NCS Portal: A Game Changer in Employment Services

The National Career Service (NCS) portal, operational since July 2015, has been a transformative platform in the employment landscape. Managed by the Ministry of Labour & Employment, it provides a wide range of services, including job search, career counselling, vocational guidance, and skill development resources. The portal serves millions of users, including job seekers, employers, and educational institutions.

This year, the NCS portal crossed the milestone of 2 million active vacancies on a single day, with on an average 15 -20 lakh job opportunities listed on the portal. The portal has already registered more than 1 crore vacancies during the current financial year. Currently, the platform has more than 35 lakh employers, making it a vital platform in bridging the gap between talent and opportunities.

Integrated with 30 States/UTs employment portals and several private job portals, the NCS portal continues to enrich its database and connect job seekers with the right roles. Its contribution to employment accessibility and career growth has made it a critical resource for India’s workforce.
