When NTPC Announces Recruitment
NTPC runs the Engineering Executive Trainee round through GATE most years, and advertises experienced and fixed-term posts throughout the year.
What NTPC Applicants Often Miss
- Only the GATE year stated in the notice counts, and older or later scores are rejected.
- Trainees sign a service agreement bond, payable if they leave during the bond period.
- Many fixed-term NTPC posts are for a set number of years, so read the tenure clause before applying.
Preparing for NTPC Recruitment
For engineering trainee posts, a strong GATE score is often the key to the shortlist, followed by a group discussion and interview where your core subjects and final-year project are discussed. Read about the company's business and recent projects before the interview.
