How to apply

1. Open nita.ac.in and go to the Recruitment tab. The report does not give a direct application-portal link.
2. Read the full notification PDF (No. F.NITA.2(519-Estt)/2019/Vol-III/4473) before filling the form.
3. Register as a new candidate to get a user ID and password.
4. Enter personal details and category, and choose the post code.
5. Upload a recent passport-size photograph. The report says it should be no older than 3 months and must also be carried to the exam venue.
6. Fill in qualification and experience details, and upload supporting documents as one PDF of up to 10 MB.
7. Pay the fee online, submit before the deadline, and keep the printout or e-receipt.

Enter your name and date of birth exactly as on your Class 10 certificate. The report says changes are not allowed after submission. To apply for more than one post, submit a separate application and fee for each.

Selection process and exam pattern

The report says selection is by CBT alone. It cites a DoPT memorandum of 29 December 2015 for the absence of an interview in Group B and C posts. The merit list is based on CBT marks, subject to any skill test where applicable. The paper is reported to be 100 marks in 60 minutes, and the pattern varies by post.

The report describes the general section as covering English, GK, current affairs, mental ability and numerical ability. Its text on the paper pattern is slightly inconsistent, because the prose describes a 20/80 split for all posts while its table gives the Technician and Lab Attendant papers a different structure. Check the official notice for the final scheme. The CBT schedule and venue are to be announced on the official website only.

What the report does not settle

• The official NIT Agartala notice was not available, so the vacancies, dates, fees and eligibility have not been checked against it.
• No CBT date, syllabus document or admit-card timeline was provided.
• The report's salary estimates add DA, HRA and TA at assumed rates. They are not reproduced here. Only the basic pay levels are listed above.
