The 2025 NTPC recruitment for 12th-level and graduate-level positions has already been announced. Recruitment for ALP, Technician, and Isolated Posts has also been announced. Now, the Group D recruitment is awaited. However, candidates are disappointed with this new 22,000 recruitments announced by the Railways.

Candidates are also campaigning to increase vacancies by tweeting continuously on the social media platform X. They have demanded an increase in vacancies to 100,000.
