"The National Recruitment Agency 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", tweeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the approval.

The NRA will be "a specialist body bringing the state of the art technology and best practices to the field of central government recruitment", stated the Indian government. Moreover, the agency will have representatives from the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), ministry of railways, Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), and ministry of finance/department of financial services.

"Candidates have to pay fees to multiple recruiting agencies and also have to travel long distances for appearing in various exams. These multiple recruitment examinations are a burden on the candidates, as also on the respective recruitment agencies, involving avoidable/repetitive expenditure, law and order/security related issues and venue related problems", cited an official statement released by the PMO.

Currently, candidates aspiring for government jobs have to apply for multiple recruitments separately and have to pay a high fee for each of them. Moreover, if a candidate clears the Prelims and fails in the Mains examination, he/she has to start again from the beginning next year. Now, with the NRA's Common Eligibility Test (CET), candidates who clear the preliminary level CET exam will be allowed to appear directly for the Mains, tier-2, or second level test of various exams. Furthermore, the CET scores will be valid for three threes. Which means, candidates who clear CET once, will be allowed to take the second level exam (Mains) thrice (once every year).

Currently, English and Hindi languages are major exam languages. The Indian government has passed Rs 1517.57 crores for the NRA, which will also be used for setting up exam infrastructure in 117 districts.
