Apprenticeships at NTPC
Technician Apprentice - Instrumentation
at NTPC
Work with NTPC instrumentation teams on process control systems, SCADA, PLCs, distributed control systems (DCS), and plant monitoring equipment at thermal and solar power stations. The role covers calibration of pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters, troubleshooting of control loops, and maintenance of safety interlock systems that protect equipment and personnel. Apprentices learn to use industry-standard instrumentation tools, work with HART communicators, and gain exposure to control system platforms from vendors like Yokogawa, ABB, and Siemens. Power plant instrumentation is a specialised skill set with steady demand at PSU and private power utilities, refineries, chemical plants, and increasingly at renewable energy facilities being commissioned across India.
Trade Apprentice - Power Plant Operations
at NTPC
Train at NTPC thermal power stations learning boiler operation, turbine maintenance, condenser systems, and the integrated processes of large-scale power generation. The role provides hands-on experience at facilities like Vindhyachal, Singrauli, Korba, Rihand, or Dadri, which together generate a significant share of India's electricity. Apprentices learn standard operating procedures for plant start-up and shutdown, monitor critical parameters through SCADA systems, perform routine and preventive maintenance, and gain exposure to safety protocols essential for high-pressure steam and high-voltage environments. NTPC apprenticeships are considered prestigious in the Indian power sector and successful apprentices often gain advantage in NTPC's recruitment cycles for engineering officer positions through GATE.
