The short engagement notice identifies Graduate in Engineering and Diploma in Engineering apprenticeship categories in the advertised disciplines.

WBPDCL also operates in West Bengal and Jharkhand, but the short notice does not specify a guaranteed station, district or site for each discipline. The monthly stipend amount is not provided in the short notice, so candidates should rely on the detailed WBPDCL advertisement instead of assuming the rate from an earlier cycle.
