Recruitment & Examination FAQs — Negd advisor Recruitment
Shortlisting is based on a composite score of academic qualifications, total years of relevant IT experience, and specific exposure to large-scale digital transformation or e-governance projects.
Since the selection process relies on direct presentation and interview stages rather than multi-shift written examinations, score normalization is not applicable for this recruitment.
No official service bond is mandated, but selected candidates are expected to serve a minimum tenure of three years, subject to annual performance reviews.
The selected candidate will undergo a probation period of one year, during which their performance, leadership capabilities, and conduct are closely evaluated before confirmation.
The presentation topics focus on the Digital India framework, national e-governance division strategies, cloud infrastructure, data privacy laws, and agile project management methodologies.
The primary posting location is the NeGD Headquarters in New Delhi. However, the role may require occasional travel to various state capitals for project monitoring.
