About This Recruitment
NTPC Limited has notified recruitment for 135 posts under Advt. No. 10/26. Applications are accepted online from 12 Aug 2026 to 26 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A full-time BE or B.Tech in Electrical, Mechanical or Control & Instrumentation with at least 60% marks, and ten years' executive experience in the power sector. The vacancies are spread across 3 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Shortlisting, Written or computer-based test and Personal interview, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹70,000 – ₹2,00,000 a month in the E-4 grade (IDA). The place of posting is Any NTPC station, project, joint venture or subsidiary.
The application fee is ₹500, non-refundable for General, EWS and OBC, and no fee is payable by SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and all women candidates. 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.
