory Board, not a private utility and not a central PSU.

A Manager (Engineering) is a field-plus-office cadre post. Typical work includes project execution, network maintenance, treatment plants, pumping stations, sewer lines and contract supervision. Civil graduates will see more pipeline and plant work. Electrical and Mechanical graduates support pumping and electro-mechanical assets. CSE/IT/ECE graduates are a thin 5% slice, usually closer to automation and systems support.

Candidates search this role because it is a Hyderabad-centred engineering cadre with a state pay scale above many AE starting bands, and because TGPSC ranks carry weight across Telangana services. The honest limit: the Board’s work is operational and often site-heavy. Night failures, monsoon flooding and public complaints are part of the job, not optional project tours.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

This notification sits next to the 2026 TGPSC Assistant Executive Engineer drives in Roads & Buildings, which used the same ₹54,220–₹1,33,630 scale and the same 18–44 age band. Those AEE seats were larger in Civil. This HMWSSB Manager list is smaller, Board-specific and Multi Zone II–locked. Compared with a central PSU GATE trainee drive, there is no GATE score gate here. Compared with an IBPS engineering SO cycle, there is no bank interview grid. It is a two-paper TGPSC test and then verification.

Best fit: Civil engineers who already live or studied in Multi Zone II, can write Paper I in English/Telugu, and accept plant-and-network work inside the Hyderabad metropolitan system. Electrical and Mechanical graduates with the same local claim remain relevant for the 15% share.

Skip this if you need a large CSE/IT vacancy pool. Five per cent of 130 posts is a narrow door. Also skip if you will not serve outside a single preferred mandal. The Board can post you anywhere in Telangana even though the cadre is Multi Zone II. Other-state applicants who expect SC/ST/BC/EWS Telangana roster benefits should not rely on those columns.

Practical tip: Finish OTR and scan SADAREM, Form VIIB, study/residence certificates and the degree gazette before 23 September 2026. The application will read whatever sits in OTR on submission day. A late community or local correction will not ride along.

Realistic timeline from similar TGPSC engineering papers: written exam in the notified December window, results and DV across the following quarter, joining often six to nine months after the last date. Progression inside the Board is department-driven (Manager towards senior managerial engineering grades) and is not spelt out as a guaranteed year-wise ladder in this advertisement.

What Documents Are Required?

Keep originals and self-attested copies ready for verification. Formats are on the TGPSC certificate formats page.

  • Final application PDF and hall ticket
  • Photo identity proof
  • SSC / equivalent certificate for date of birth
  • B.E./B.Tech provisional / degree certificate and marks memos (result date on or before 18 September 2026)
  • Study or residence certificates from Class 1 to Class 7 for local status
  • Community certificate (SC Group I / II / III, ST, BC-A to BC-E as applicable)
  • Non-Creamy Layer certificate in Form VIIB for BC
  • EWS income certificate
  • SADAREM disability certificate where claimed
  • Unemployed declaration if claiming exam-fee exemption
  • NOC for serving employees (produce when asked at DV / joining)
  • Ex-servicemen / NCC / sports certificates if claimed

Document alert: SC Group I, II and III are separate rows on this roster. A generic “SC” certificate without the correct group can fail the claim. Sports and PwBD seats need the exact annexure format, not a club letter.

Service Conditions

This is direct recruitment to the HMWSSB Engineering Service on the notified scale. Posts are confined to Multi Zone II. Selected candidates must be willing to work anywhere in Telangana.

Vacancies can rise or fall on Board intimation. Additions may come before the exam. Deletions can run until final selection. There is no waiting list.

Appointment depends on medical fitness, sound health and satisfactory antecedents. Hostel, canteen or official quarters are not promised in the notification.

What Happens After Selection?

  1. TGPSC publishes the written-exam result and a category-wise, branch-aware merit list on tgpsc.gov.in.
  2. Shortlisted candidates upload or produce certificates at document verification on the dates in the web note.
  3. HMWSSB / the medical authority conducts the fitness examination. Unfit candidates are not appointed even with a high score.
  4. The Board issues appointment orders against the vacancies then available. A name on the merit list is not itself a posting order.
  5. You join the allotted unit, complete induction / departmental formalities, and start work on the ₹54,220 scale.
  6. Confirmation, probation length and promotion exams follow HMWSSB Engineering Service rules, not this advertisement.

FAQs – TGPSC Manager Engineering 2026

What is the last date to apply for TGPSC Manager Engineering 2026?

17 October 2026, 5:00 PM. The form opens on 23 September 2026. Late applications are not accepted online, and no extension has been announced as of 18 September 2026.

What is the age limit for TGPSC Manager Engineering?

18 to 44 years as on 01 July 2026 for the general category. SC, ST, BC and EWS get 5 extra years. PwBD candidates get 10. Ex-servicemen and NCC Instructors get 3 years plus their service length.

Is there an exam for TGPSC Manager Engineering, or is it interview-based?

Yes, there is a written exam. Two objective papers totalling 450 marks (Paper I 150, Paper II 300), in CBRT or OMR mode. No interview stage is mentioned. Document verification and medical fitness follow the merit list.

What is the salary of an HMWSSB Manager Engineering?

Pay scale ₹54,220–₹1,33,630. Indicative Hyderabad in-hand at entry is about ₹68,000–₹82,000 per month after DA, HRA and usual deductions. That range is an estimate, not a figure printed in the notification.

Can final-year students apply for this recruitment?

No. The engineering result must have been officially declared by the university on or before 18 September 2026. A result awaited after that date does not meet the cut-off written in the notification.

Is TGPSC Manager Engineering a permanent government job?

Yes, this is regular direct recruitment to the HMWSSB Engineering Service through TGPSC, not a project contract or apprenticeship. Pension and confirmation follow Board / State rules after joining. The advertisement does not print a bond amount.

Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?

Yes. Indian citizens may apply. Telangana local reservation covers 124 of 130 posts, so non-locals mainly contest the 6 unreserved seats and do not receive state roster benefits.

Where will I be posted if selected?

Cadre control is Multi Zone II, covering the Hyderabad metropolitan area and adjoining southern districts listed in the notification. HMWSSB can still post you anywhere in Telangana. You do not choose the first office.

Is Telangana domicile required for HMWSSB Manager posts?

Local status, not a separate “domicile certificate” label, drives 95% reservation. Four-year study or residence rules in the zone (or seven-year Telangana rules) decide local claim. Keep Class 1–7 study certificates ready.

Is there negative marking in the Manager Engineering exam?

Not mentioned in the current notification. Do not prepare based on a guessed penalty. Read the hall-ticket instructions and scheme annexure when TGPSC hosts them.

What are the disadvantages of an HMWSSB engineering posting?

Worth knowing before you apply: the work is operational water and sewerage, often on-site, and the first posting is not a candidate’s choice. CSE/IT/ECE seats are only a 5% share. Vacancies can also shrink before final selection.

How much do municipal water-board engineers earn in Telangana?

On this HMWSSB scale, basic starts at ₹54,220. Take-home in Hyderabad commonly lands in the high ₹60,000s to low ₹80,000s at entry once DA and HRA apply. Irrigation or R&B AEE posts in 2026 used the same printed scale.

Do state public service commission engineering posts include an interview?

It depends on the notification. This HMWSSB Manager cycle names only the written exam, verification and medical. Several recent TGPSC recruitments have also dropped interviews after G.O.Ms.No.47, dated 11 April 2022. Always read the scheme of that specific advertisement.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

  • You meet the age and educational criteria as on 01 July 2026, and your degree result was declared by 18 September 2026.
  • You are comfortable with regular HMWSSB field-and-office engineering work in Multi Zone II / anywhere in Telangana.
  • You can arrange OTR, local/study certificates, community papers and SADAREM/Form VIIB before document verification.
  • You are prepared for the written papers (450 marks), as the stage that actually ranks you.
  • You understand the posting pattern and will serve at the allotted HMWSSB unit.
