Consider the following in respect of 'National Career Services':1.National Career Service is an initiative of the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India.2.National Career Service has been launched in a Mission Mode to improve the employment opportunities to uneducated youth of the country.Which of the above statements is/are correct?

1. A

   1 only

   Option (a) is 1 only. National Career Service is an initiative of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, not the Department of Personnel and Training. DoPT handles personnel of the civil services. Statement 1 is false, so this option is not the key.

2. B

   2 only

   Option (b) is 2 only. NCS is a mission-mode employment platform for job-seekers and employers generally, not a scheme confined to uneducated youth. Statement 2 is therefore false. This option is not the key.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (c) is both. Both the nodal-ministry claim and the uneducated-youth claim fail. This option is therefore wrong.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither statement is correct: NCS sits with Labour and Employment, and it serves a wide job-seeker pool including skilled and educated candidates through a national portal and career centres. That is why (d) is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Neither 1 nor 2. National Career Service is the Labour Ministry’s national employment portal and career-service mission. DoPT is the wrong parent department. The programme is not limited to uneducated youth. Both statements miss the institutional and target facts. Only (d) follows.
