Exams To Be Replaced By
The CET
As discussed earlier, the NRA will replace the Staff Selection
Commission, Railways Recruitment Board & other such Govt exam conducting
bodies for the conduction of preliminary test or the screening/shortlisting
test only. The final appointment or the selection will be carried out through a
domain-specific exam to be conducted by respective agencies (i.e.
SSC/RRB/IBPS). The CET will replace the examinations from agencies:
A. Staff Selection
Commission
The SSC conducts various crucial examinations for students hailing
from different educational backgrounds like class 10th, class 12th, and
graduate level. These various examinations like Combined Higher Secondary
Level, Combined Graduate Level, Central Police Organization Exam,etc. are
conducted across various stages like Tier 1, Tier 2, and so on. The first tier
for all of these exams have a somewhat similar exam pattern or syllabus. The
CET will replace all these tier 1 exams.
B. Railways Recruitment
Board
Indian Railways is one of the largest employers in the country
when it comes to Govt jobs. The RRB too conducts various examinations like
NTPC, Group D, etc. across various CBTs i.e. Computer Based Tests. The Common
Eligibility Test will replace the CBT 1 stage for all the exams.
C. Institute of Banking
Personnel Selection Board
The IBPS conducts examinations for the recruitment of various
banking posts like Clerk, Bank PO, Bank SO, etc. For all such examinations, the
IBPS arranges a preliminary exam. The CET will replace all these preliminary
examinations for all such banking posts. The further stages of selection i.e.
mains, interview, etc. will be conducted by IBPS only.
D. Graduate &
Undergraduate Level Jobs
The CET will be applicable not just for Central Govt job exams but
also by recruitments conducted by various State Governments and Union
Territories. The State/UT Governments also need candidates belonging to every
educational background like graduate, 10th pass, and 12th pass. The respective
exam conducting body can directly conduct the advanced selection stage once the
CET has been cleared by the applicant. The press release regarding the same was
released recently:
