Centre Streamlines Jobs Recruitment Process With Common Eligibility Test | Read

A chunk of recruitment for Central government jobs, including banking and railways, will now have a "Common Eligibility Test" online as a first step that is expected to help disadvantageous sections, rural candidates and women. In what's billed as a "landmark reform", the Union cabinet also approved the creation of the National Recruitment Agency, a multi-agency body, to streamline the recruitment process for a chunk of non-technical jobs. Prime Minster Narendra Modi tweeted the NRA "will prove to be a boon for crores of youngsters". "Through the Common Eligibility Test, it will eliminate multiple tests and save precious time as well as resources. This will also be a big boost to transparency," his tweet read.
