NTP is a protocol, like TCP or UDP. One program that uses NTP is ntpd,
which Debian packages in the confusingly named package ntp.

To answer your question, probably not. I'm not even sure you can run
ntpd and systemd-timesyncd on the same computer. I have ntpd on two
computers here, both available as local time servers on my network.
Everything else uses systemd-timesyncd and uses the two ntpd machines.
