Nepal Telecom Vacancy 2026: 80 Permanent Posts, Apply by 19 November

Nepal Telecom vacancy 2026 has opened 80 permanent posts for Nepali citizens, under Notice No. 06/2083-84 published in the Gorkhapatra on 30 October 2026. The posts run from Level 3 (Junior Technician) to Level 9 (Deputy Manager, Chartered Accountancy), across 14 advertisements. You apply online only, through recruit.ntc.net.np, and the last date with the regular fee is 19 November 2026 (Mangsir 3, 2083); a double fee buys you until 26 November. The fee runs from Rs 300 to Rs 800 by level, and selection is a written exam run by the Public Service Commission (Lok Sewa Aayog), followed by an interview.

The 80 posts, advertisement by advertisement

All 80 posts sit inside 14 advertisements, numbered 40 to 53 of 2083-84. The numbers add up exactly: 80 in total, 43 open and 37 inclusive.

The 37 inclusive seats break down as 14 for women, 8 for Adivasi and Janajati, 10 for Madhesi, 1 for Dalit, 1 for persons with disabilities and 3 for backward areas. The biggest opening is Assistant at Level 4, with 17 seats, followed by Junior Technician at Level 3 with 12. Two of the four senior posts have no open seat: Senior Engineer (Madhesi) and Senior Business Officer (women).

What it offers

These are permanent posts in Nepal Telecom, the government-owned telecommunications company, filled through open and inclusive competitive examination. The post is yours once you are selected and appointed; it is not a one-year training place. At the bottom end, a Class 10 pass can aim for Junior Technician at Level 3, and an SEE pass can aim for Assistant at Level 4. In the middle, graduates can aim for the Level 6 and Level 7 officer posts. At the top end, the Level 8 and Level 9 posts need a master degree plus five years of officer-level service, although a candidate with a doctoral degree needs two years less. The written exam is run by the Public Service Commission, the same body that runs the civil service examinations.

Who can apply

Only Nepali citizens can apply. The age limit is counted on Mangsir 3, 2083 (19 November 2026); the double-fee window does not extend it. Limits: 18 to 35 for Levels 3 to 5; 21 to 35 for Levels 6 and 7; 21 to 40 for Levels 8 and 9. Women and persons with disabilities: 40 for every post. Minimum qualifications, by level: Level 9 (Deputy Manager, CA): CA or CPA passed, Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN) registration, 5 years officer-level service. Level 8: master degree plus 5 years service; Senior Engineer also needs Nepal Engineering Council (NEC) registration. Level 7: bachelor degree in the relevant engineering subject, plus NEC registration. Level 6: bachelor degree, subject varies by post. Level 5 (Overseer): certificate or diploma in Civil, Architecture or Survey Engineering. Level 4 (Telecom Technician): SLC plus Telecom Training Center (TTC) training or National Skill Testing Board (NSTB) Level 2. Level 4 (Assistant): SEE GPA 2.0 or SLC, plus Public Service Commission (PSC) pre-qualification pass. Level 3 (Junior Technician): Class 10 plus TTC training or NSTB Level 1. Degrees must be recognised.

The fee

The exam fee depends on the level and is paid online after the form is submitted, through the payment option inside the portal. Officer posts at Levels 8 and 9 cost Rs 800, officer posts at Levels 6 and 7 cost Rs 700, the Overseer post at Level 5 and the Level 4 posts cost Rs 500, and the Level 3 post costs Rs 300. Each additional inclusive group adds Rs 200 for officer-level posts and Rs 100 for assistant-level posts; inclusive-only candidates pay the open fee once for the first group. The double-fee window (20 to 26 November 2026) doubles the fee.

How the selection works

Selection has a written exam and an interview. Candidates for the Level 4 Telecom Technician post and the Level 3 Junior Technician post also sit a practical exam. The Public Service Commission runs the written exam and will fix the date, time and centre for each advertisement, so those details follow the Commission schedule and are not in this notice. The notice also says these posts will be filled under the Supreme Court mandamus order of Magh 24, 2079 (writ No. 078-WO-660), once the legal arrangement it requires is made.

How to apply

Applications are accepted only through the online system, at www.ntc.net.np or recruit.ntc.net.np; forms without the required documents, or submitted without the fee, are not processed. First, open the recruitment portal, pick the advertisement number for your level, from 40 to 53 of 2083-84, and fill in the form. Second, upload the required documents: your Nepali citizenship certificate, a recent passport-size photograph and a specimen signature, certificates for the minimum educational qualification, and, where the post needs them, training, experience and council registration certificates, plus an equivalency certificate for any degree from a foreign institution. Assistant (Level 4) applicants must also upload the PSC pre-qualification pass certificate, and anyone applying through a reserved quota must upload the inclusive-group certificate. Third, submit the form, then pay the exam fee through the payment option inside the portal. Fourth, keep the submitted form and the payment receipt. For form problems, the helpline is 014210415, 014210473 and 014210416, and the email is recruit@ntc.net.np.

What the notification does not say

The notice does not state the pay scale or salary for any of the 14 posts, so this article gives no salary figure. The written exam date, time and centre are not announced, and neither is the interview date; the Public Service Commission will publish them later. Warning on the deadline: the regular-fee last date is 19 November 2026 (Mangsir 3, 2083) by the majority of sources and by the notice itself, which counts 21 days from publication on 30 October, but one page that recycles an older vacancy notice gives 20 November 2026 instead. This article uses 19 November; confirm the date on the notice itself before you apply. The portal address also needs care: one secondary source points to vacancy.ntc.net.np, but that address returned a 404 error when checked, while recruit.ntc.net.np is live and working.

Never pay anyone to apply for a job. No agent, middleman or social media account can get you a Nepal Telecom post for money, and anyone asking for payment outside the official online portal is running a scam. The only fee is the exam fee in the notice, Rs 300 to Rs 800 by level, plus the extra fee for additional inclusive groups, paid online only through the official portal. If someone offers you a seat, a leaked question paper or a guaranteed selection in exchange for money, refuse and report it to Nepal Telecom and the police.

Another deadline that is running at the same time is the RRB NTPC Undergraduate recruitment, which is also closing soon: RRB NTPC Undergraduate has 1,688 clerk posts open, with applications closing on 13 November 2026. If you are open to a training route instead of a permanent post, ONGC has opened 3,047 apprentice seats, a 12-month apprenticeship with a stipend of Rs 8,200 to Rs 12,300 and no exam, with applications closing on 20 November 2026.
