The NCS emphasized that the exercise is mandatory for shortlisted candidates, warning that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe could affect their eligibility for final selection.
“In continuation of the selection process leading to the final stage of the 2025 Recruitment Exercise, candidates who were successful in the previous phases are required to visit the NCS Recruitment Portal to complete a designated form,” the statement read.
It added that the portal will remain open until 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

To further assist candidates, the NCS provided dedicated help desk contacts and official social media platforms for inquiries and verification.
It urged all shortlisted applicants to complete the update within the deadline to avoid disqualification from the final stages of the recruitment process.
