The Union Minister further informed that the National Recruitment Agency for conducting Common Eligibility Test has been constituted with the approval of the Union Cabinet. NRA will conduct CET to screen/shortlist candidates for jobs in government sector for which recruitment is currently carried out through the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).

NRA will be a multi-agency body that will conduct the common test to screen candidates for Group-B and C (non-technical) posts. Every district in the country will have at least one exam centre which will help candidates living in remote areas. This will come as a huge benefit for women, Divyang and those who cannot afford to appear for multiple tests by travelling to multiple centres, the Minister added.
