Does NTPC conduct its own written exam for Executive Trainee?

No. Unlike BHEL (which runs its own separate written exam), NTPC relies entirely on the GATE score for the specified year -- there is no NTPC-specific written test.

Can I use an old GATE score for NTPC recruitment?

No, NTPC does not accept old GATE scores -- only the specific GATE year explicitly named in each recruitment notification (e.g. a 2026 drive may specifically require GATE 2025, not GATE 2024 or earlier).
