National Recruitment Agency (NRA) Common Eligibility Test : Eligibility Criteria, Age Limit

NRA CET 2020 : The Union Cabinet on Wednesday, approved setting up of National Recruitment Agency, an independent body to conduct examination for government jobs.

The setting up of such an agency to conduct a NRA common eligibility test (CET) was announced in the Union Budget by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in February.

Though the Centre envisages to use the CET score for all recruitments in the future, this will be implemented only in three sectors initially. The central government agencies — Railway Recruitment Board, Staff Selection Commission and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection — will be brought under National Recruitment Agency.

Age Criteria

There will be no restrictions on the number of attempts made by the candidates within the age limits. Like before, the SC/ST/PwD/OBC candidates will be provided with relaxation to the upper age limit.
