3. NTPC Main Recruitment (GATE 25): Second List Details and Document Verification

For the main NTPC recruitment through GATE 2025, the Second List has been released, inviting candidates for online document verification. Candidates whose roll numbers match those in the published list are shortlisted. This includes vacancies for CS/IT, Electrical, and other branches.

4. Factors Leading to Multiple NTPC Recruitment Through GATE Second List

Multiple lists (like the second or even a potential third list) are issued if the initial recruitment rounds do not fill all vacant positions. This often occurs because candidates shortlisted in the first round may:

• Secure positions in other Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) such as BARC, NPCIL, PGCIL.

• Opt for higher studies like M.Tech at institutions such as IISc.

NTPC may also release further lists or increase seat numbers if new projects are initiated or if employees retire during the ongoing recruitment process. This practice ensures all vacancies are filled.

Observation of Trends:

A large number of Electrical Engineering candidates were shortlisted in the second list, possibly due to a high preference for other PSUs like PGCIL (a Maharatna category PSU). Similarly, for Mechanical Engineering, many candidates might have joined BARC or NPCIL.

Possibility of a Third List:

NTPC Recruitment for GATE 2026:

There is uncertainty regarding NTPC recruitment through GATE 2026. Historically, NTPC would release a short notification for recruitment during the GATE application period, but no such notification has been released for GATE 2026. NTPC does not provide future recruitment plans in RTI queries. In contrast, PGCIL has already issued a short notification for GATE 2026 recruitment. Further updates will be shared if any information becomes available.
