NJFP application process: step-by-step

The programme recruitment process follows a structured five-step process.

Online Application:

Candidates begin by completing an online form on the NJFP 2.0 portal. The system automatically evaluates each submission against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Qualified applicants move forward, while those who do not meet the requirements receive a notification.

Computer-Based Test (CBT):

Eligible candidates take an aptitude test assessing cognitive and analytical skills. A minimum score of 70% is required to advance. Candidates who fall below this benchmark are notified of their ineligibility.

Video Submission:

Applicants then upload a 60-second video introducing themselves. This personal pitch is evaluated for clarity, confidence, and communication skills. Successful candidates proceed to the psychometric testing phase.

Psychometric Assessment:

Candidates complete a psychometric test to provide baseline data on personality traits and behavioural tendencies. This step is mandatory and determines qualification for inclusion in the NJFP talent pool.
