The 2026 notification was released on 2 June 2026, with applications from 29 June to 20 July 2026 and the written exam tentatively on 5–6 September 2026.
100 marks, 75 minutes — Data Entry, Word Processing, Computer Operation
The CBT covers Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English. Minimum qualifying is 40% (SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen) and 50% (others). About 5 candidates per vacancy (per category) are called for Stage II based on CBT merit.
The Computer Skill Test
For Junior Assistant, the Stage-II skill test (100 marks, 75 minutes) focuses on Data Entry, Word Processing and Computer Operation. A comfortable typing speed and solid MS Office basics are what let you complete the tasks in time.
Note: NBEMS also recruits Stenographers in the same drive, whose skill test requires Shorthand 80 WPM and Typewriting 30 WPM — useful to know if you're choosing between posts.
How to prepare
Build typing to 35+ WPM so data-entry and word-processing tasks don't run out of time.
Practise MS Word formatting and basic computer operation hands-on.
Clear the CBT comfortably — only ~5x vacancies reach the skill test.
