Selection Process

NGEL may use a multi-stage process that can include application screening, a Computer-Based Test (CBT), group discussion, and/or interview. The organisation reserves the right to raise eligibility standards if needed.

If a CBT is conducted, it will be bilingual and consist of 100 multiple-choice questions to be answered in two hours. Section 1 is a Subject Knowledge Test (70 marks) specific to the discipline, and Section 2 is an Aptitude Test (30 marks) covering numerical ability, reading comprehension, reasoning, general awareness, and data interpretation. There is negative marking of one-fourth of the marks for every wrong answer. Tentative CBT centres include Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Gandhinagar/Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhopal, and Raipur. Shortlisted candidates proceed to interview.

In the CBT route, marks are distributed as Subject Knowledge Test (70), Aptitude Test (30), Experience (10), and Interview (20), for a total of 100. Minimum qualifying marks differ for unreserved and reserved categories.

If no CBT is held, shortlisting will be based on age, qualification, and experience, followed by an interview. In that case, Experience carries 30 marks and Interview 70 marks. Experience scoring awards 5 marks for meeting the minimum requirement and 1 additional mark for each extra year, up to a maximum of 10 marks.

Final selection is based on relative ranking in the cumulative merit list. Appointment is subject to medical fitness determined by a designated government hospital; no relaxation in medical standards is permitted.
