SNGPL follows 'OG' payscale for executives with grades from 1 to 10. Engineers are recruited into grade 2 while non-engineers are rectuited to grade 1. In case of experience of around 3 years or so or if the candidate is earning substantially higher amount from previous employers, engineers may be given grade 3 and non-engineers may be given grade 2. However, this is not hard and fast rule. The gross pay of grade 1 is around 32k, grade 2 around 38k and grade 3 around 45k. However, some people may be offered a higher basic pay while keeping them in the same scale if they are earning a higher pay from previous employer. A person I know, for example, is not an engineer and is in grade 2 but he is getting a package of around 48k. To sum it up, if you are fresh or have less experience, you will go into grade 2 if you are an engineer and grade 1 if you are not an engineer.
