Selection Process

Selection is based on marks in a Written Test and/or Skill Test. If a very large number of applications are received, NFSU may first hold a Screening Test to shortlist candidates for the Written Test — so treat every stage as important. No travel allowance (TA/DA) is paid for attending any of these tests.

Preparation Tips for NFSU Written Exam

• Check the official NFSU website (nfsu.ac.in) regularly — the detailed syllabus and exam pattern will be published there before the exam date is announced
• Focus on General English and Hindi, as language proficiency is a stated requirement for all three posts
• Brush up on computer fundamentals — all posts require computer proficiency, and this is likely to feature in the exam
• Practice General Awareness and current affairs from at least the last 6 months, as these are standard in government administrative exams
• A Screening Test may be held before the Written Test — prepare from day one rather than waiting for shortlisting
• Take 5-10 full-length mock tests before the exam to improve speed and accuracy
