But what is the Common Eligibility Test? Let’s find out.

1. Conducted by the NRA, the Common Eligibility Test or CET will be an online Tier-1 examination that aims to eliminate the need for multiple examinations for recruitment in government and public sector jobs.

2. The CET will screen and shortlist candidates for non-gazetted or non-technical posts under Group B and C categories.

3. Candidates applying for these recruitments will no longer have to pay repetitive fees to multiple agencies.

4. The CET will replace the first-level entrance tests conducted by the Staff Selection Commission, Railway Recruitment Boards and the Institute of Banking Service Personnel.

5. The exam will be conducted twice a year, for different educational levels and in multiple Indian languages.

6. Every district across states will have atleast one CET exam centre to help disadvantageous sections, rural candidates and women.

7. CET scores will be valid up to three years from the date of result declaration.

8. Candidates get two additional chances to improve their scores. The best out of the three scores will be considered.

9. The NRA will also have a 24×7 helpline for queries and grievances, and will hold mock tests on regular intervals especially to help rural candidates.

10. Candidates will be able to apply for jobs in different sectors depending upon his aptitude and preferences based on the CET score.
