The National Career Service (NCS) is the government’s free job portal and career platform — verified vacancies, job fairs, career counselling and skill-course links in one place. Unlike private portals, registration is free, there are no premium tiers, and government-sector openings and local job fairs appear here first.

Frequently asked questions
Are NCS jobs genuine?
Employers are verified before posting, and no legitimate NCS employer charges candidates. Report any payment demand through the portal grievance option.
Does NCS include government vacancies?
Yes — many state and central openings, plus apprenticeships and private-sector roles, are aggregated with links to official application pages.
Is my old employment-exchange registration valid?
State employment exchanges are being integrated with NCS — re-registering online takes minutes and keeps your seniority where states map it.
