Stage-I sections (notice of 20 August 2026)

• You can't go to the next section until the current one's time runs out, and you can't come back to review or change answers. The next section starts by itself. The Board says the number of sections can vary.
• 0.25 is deducted for each wrong answer.
• Minimum marks in each stage: 40 per cent for SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen, 50 per cent for others. The Selection Committee can also set minimums for parts of the paper.
• Five candidates per vacancy in each category go to Stage-II.
• Final merit is Stage-I plus Stage-II, out of 300. Ties go to the older candidate. The list is valid for one year or until the next selection, whichever comes first.

Reservation and PwBD

SC, ST, OBC and EWS reservation is vertical; PwBD and ex-servicemen horizontal. Three posts are for PwBD (two Junior Assistant, one Deputy Director), needing at least 40 per cent disability, and you must also state your SC, ST, OBC, EWS or UR category. Three Junior Assistant posts are for ex-servicemen, and one ST Junior Assistant post is a backlog vacancy. Both the Deputy Director and Junior Assistant posts are identified as suitable for all benchmark disability categories; for Junior Assistant this includes cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disability. PwBD candidates can have a scribe (arranged by you, qualified no higher than the exam minimum) or 20 minutes per hour extra.

You need good health, a fitness certificate on appointment, and a clean record. Anyone dismissed from government service is ineligible, and suppressed or false facts cancel the candidature at any stage, or end the job and invite prosecution if found later.

1. Stage-I computer test, 200 marks.
2. Five per vacancy in each category called to Stage-II, the 100-mark skill test. Its schedule goes up on the Vacancy Notice Board.
3. Final merit on the total of both. No interview for Group B and C.
4. Documents checked when the Board asks; a fitness certificate on appointment.

Both stages are compulsory. Miss any stage and you can be disqualified; there are no exemptions from the skill test.

NBEMS can change the number of posts, the exam process and the cut-off marks without giving reasons, and its decision on eligibility, centres and allotment is final.

The notice gives levels, not rupee figures. DA, Delhi-rate HRA and Transport Allowance are added; NPS and health scheme contributions are deducted. The job is at NBEMS headquarters, NAMS Building, Medical Enclave, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi 110029, with no cadre or state allocation.

The separate Executive Director post (deputation, 12 August 2026) is at Level-14, ₹1,44,200 to ₹2,18,200 plus NPA. It's a different recruitment.

Apply online through the Vacancy Notice Board on natboard.edu.in. The registration link went up on 7 July 2026.

Bank charges are extra. The fee must reach the bank by the last date or you're rejected, and it isn't refunded.

Apply separately for each post. If you send several applications for the same post, only the last correct one counts and the other fees are lost. Don't send certificates; bring them when called. Keep printouts of the Confirmation Page, application form and E-Admit Card, and at least five photos matching the uploaded one.

One employer: NBEMS, NAMS Building, Medical Enclave, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi 110029. The post and reservation split is in the overview.

Other NBEMS recruitments on the same Vacancy Notice Board are separate: the Executive Director on deputation (Level-14, three years extendable by two, needs a PG in medicine, surgery or public health and twenty years' experience), Group A and B posts on deputation (advertised February 2026, interview results August 2026), 30 Research Associates on contract by walk-in, and a Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for Senior Assistant, open only to staff.

Centres are allotted by the Board and given by website notice and email. Stage-II is on computers, with its own schedule announced later.

All of these are posted on the Vacancy Notice Board; the Board also emails candidates.

The E-Admit Card, exam date, time and centre come through notices on the Vacancy Notice Board and by email. Keep printouts of the Confirmation Page, application form and admit card, and five matching photos. Stage-II has its own call after Stage-I merit is drawn. The exam moved once already, so check the board before you travel.

Results appear only on the Vacancy Notice Board at natboard.edu.in, with next-stage information alongside. The Stage-I result will name those called to Stage-II; the final list follows the skill test. The notice provides no answer key challenge and doesn't mention re-evaluation.

NBEMS hasn't published cut-offs for this recruitment. The only fixed figures are the minimums: 40 per cent (80 of 200 in Stage-I, 40 of 100 in Stage-II) for SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen, and 50 per cent (100 and 50) for others. Above that, the bar is wherever five per vacancy runs out: about 195 for Junior Assistant, 35 for Stenographer, 20 for Junior Accountant, 10 for Deputy Director and 5 for Junior Programmer.

Results, and any marks the Board releases, will be on the Vacancy Notice Board.

• Practise in timed blocks. Do 50 questions in 45 minutes, stop, then start the next section without going back. Banking time from a strong section isn't possible.
• Give all four sections equal effort. Each is 50 marks, and a weak one can't be made up elsewhere.
• Prepare at the right level. 10+2 for Junior Assistant and Stenographer, graduate for Junior Accountant. Graduate-level material wastes time on difficulty that isn't there.
• Be accurate. At 0.25 off per wrong answer and about 54 seconds a question, accuracy beats coverage.
• Treat Stage-II as a third of your score. Practise real data entry and word processing on a computer, timed; Stenographers need 80 w.p.m. shorthand and 30 typing.
• Junior Programmer: technical questions are worth double and make up 160 of 200 marks. Focus on computer science.
• Watch the notice board. Dates moved twice this cycle.

No sample papers or previous year papers are available for this exam. NBEMS doesn't keep a past-paper archive for its own staff recruitment.

The closest guides are the Stage-I scheme of 20 August 2026, with the section timings, and the Junior Programmer scheme and syllabus, both on the Vacancy Notice Board.
