Exam Pattern
- Stage 1 — Computer Based Test (CBT): Firstly, NALCO conducts a Computer Based Test covering trade-specific technical knowledge, general aptitude, reasoning, and English language components at a level appropriate to the applied post and grade. Notably, the CBT serves as the primary screening stage — consequently, candidates who score above the post-wise cutoff marks advance to the next stage.
- Stage 2 — Trade Test: Subsequently, shortlisted CBT-qualified candidates appear in a Trade Test that evaluates hands-on technical proficiency in their respective trade. Specifically, this stage verifies whether candidates can apply their ITI or degree-level knowledge practically in NALCO’s industrial and mining operations environment — making trade-level practical skills a critical differentiator at this stage.
- Stage 3 — Document Verification: Finally, NALCO-authorised officials verify all original certificates — specifically, Class 10th marksheet, ITI NCVT / NCVET certificate or B.Sc. degree, experience documents, caste certificate, and domicile records — before confirming the final appointment.
