NTPC runs Deputy Manager hiring almost every year to backfill its executive cadre with engineers who already have hands-on power-plant experience, and the pattern shifts a little each cycle. The last comparable drive, in May 2025 under Advertisement No. 10/25, covered the same three disciplines but for 150 posts; a separate October 2025 round added Civil to the mix for a smaller batch tied to nuclear-adjacent projects. This 2026 cycle drops Civil again and sticks to the core Electrical, Mechanical and C&I split, with the vacancy count trimmed to 135.
Vacancy Breakup by Discipline
| Discipline | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Deputy Manager (Mechanical) | 55 |
| Deputy Manager (Electrical) | 40 |
| Deputy Manager (C&I) | 40 |
| Total | 135 |
Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
A full-time B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Mechanical, or Control & Instrumentation / Instrumentation / Electronics (or an equivalent discipline recognised for the respective post) from a recognised university or institution.
Experience
Candidates need substantial post-qualification executive experience in the relevant engineering discipline, gained in a power plant, EPC contractor or comparable heavy-industry environment. NTPC has varied the exact number of years required across recent Deputy Manager cycles — anywhere from around six to ten years depending on the advertisement — so treat this notification as a senior, experienced-hire opportunity rather than a fixed benchmark, and confirm the precise experience slab against your discipline in the detailed notification before applying.
Age Limit
The upper age limit is 40 years. Age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-servicemen candidates will apply as per Government of India rules; check the detailed advertisement for category-wise relaxation figures.
Pay Scale and Benefits
Selected candidates are placed in the E4 grade on the IDA pay scale of ₹70,000 – ₹2,00,000 per month, in addition to Dearness Allowance, HRA or company accommodation, and other perquisites admissible to NTPC executives as per company rules.
Application Fee
General, OBC and EWS candidates are required to pay a non-refundable fee of ₹500. Candidates from SC, ST and PwBD categories are typically exempted from the fee under NTPC’s standard recruitment policy, but this should be confirmed against the fee clause printed in the detailed advertisement once it is published.
