In-depth Analysis
Competition & Selection Odds
Over 1.21 crore aspirants applied for NTPC — as per data, for 11,558 total posts (graduate + undergrad), implying roughly 10,500 candidates per graduate vacancy—an unprecedented level of competition.
CBT-1 results are thus critical: with just 8,113 seats for graduates, even those scoring high may need to be among the top percentile in zone-wise rolls.
Delay Implications & Candidate Strategy
The delay in result declaration may compress preparatory time for CBT-2. Aspirants should use this buffer for targeted revision: focus on General Awareness, Mathematics, and Reasoning strengths — the sections determining shortlisting thresholds.
Probable Next Steps & Timeline
| Stage | Expected Timeline |
|---|---|
| CBT-1 Result Publication | Mid-September 2025 |
| CBT-2 Exam (Tentative) | October – early November 2025 |
| Document Verification & Medical | December 2025 – January 2026 |
Delays ripple candidate planning — aspirants must manage preparation + documentation readiness concurrently.
