As per the 2022-23 Annual Report by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions^[5], The estimated budget was 396 crore and the revised estimate was 0.01 crore. Finally, the total expenditure was 7.68 crore (up to December 2022) in the 2022-23 financial year was met by the unutilized funds in the financial year 2021-22.

What is the NRA CET exam?

NRA CET full form is National Recruitment Agency – Common Eligibility Test where Common Eligibility Test is an objective type of test for central government jobs in India and NRA is the short form of National Recruitment Agency which is a newly set up organization to conduct the CET exam.

Why National Recruitment Agency formed?

One of the most obvious questions that come to everyone’s mind that Why there is a need for one more government hiring agency if there are already many existing organizations managing central-level recruitment.

The main issue is that these existing organizations are not performing as per expectation and the current situation is getting worse. For example, SSC has not released the Combined Graduate Level 2018 exam result yet^[6] (Finally, the result has been announced on April 01, 2021^[7]).

It’s been two years and the Railway Recruitment Board has not completed the recruitment process for the RRB NTPC 2018 exam. This two-year-long recruitment process is unacceptable.

Other SSC examinations and results:

As per the annual report by the MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS, a total of 71,74,579 candidates registered for various SSC examinations. During the Financial Year 2021-22 (up to 31.12.2021), the Staff Selection Commission has recommended 25,115 candidates to various User Ministries / Departments. Please check out major examinations conducted by the Staff Selection and their result date^[8].

Sl. No.	Name of the Examination	Date of Declaration of Result	Candidates Selected
1	Combined Graduate Level Examination 2018	01.04.2021	11,103
2	Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police, CAPFs, and ASI in CISF Examination, 2018	20.04.2021	1,570
3	Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2018	30.09.2021	5,645
4	Junior Hindi Translator, Junior Translator and Senior Hindi Translator Examination, 2020	29.10.2021`	182
5	Constable (Executive) Male and Female in Delhi Police Examination, 2020	15.12.2021	5,690
6	Selection Posts (as of 31-12-2021)		925
	Total		25,115

It is clearly shown in the above table that SSC CGL 2018, CHSL 2018, and SI 2018 took almost 3 years to complete.

One more major problem is that candidates have to face the same situation again if he/she applies for any other exam such as exams conducted through Railway Recruitment.

The major task was to minimize the total time taken in the overall recruitment process for government jobs. The National Recruitment Agency is constituted after considering this long-duration process.

Now there is no need to attend multiple examinations for different departments in the central government. CET will replace the initial level shortlisting and it will drastically reduce the total time and overall cost.

Candidates will also get the benefit of a reduced time cycle the total recruitment takes for any exam. Generally, A total of 6 months is taken from the notification release date and application process to the Tier-1 exam.

These 6 months will be reduced to 1 month and will help in the announcement of the final result sooner than the current system.

Salient features of the NRA CET Exam

• There will be a common registration portal for all candidates and only one-time registration is required to submit the online application form to apply for the exam. All important notifications will be released through this registration portal.
• The Agency is planning to conduct the test twice a year which will be further scaled to multiple times a year as per the candidate’s preference.
• New Recruiting Agency will introduce three CET level exams and different level exams will be conducted for 10th pass, 12th Pass, and graduate pass candidates to facilitate recruitment to vacancies at various levels and at the same time maintain the difficulty level of the exam according to the candidate’s qualification.
• There is one more major change proposed to conduct the CET test in 12 major Indian languages including English and Hindi and later on increase the number of languages to make it easier to attempt by all people from different parts of the country.
• Initially, the CET test will cover the central government recruitment for three agencies that is Railway Recruitment Board, the Staff Selection Commission, and the Institute of Banking Personnel. More agencies will be included later.
• CET test will be held in 1,000 centers across India and there will be an examination center in every district of the country.  There will be a special thrust on creating examination infrastructure in the 117 aspirational districts.
• All shortlisted candidates will get a CET score which will be valid for three years. After the test candidates will have to apply for exams separately to SSC, IBPS, and RRBs for the higher-level tests such as Tier-2, Tier-3, Interview, Physical Test, etc.
• CET Score will be shared with the candidates as well as with the recruiting agencies.
• There shall be no restriction on the number of attempts to be taken by a candidate to appear in the CET test subject to the upper age limit. Age relaxation for SC/ST and OBC candidates as per existing rules will apply.

Update (24^th August 2020): The Indian government on 24^th August 2020 shared a video on @mygovindia’s Twitter handle about the CET recruitment process and how Women can easily apply for government jobs^[10].

Update (19^th August 2020): The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed happiness over setting up of National Recruitment Agency. The Prime Minister said on Twitter^[11], “The National Recruitment Agency will prove to be a boon for crores of youngsters. The Common Eligibility Test will eliminate multiple tests and save precious time as well as resources. This will also be a big boost to transparency.

Benefits of the Common Eligibility Test (CET)

The benefit to Candidates from Rural Areas:

Now candidates from rural areas can compete for many posts by just appearing in one examination. Till now candidates from rural could not afford to appear in multiple examinations due to financial constraints.

Now they can appear for a single Tier-1 exam which will be conducted by the newly set up recruiting agency.

CET Score will be valid for three years:

The CET score of the candidate shall be valid for three years from the date of declaration of the result. Candidates can appear for as many tests as they want and improve their scores.

There is no limit on the number of attempts. A higher CET score from multiple exams will be used for the further recruitment process. An example is given below.

CET exam	Score percentile in a different session	Percentile considered for Tier-2, Tier-3
March 2024	80	80
September 2024	85	85
March 2025	70	85
September 2025	90	90

Standardized Testing:

The agency shall conduct a separate test each for the three levels of 10th Pass, higher secondary (12th pass), and graduate pass candidates for the non-technical posts.

Currently, The recruitment for non-technical posts is carried out by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), and the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).

Candidates will be shortlisted based on the CET test score and the final selection for recruitment shall be made through separate specialized Tiers (II, III, Medical Exam, etc.) of examination which shall be conducted by the respective recruitment agencies.

A single Exam Pattern and Syllabus:

The syllabus and NRA CET exam pattern for the Common Eligibility Test would be the same. This will remove the extra burden of candidates who will have to prepare separately for different exams due to the difference in the Exam Pattern and Syllabus.

Exam Patterns and Syllabus would be different for different levels of the CET Test such as the 10th level, 12th level, and graduate level.

Scheduling Tests and choosing Centres:

Now there would be a single portal for registration and candidates can choose the exam center of their choice. Based on availability, they would be allotted Centres.

The government has planned to open exam centers in every district of the country. The ultimate aim is to reach a stage wherein candidates can schedule their tests at Centres of their choice.

CET Test Score access to multiple recruitment agencies:

Initially, the scores would be used by the three major recruitment agencies SSC, IBPS, and RRBs. After some time this score can be shared with other Central Governments, State governments, Union Territories, and public sector companies.

Further, Any recruitment agency can adopt recruitment through the CET score if they choose to do that. This would help such organizations in saving costs and time spent on recruitment.

Earlier, On 2^nd December 2019 Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Department of Personnel & Training) shared a proposal with the government and asked for their comments on the proposal to set up a specialized agency for government recruitment^[12].

The objectives of the proposal are as under:

• (a) To mitigate the hardship faced by candidates who have to appear for multiple examinations conducted by multiple agencies, where similar eligibility conditions have been prescribed.
• (b) To bring in savings to the candidates towards multiple application fees and travel costs to appear in these examinations.
• (c) To improve access to rural candidates by setting up at least one test center in every district.
• (d) To facilitate candidates to schedule tests and choose an examination center of their choice.
• (e) To reduce the time taken in the selection process.
• (f) To facilitate employment generation.

Madhya Pradesh became the first state will use the CET score.
