The decision to set up ‘National Recruitment Agency’ to conduct Common Eligibility Test is expected to benefit job- seeking youth of the country.
Union ministry approved the setting up of ‘National Recruitment Agency’ to conduct Common Eligibility Test, a decision that is expected to benefit job- seeking youth of the country. Union Minister Jitendra Singh said the merit list of the CET will remain valid for three years, during which time candidates can apply for jobs in different sectors depending upon their aptitude and preferences.
C Chandramouli, Secretary to the govt, said there are over 20 recruitment agencies in the central government, adding that while although exams of only three agencies are being made common as of now, in due course of time a Common Eligiblity Test for all recruitment agencies will be adopted.
Singh hailed the decision as a landmark reform in the history of independent India. He added that it will bring in ease of recruitment, selection, job placement and ease of living, particularly for certain sections of society that are at a disadvantage due to one or the other reason.
