Phase III: Interview

Candidates who will be shortlisted in Phase – II (mains examination) of the NICL AO selection process will subsequently be called for an Interview which will be conducted by the Company. The interview will be conducted at select centres. The centre, address of the venue, time & date of Interview will be informed to the shortlisted candidates in the call letter.

Some important Points:

  • Each candidate will be required to obtain a minimum score for each section of Objective test separately for shortlisting for the Descriptive Test evaluation/Interview i.e. Descriptive answer script would be evaluated only in respect of those candidates who qualify the objective test. There will also be a separate cut-off mark for the Descriptive Test.
  • Each candidate will be required to obtain a minimum total score (to be decided by the Company according to the number of vacancies) in the objective test(Main Examination) and qualify in the Descriptive test for short listing for the Interview.
  • A candidate shall be required to qualify in the Descriptive Test, but the marks in the descriptive test will not be counted towards shortlisting for the interview or final selection.
  • Penalty for Wrong Answers (Applicable to both – Preliminary and Main Examination)
  • There will be a penalty for wrong answers marked in the Objective Tests. Each question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate, one-fourth of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty to arrive at corrected score. If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is marked by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question.

Note: Before joining as probationer, the selected candidates will be required to give the undertaking to serve the Company for a minimum period of four years including probation period.

Final Selection:

The combined final score of candidates shall be arrived at on the basis of scores obtained by the candidates in the online main examination (Objective and Descriptive Section) and interview. The weightage (ratio) of online Main Examination and Interview will be 80:20 respectively. Scores of the candidates failing to secure minimum qualifying scores or otherwise barred from the interview or further process may not be disclosed. A candidate should be sufficiently high in the merit to be shortlisted for the subsequent recruitment process, details of which will be made available subsequently on Company’s website.
