Instead of applying to each individual branch of the government or different public sector banks, there will now be one single test to standardise the process. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="73889491" title="Government job applicants can save on time and fee with one common entrance test" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> "There are more than 20 recruitment agencies in the Central government. Right now, we are bringing 3 agencies under the National Recruitment Agency and will eventually bring all of them under it," said Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Secretary C. Chandramouli. <div type="twitter" handle="PIB_India" handlename="PIB India" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/974552536408444928/TVZG_9jP_normal.jpg" favoritecount="96" retweetcount="36" status="#NationalRecruitmentAgency will ensure transparency and ease in recruitment process, both for the candidate and the… https://t.co/nEX1XYBFZg" createdat="1597834402000" id="1296037537790586882"></div> Not only will the CET make the process more convenient for job seekers but it will also help the government cut down on costs and time normally taken to recruit. The central government may also share the CET merit list with states for state government jobs on a cost-sharing basis. The NRA will be a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and government will be doling out ₹1,517.57 crore to set it up. However, it estimates that it will be able to save around ₹600 crore per annum under the new system — breaking even in around three years. How will CET work? The CET serves as an entrance exam. It’s a first level test to shortlist candidates for a particular post. The scores of the test will remain valid for three years and can be used to apply for jobs across the government spectrum. Each person will have two additional chances to improve their scores, and only the best of all scores will be taken into final consideration. "There are 1.25 lakh vacancies every year in Group B and C for Railways, banks and SSC for which 2.5 crore to 3 crore people apply," said Chandramouli. What will CET achieve? According to the Indian government, the CET is aimed at solving problems for the candidates. From the varying schedules of different exams to their different application processes, the CET will simplify the entire ecosystem. By bringing all the exams under one umbrella, It will also address the infrastructure shortage that creates scope for malpractice, said Chandramouli. One exam will also mean just a one-time payment of exams fees instead of shelling out separate payments. Chandramouli pointed out that the CET will also enable job opportunities to reach rural areas for those candidates for whom travelling to testing centres, located mostly in urban centres, may not be possible or affordable. To remain accessible, the CET will also be available in multiple languages. For institutions, CET will standardise the process that could solve for the delay that occurs from time to time in the finalisation of results. The government asserts that the central test will shorten the overall cycle time of recruitment from the current 12 to 18 months.

Cabinet approves creation of ‘National Recruitment Agency’ — Government and PSU bank job seekers will now have to clear a single central test

<ul><li>The government job seekers will now be required to undergo a common online exam. The test scores will be valid upto three years. </li><li>Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has proposed to set up a test centre in every district to trim the recruitment process for jobs in the government departments and public banks. </li><li>The entrance test may also be viable for private jobs. </li></ul>Government job aspirants can breathe easy with one <keyword id="1121108" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="common-eligibility-test">common eligibility test</keyword> (CET) for recruitment to non-gazetted posts. This is if the National Recruitment Agency (NRA) proposed by the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday (February 1), goes through. Sitharaman proposed to set up a test centre in every district to trim the recruitment process in government departments and public sector banks. “This places enormous burden on time, effort and cost of young people,” she commented on the current process. As per her proposal, job seekers will now have to take a common online exam and the scores will be valid upto three years - and can be used for notifications across companies over the years. However, the applicant can give three attempts to improve the score. In this case, the best of three scores obtained shall be considered for recruitment. The scorecard will be available to both the candidates and the recruitment agency. The move will benefit over 250 million aspirants who struggle with courses and test formats for 125,000 job postings across departments. Applicants can save on the fee needed to appear for multiple entrances. The entrance test can also be used by private sector recruiters. “The CET score can also be utilised by the private sector for consideration of eligible candidates other than those selected by government recruitment agencies, through an arrangement with NRA,” the government noted. According to the budget announcements, the government is likely to create 262,000 jobs by March next year. Meanwhile, separate CETs will also be formulated for recruitment of graduates and matric level students applying for non-technical posts. As of now, these posts are filled via Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) exams. The government also plans to expand its 'Study in India' programme. In this regard, the government will introduce an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/budget/news/new-education-schemes-reforms-policies-in-budget-2020/articleshow/73836166.cms">INSAT exam to enroll Asian and African students</a> in Indian universities.
