No interview stage is guaranteed; the management decides the combination of written/CBT and/or interview.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take
This is a targeted OBC backlog drive for experienced engineers already working in power, steel, refinery or similar sectors. It differs from the larger open Deputy Manager drives NTPC runs (such as Advt. 10/26) because every seat here is reserved under the special OBC drive and the experience bar is fixed at 10 years with site exposure.
Best fit: OBC-NCL engineers with solid site erection or construction experience who want a regular Maharatna PSU cadre post at E4 level.
Who should skip: Candidates outside the OBC-NCL category, or those whose experience is purely office-based without the required 3 years of site work.

Practical tip: Prepare clear, dated experience letters that specifically mention the site erection/commissioning or civil construction period. Vague letters weaken the shortlisting case.
What Documents Are Required?
Class X certificate, degree certificate and consolidated marksheets, experience certificates covering the full 10 years (with site period clearly shown), OBC-NCL certificate, NOC (for serving Government/PSU candidates), and any other documents listed on the portal at the time of application. The exact upload list appears on the careers portal.
What Happens After Selection?
- Shortlisted candidates appear for the written/CBT and/or interview stage decided by management.
- Document verification of originals against the uploaded certificates.
- Medical examination as per NTPC standards.
- Offer of appointment in the regular cadre (E4 Grade) and posting at any NTPC station, project, JV or subsidiary.
- Probation and confirmation follow NTPC service rules applicable to the grade.
