1. Many people applied for the posts. Their applications were considered and they were rejected or selected for the written test based on their qualifications and work experiences.
2. People took the NTS written test on 23rd June. NAB set a passing criterion and called those who passed the preliminary phase for the next one;
3. The next phase, as we are all aware, was the psychological test. NAB used the psychological test to determine the suitability or non-suitability of the candidates as per the job description. Some candidates were rejected outright as NAB found their answers dishonest, fake, made up and inconsistent with each other. A certain group of people NAB found suitable for the job. Now this is the turning point in the entire procedure. The department isn't going to call every single person who cleared the psychological test. They want the best man out of the entire group. They are looking for the person who stands out from the rest. This is where the verification of documents began. The team is going through the documents of all the candidates. They are deciding whom to select or reject based on the academic records, work experiences and the marks of the preliminary test held by NAB. It's not just one thing but a combination of the three. At this point, I would also refer you to the conditions mentioned in the advertisement. I don't remember them by heart but what I can recall from memory are: firstly, position holders would be given due weight of their positions in last degree; secondly, people with higher qualifications would be preferred; thirdly, people with law degrees would be preferred; and lastly, those who cleared CSS but were not selected would be preferred. There could be a few conditions which I am missing but these are the ones which I remember. Anyway, NAB also made use of these conditions in order to determine whether a candidate should be called for interview or not. What is also relevant at this juncture is that the best out the group are being called for interview. As many have stated, if the best is unsuccessful in the interview, they are going to move onto the next best person in the group. The second best is being kept as a spare in case the first best fails.
4. Now the post-interview stage hasn't arrived yet but I feel that the procedure mentioned in my third point would be adopted by NAB for this stage as well.

This is how I see it. I could be wholly wrong, I could be wholly right or partly wrong and partly right about all of this but this is how I have perceived it to be. If we go by the above, then NAB has proceeded on a case to case basis. I would also like to say that maybe I have said all of the above because I am being overly optimistic or perhaps I am saying this because I have been called for the interview.

There is something else which I am leaving out for now as I have no means of confirming it. I am hoping that I shall be able to get this verified on Saturday after going through the list of candidates NAB has called for the interview, which I am hoping NAB would have pasted on its notice board. It has nothing to do with NAB, though! I don't have any influences in NAB either.
