Understanding the Selection Framework

Getting selected for the Group B and Group C positions within NBEMS depends heavily on a multi-stage evaluation design, with an emphasis on performance parity across two specific stages.

• Stage I (Computer-Based Test): A rigorous, nationwide computer-based written test evaluating general intelligence, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English language mechanics, and general awareness. The tentative exam window is expected on September 5 and September 6, 2026.
• Stage II (Skill/Computer Knowledge Test): Candidates who meet the cut-off marks in Stage I will qualify for Stage II. This stage evaluates computer operations for Junior Assistants, accountancy aptitude for Accountants, and physical dictation transcribing for Stenographers.
• Final Merit Compilation: For Group B and C posts, no personal interviews will be conducted. The final selection merit list will be prepared transparently by blending the exact performance outcomes of both Stage I and Stage II examinations.

Candidates are highly advised to avoid waiting for the final day (July 31) to submit their forms to prevent losing out to server congestion. Keep monitoring the official NBEMS portal routinely for updates regarding the release of official admit cards and explicit testing center guidelines.
