The detailed NRA CET syllabus and exam pattern will be released once the expert panel comes up with the recommendation. The officials posted in NRA include Chairman, Secretary-cum-Controller of Examinations, Director and Deputy Secretary, etc. NRA CET 2022 exam date and notification are expected to be released soon. Earlier, the exam was scheduled to begin from early 2022.
The National Recruitment Agency (NRA) is all set to conduct Common Eligibility Test (CET) for various non-gazetted posts in Central Government departments. The setting up of NRA was announced in 2020-21 budget. Through NRA CET candidates will be screened/shortlisted for certain categories of posts in Central Government for which the recruitment is carried out through Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS). On the basis of CET scores, candidates will be considered for the further rounds of selection. The final selection will be done through separate exams, to be conducted by the respective recruitment agencies.
NRA CET will be held twice a year and the score will be valid for three years. Candidates can give Common Eligibility Test every year to improve their scores. Based on the score, candidates can apply for various Banking, SSC and Railway recruitments. NRA CET will replace prelims/tier 1 exam conducted by recruitment bodies such as SSC, IBPS and RRBs.
There will be atleast one NRA CET exam centre in each district of the country. There will be two centres in ladakh district also. With one single screening test, it will reduce the burden of candidates for applying and appearing in various prelims/tier 1 exam.
