Frequently asked questions
Can I apply using my GATE 2025 or GATE 2024 score?
No. NTPC accepts only GATE 2026 examination scores for this recruitment cycle. Scores from previous years or subsequent GATE attempts will not be considered under any circumstances.
What is the service agreement bond requirement for selected trainees?
Candidates belonging to General, EWS, and OBC categories must execute a service bond of ₹5,00,000 to serve the company for at least 3 years after completing their one-year training. The bond amount is ₹2,50,000 for SC, ST, and PwBD candidates.
Are final-year engineering students eligible to submit the form?
Yes, students appearing in their final semester can register provided they satisfy the minimum aggregate percentage requirement of 65 percent marks (55 percent for SC, ST, and PwBD) once final results are announced, well before the document verification round.
Is there a separate written test or interview conducted by NTPC?
For this specific drive, selection relies entirely on the candidate's normalized GATE 2026 marks. NTPC does not conduct personal interviews or group discussions for Engineering Executive Trainee roles shortlisted through GATE.
Where will selected engineering trainees be posted across India?
Selected candidates can be posted to any NTPC thermal, gas, hydro, or solar plant, regional headquarters, or joint venture site across India. Initial allocations depend on operational staffing needs across different plant locations.
