NRA CET: CABINET APPROVE SETTING-UP OF NRA
The Union Cabinet has given its nod for the setup of a National Recruitment Agency (NRA) to streamline the hiring process by conducting a CET. The National Recruitment Agency (NRA) will be nodal agency to conduct CET every year. The CET will replace the prelims level tests conducted by the different agencies for the recruitment of non-gazetted posts.
Among a list of coveted jobs banking is an increasingly popular choice of employment for fresh graduates and experienced professionals in India. Banks provide attractive salaries, a measure of job security and many perks for their employees.
The Banking Services, Railway Services and Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for various Public/Central Government Undertakings are some of the most coveted jobs in the country.
An average of 2.5 to 3 crore students take up the competitive Exams of different nodal agencies. To state a few they are Railway Recruitment Board Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) exam for posts in Railways, SBI Probationary Officer’s exam for Probationary officer at SBI. Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for sub-ordinate services (Clerical) at SBI, The Indian Banking and Personnel Services (IBPS) for commercial and scheduled banks.

A National Recruitment Agency is a proposed agency by the Narendra Modi government. The government has decided to take a single computer-based preliminary examination for all the non-gazetted government posts. The agency is going to monitor all the activities of the Common Eligibility Test. Currently, candidates have to appear for a complex process of examination for all the exams. It is very time consuming and a long process.
