What Is the Selection Process for NTPC Deputy Manager Recruitment 2026?
The notification does not fix a set of stages. NTPC has reserved the right to raise the minimum eligibility standards or run a multi-stage process, if needed to limit the number of candidates.
| Possible Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application shortlisting | Based on qualification, years of experience and site experience |
| Written / computer based test | If NTPC decides to hold one |
| Personal interview | If NTPC decides to hold one |
Meeting the minimum eligibility does not give you a right to be shortlisted, called for a test or interviewed. Before joining, you must pass a medical examination by the NTPC Medical Board or Officer. Its decision is final, and no relaxation in health standards is allowed. Read the medical norms on the NTPC careers site before applying.
A practical tip: since shortlisting may rest on your experience papers, make your site experience easy to see. Highlight the 3 years in your service certificates, use NTPC’s prescribed sample format for the experience certificate, and add 2 pay slips for every year with each organisation.
