New Delhi: The image of the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has been unwittingly hurt by the recent protests by students against the Indian Railways.

In a violence spiral, railway job aspirants also set fire to the Bhabhua-Patna InterCity Express at Gaya junction, alleging irregularities in the exams conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB).

The exams conducted by the RRB against which job aspirants are protesting, by the way, are known as Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC).

That has created problems for the NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation). It has urged the RRB to rename its exams so that people don’t associate it with the thermal power corporation.

“The media has been using the abbreviated form of NTPC, which gives the impression that the exams are linked to India’s largest power producer,” it stated in a letter to the railways.

“Therefore, we would request you to change the name of these exams, so that no confusion is created in future,” it further stated.
