National Recruitment Agency (NRA)

The Union Cabinet has given its approval for creation of National Recruitment Agency (NRA).
It aims to bring reform in the recruitment process for central government jobs.
National Recruitment Agency (NRA) will be a multi-agency body that would conduct a Common Eligibility Test (CET).
CET will screen/shortlist candidates for the Group B and C (non-technical) posts.
NRA will have representatives of Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Finance/Department of Financial Services, the SSC, and RRB & IBPS.
NRA shall conduct a separate CET each for the three levels of graduate, higher secondary (12th pass) and the matriculate (10th pass) candidates for those non-technical posts.
