3. Understanding the Result (Beyond Pass/Fail)
What does qualifying Phase II actually mean?
Clearing Phase II indicates that:
- Your professional knowledge + descriptive writing met NIACL’s internal benchmark.
- You are now among a much smaller, serious talent pool competing for final selection.
This does not guarantee appointment yet. Final merit will be based on:
- Phase II marks
- Interview performance
- Category-wise and post-wise merit ranking
If your roll number is in the result PDF:
You are provisionally shortlisted. Treat this as a transition phase, not a victory lap.
If your roll number is NOT there:
This does not invalidate your preparation. Many strong candidates miss final shortlists by narrow margins due to:
- Descriptive paper underperformance
- Specialist section weightage
- Higher-than-expected competition in a specific post

Phase II cut-offs generally rise when:

Descriptive English plays a silent but decisive role - many candidates underestimate it.
👉 For future aspirants, this result reinforces one lesson: Objective knowledge alone is not enough for insurance officer exams anymore.
