The National Recruitment Agency (NRA) is established to conduct a Common Eligibility Test (CET) for shortlisting candidates for vacancies under ‘Group B’ (non-gazetted) and ‘Group C’ (non-technical) posts in central government ministries/departments, public sector banks, and railways. Statement A accurately describes this primary function.

The NRA aims to streamline the recruitment process for millions of job aspirants by replacing multiple preliminary exams with a single test (CET).

The Union Cabinet approved the setting up of the NRA in August 2020. It is a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, making it a statutory body, not a constitutional one. While NRA’s database might be useful for state governments and private sector recruiters, facilitating employment in the private sector is not its direct mandate or function.
