CDA starts recruitment process with collaboration of NUST

Islamabad : The Capital Development Authority (CDA) under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) has commenced merit-based and transparent recruitment process for various departments of the civic body.

The CDA Chairman on Saturday paid a surprise visit to the computer-based examination centre at NUST and thoroughly reviewed the examination arrangements. CDA Member Admin, Member Estate, DG Human Resource Development, DG Resources and other relevant officers accompanied during the visit.

The test for recruitment process will continue until May 19.

The agreement with NUST marks a significant step in this direction where candidates eligibility and recruitment are being assessed via a computerized testing system which will also eliminate the culture of reference and prioritize merit and competence, the CDA Chairman said.
