Candidates must secure passing marks in each section as determined by the company. Based on prelims performance, about 15 times the number of vacancies will be shortlisted state-wise and category-wise for the Main Examination. This recruitment drive aims to fill 500 Assistant vacancies. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The NICL Assistant exam is a key entry point for public sector insurance jobs. With 500 vacancies, competition will be intense given the typical volume of applicants for PSU clerical posts. Candidates should note that sectional cut-offs are applied, so weak performance in any one subject can disqualify even a strong overall score. The shortlisting ratio of roughly 15:1 for the mains is standard for such exams. Those shortlisted should prepare for the main examination pattern which usually includes descriptive and computer knowledge sections. The next concrete date is August 27, 2026, when the prelims are held. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Straight factual reporting of admit card release, exam date, and download steps without any evaluative language.
