The 7 candidates from the Nepal Telecom company itself are Mr. Pradeep Upadhyaya, Mr. Gokarna Sitaula, Mr. Sanullah Khan, Mrs. Sangita Pahadi, Mr. Dilli Ram Adhikari, Dr. Bimal Acharya, and Mr. Chandra Mohan Jha. Out of those 7, 5 senior officials are Engineers whereas other 2 are DMDs (just below MD rank ). Mr. Pradeep Upadhyaya, Charter Accountant by profession is the Deputy Managing Director (DMD) in the company, currently working as a Chief Commercial Officer. Mr. Gokarna Sitaula, is also the Deputy Managing Director (DMD), working as Internal Audit head in the company. He had also applied for the open competition to Ntc MD position before. Mr. Sanullah Khan, Engineer by profession is working as Manager in Backbone Department.

Dr. Bimal Acharya, also an Engineer, works as Office in charge at Dhangadi Telecom office, with Deputy Manager post. Dr. Bimal has two doctorate degrees, one from Nepal and another from Canada.
