NTPC’s 2026 recruitment for ET/AE and engineering roles is expected to continue through written exam and interviews. Hiring may align with power, renewable energy, and expansion projects. Technical (engineering subjects) and aptitude remain the core; domain knowledge and interview matter.

The written exam pattern (technical + aptitude) is likely to stay similar. There may be greater emphasis on renewable energy and current initiatives. Preparation from 2025 remains relevant.

Prioritise technical subjects (branch-specific, power/renewable where relevant), aptitude (quant, reasoning), and general awareness. Use Preparation Guide and Interview Experience. Revise Coding Questions if your role includes programming.


Start preparing for 2026 now. Focus on technical subjects and aptitude for NTPC’s exam.
