NICL AO 2026: Important Dates

Candidates should monitor recruitment notices for any revision to the examination schedule and for call-letter instructions.

Generalist and Specialist Vacancies

Specialist positions cover Finance, Legal, Information Technology, Automobile Engineering, Risk Engineering, Company Secretary and Agriculture disciplines. Candidates can apply for only one discipline, making the eligibility check particularly important.

Before choosing a post, read the precise qualification wording. A related degree title does not automatically establish eligibility for a specialist vacancy. Check any required professional membership, specialization and minimum marks against your certificates.

Eligibility, Fees and Selection

The basic age range is 21–30 years as of October 1, 2026, with applicable relaxations governed by the advertisement. Generalist applicants require graduation or postgraduation with at least 60% marks; the threshold is 55% for SC, ST and PwBD candidates.

The application charge is ₹250 for SC, ST and PwBD applicants and ₹1,000 for other candidates. Selection involves preliminary and main examinations followed by an interview.
