What is the Employment Exchange?
The Employment Exchange is a government department that maintains a database of job seekers. Registering here was traditionally a way to get notified about government vacancies. Today, for many state-level jobs, having a valid registration is a mandatory eligibility criterion. Your registration number is the unique ID that proves you are registered with your district's Employment Exchange office.
Step-by-Step Guide to Find Your Registration Number
The easiest way to find your number is through the National Career Service (NCS) portal, where all employment exchange data is now managed. Your registration number is typically your User ID on this portal.
Step 1: Visit the Official NCS Portal
Open your web browser and go to the official website: https://www.ncs.gov.in
Step 2: Go to the Login Section On the homepage, click on the "Login" button. This will take you to the sign-in page.
Step 3: Click on "Forgot Password" Even though you haven't forgotten your password, this is the key to finding your User ID. Click on the "Forgot Password?" link.
Step 4: Choose Your Retrieval Method The system will ask you how you want to retrieve your details. Select the option to get your Username/Password via "OTP on Registered Mobile Number / Email".
Step 5: Enter Your Details Enter the mobile number or email ID that you provided when you first registered at the Employment Exchange. Fill in the security captcha code and click "Submit."
Step 6: Verify with OTP You will receive an OTP (One Time Password) on your registered mobile number or email. Enter this OTP on the website to verify your identity.
Step 7: Receive Your User ID Once the OTP is successfully verified, the system will send your User ID (which is your Employment Exchange Registration Number) and a link to reset your password to your registered mobile number and email. You have now successfully found your number!
What If This Method Doesn't Work?
If you don't have access to your old mobile number or email, the online method won't work. Here are your options:
Check Old Documents: Look through your old files or printed application forms. You might have written the number down or used it in a previous job application.
Visit the Employment Exchange Office: This is the most reliable solution. Go to your district's Employment Exchange (Rojgar Karyalaya) office in person. Carry your original ID proofs like your Aadhaar card and educational certificates. The officials there can search their records and provide you with your registration details.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is the NCS ID the same as my old Employment Exchange number? Yes, for almost all states that have migrated their data to the central NCS portal, your new ID on the NCS website is your official Employment Exchange registration number.
2. Can I find my registration number using my name and date of birth? No, for privacy and security reasons, you cannot retrieve your registration number using only your name and date of birth through the online portal.
3. What if my registration has expired? Employment Exchange registration is typically valid for three years, after which it needs to be renewed. If it has expired, you may need to register again. You can also do this through the NCS portal.
