What Is the Selection Process for NeGD Recruitment 2026?
The notification names two stages.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Screening | Applications are screened on qualifications, age and relevant experience |
| Interview | Only shortlisted candidates are invited for the interview |
This means that meeting the minimum is not a guarantee of an interview call. NeGD can fix a higher threshold of qualification and experience for screening and for limiting the number of candidates called for interview. It can also choose not to select any candidate, without giving a reason. The interview date is not printed in the advertisement.
