PFRDA releases Grade A admit card for 15 October exam
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has released the admit card for the Grade A Assistant Manager exam, which will be held on 15 October. Candidates can download hall tickets from pfrda.org.in using their registration number and password or date of birth. The Phase 1 exam will be held in two shifts, with the first shift reporting at 7:30 AM and the second at 11:30 AM.
The recruitment drive aims to fill 30 posts across General, Research, Actuary and Official Language streams. Phase 1 consists of two papers: a 90-question general aptitude paper worth 100 marks over 60 minutes, and a 50-question stream-specific paper worth 100 marks over 40 minutes. Candidates who applied for two streams will take both Paper 2s consecutively without a break, for a total exam duration of 140 minutes. Phase 2 is scheduled for 20 November, and final results are yet to be announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
For the 30 vacancies advertised, over 65,000 applications were received, making the Phase 1 cut-off intensely competitive. The admit card release on 8 October gave candidates only a week to finalise travel and logistics. A key unresolved detail is the exact Phase 2 syllabus: the current notice only confirms the 20 November date, leaving candidates guessing at the subject weightings until the information handout is issued. Those who cleared both streams in their application will face a gruelling 140-minute continuous Paper 2 session, a structural hurdle that the notice itself flags but does not elaborate on. The final interview and result dates remain open, keeping the entire recruitment timeline uncertain past November.
