Important dates

• Notice published: 2083 Kartik 20 (6 Nov 2026).
• Last date: the report we checked prints “2083/02/10”, which is before the notice date and looks like a misprint. NEA notices usually allow about three weeks, which points to 2083/08/10 (26 Nov 2026), with double fee to 2083/08/17. Please confirm the exact dates in the official PDF on nea.org.np before you apply.
• Exam dates will be announced later, in coordination with the Public Service Commission.

How to prepare

• NEA exams follow a written test, then an interview. For Level 5 posts, the first paper covers general knowledge, constitution, current affairs and mental ability. Practise with our free Lok Sewa quizzes and current affairs notes.
• Accountant applicants should revise government accounting: see Goshwara voucher, bank cash book and bank reconciliation and Budget and LMBIS.
• Technical posts also have a subject paper based on NEA’s published syllabus, available on the NEA website.

Application checklist

• Online or office application as the notice says, completed before the deadline
• Degree certificates and transcripts; equivalence for foreign degrees
• Professional registration where needed (for example Nepal Engineering Council for engineers)
• Experience letters for higher-level posts
• Citizenship certificate, photo and fee payment receipt

How the selection works

Public corporations and companies usually run their own exam: a written test (often objective plus subjective), sometimes a skill or computer test, and then an interview. Level 5 and assistant posts lean on general knowledge, the institution’s own Act and basic job skills; officer posts add technical subject papers.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Not reading the institution’s own syllabus, which differs from the Civil Service syllabus
• Forgetting professional council registration
• Leaving payment until the last day
