For Personal Use by Applicants Preparing for Assistant Registration Officer II – NIDA interview at Public Service Recruitment Service.

ALL QUESTIONS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER.

QUESTION 1

During applicant registration at NIDA, why is it important to assist applicants correctly when filling application forms?

A. To reduce the number of applicants processed daily
B. To ensure applicants understand NIDA policies
C. To minimize errors that may affect identity verification
D. To speed up biometric equipment performance

Answer: C

Rationale:
Accurate assistance in filling application forms is critical because incorrect or incomplete information can lead to identity mismatches during biometric capture and verification. NIDA relies on precise personal data to uniquely identify individuals, and errors at the form-filling stage may compromise the integrity of the National Identification System, leading to future difficulties in service access or data correction.

QUESTION 2

Which action best supports verification of applicant information before data entry?

A. Comparing form entries with original supporting documents
B. Entering data immediately to save time
C. Asking the applicant to explain their information verbally
D. Sorting completed forms alphabetically

Answer: A

Rationale:
Verification requires cross-checking information provided on the application form against original documents such as birth certificates or passports. This process ensures accuracy, authenticity, and consistency of records before data entry, reducing the risk of entering false or inconsistent information into the NIDA system.

---

QUESTION 3

In biometric data capture, which factor most affects the quality of fingerprints collected?

A. Speed of data entry
B. Cleanliness and positioning of fingers
C. Number of applicants waiting
D. Type of registration report used

Answer: B

Rationale:
Biometric systems rely on clear fingerprint patterns for accurate identification. Dirty, wet, or improperly positioned fingers reduce image quality, increasing rejection rates and system errors. Ensuring correct finger placement and cleanliness is therefore essential for reliable biometric capture.

---

QUESTION 4

Why should a Registration Assistant ensure all mandatory fields are completed before submitting an application?

A. To meet daily registration targets
B. To avoid supervisor reprimand
C. To simplify sorting of forms
D. To prevent system rejection during data processing

Answer: D

Rationale:
Most NIDA registration systems are designed to reject incomplete records automatically. Missing mandatory fields can halt processing, require re-registration, or delay issuance of National IDs. Ensuring completeness prevents workflow interruptions and improves operational efficiency.

---

QUESTION 5

Which document handling practice best protects applicant confidentiality?

A. Leaving forms on the registration desk
B. Allowing applicants to review other forms
C. Sharing information verbally with colleagues
D. Storing forms securely when not in use

Answer: D

Rationale:
Secure storage of application forms prevents unauthorized access to sensitive personal and biometric information. Confidentiality is a core principle in public service and data protection, and failure to safeguard records may lead to data breaches and loss of public trust.

---

QUESTION 6

What is the main purpose of preparing registration and biometric reports?

A. To evaluate staff performance
B. To document registration activities and outcomes
C. To advertise NIDA services

Registration and biometric reports provide an official record of activities conducted, including number of applicants registered, biometric data captured, and any challenges encountered. These reports support accountability, planning, auditing, and decision-making within NIDA.

---

QUESTION 7

Which computer skill is most essential for accurate data entry at NIDA?

A. Graphic design
B. Internet browsing
C. Keyboard accuracy and attention to detail
D. Software installation

Answer: C

A. Proceed with registration to avoid conflict
B. Ignore the alteration if details match
C. Correct the document personally

B. Continue registration without biometrics
C. Report the issue and follow contingency procedures

A. It reduces typing time
B. It improves report appearance
C. It ensures system compatibility and data accuracy

A. Completing forms without consultation
B. Guiding applicants on how to fill forms correctly

Why must biometric data be captured only once per applicant?

A. To save storage space
B. To reduce staff workload
C. To prevent duplicate identity records
D. To increase registration speed

Answer: C
