NIC Exam Experience For Technical Assistant

The National Informatics Centre (NIC) Technical Assistant was conducted in December 2023. NIC gave exam-conducting responsibility to NIELIT, and NIELIT gave it to ApTech. The exam pattern is 35 per cent non-technical questions and 65 per cent technical questions. The total number of questions is 120. A minimum of 50 per cent marks are required for each part to qualify. The exam duration is 3 hours. There is no interview for this post. The exam was conducted in two shifts.

My NIC technical assistant exam experience

The candidate response key was released in January by Aptech. There is a dedicated telegram group for the preparation of the NIC exam, which has more than 3000 members. Some guys from this group created a website tool to calculate marks obtained by candidates in the NIC exam by just pasting your response key URL. First, when the answer key is released, there is no encryption in the URL, so you can view other candidates responses by just changing the roll number in the URL.

After a day, the admin of the tool website analyses the results and finds that my candidates from the same centre get higher marks, and some consecutive roll number candidates get the same marks even though all the wrong and correct questions are the same. After this analysis went viral in the group, many candidates sent email complaints to NIC and NIELIT regarding this.

After this, some random person joins the group and starts sending porn videos. Now telegram bans the group. Also, the URL, which is not encrypted, is now encrypted. NIC and NIELIT did not take our complaint seriously, and no response was received. Aptech is already banned in many states because they are engaging in malpractices in malpractices in the recruitment process and have been found guilty.
