The modes of operation of an NPN transistor are as follow:

Emitter-base junction

Collector-Base junction

Mode

Reverse bias

Reverse bias

Cutoff

Reverse bias

Forward bias

Reverse active

Forward bias

Reverse bias

Active

Forward bias

Forward bias

Saturation

 

From the above table, we can conclude that for normal operation (active mode) of NPN transistor, emitter-base Junction must be forward biased and base-collector junction must be reverse biased.
