Frequently asked questions
How does STA-A differ from the NIC Scientist-B post already in this dataset?
Scientist-B is a Group-A Gazetted post at Level 10, filled via a separate advertisement, while STA-A is a Group-B post at Level 6 — a distinct, comparatively entry-level technical cadre within the same GATE-based recruitment cycle.
Can a candidate with only a GATE-2023 score apply?
No, only GATE scores from 2024, 2025 or 2026 are valid for this recruitment; a 2023 or earlier score is not accepted.
