RRB NTPC (the railway exam) and NTPC Limited (the power company) are unrelated — check which one your search relates to.
"NTPC" has two distinct, commonly confused meanings depending on context.
In the railway recruitment context, RRB NTPC refers to the Railway Recruitment Board's Non-Technical Popular Categories exam — a recruitment drive for posts like Junior Clerk, Accounts Clerk, Traffic Assistant and Station Master, open to graduates and 12th-pass candidates depending on the post.
Separately, NTPC Limited is India's largest power generation company, a Maharatna central public sector undertaking. It was originally incorporated as the National Thermal Power Corporation, though the company has since diversified beyond thermal power and today operates under the name "NTPC Limited" without an expanded form in official use.
