Special Recruitment Drive for Backlog Posts

NTPC Limited, a premier Government of India-owned power generation company, has announced a special recruitment drive aimed at filling backlog vacancies reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates. The openings are specifically designated for the positions of Deputy Managers across multiple engineering disciplines.

Eligible candidates looking to advance their careers in the public sector must submit their applications through the official NTPC careers portal. The application window is active and will officially close on October 30, 2026, at 6:00 PM IST.

Authorities have strongly advised applicants to complete their submissions well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute technical hurdles, as no extensions or late applications will be entertained once the registration portal shuts down.
