Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending the application directly to the Chief Engineer instead of routing it through proper channel — such applications are not entertained.
- Forwarding the application without attested photocopies of ACRs/APARs for the last five years, which the circular says leads to outright rejection.
- Leaving out the Annexure-II certificate countersigned by the employer or cadre controlling authority.
- Not enclosing the certificates that support the qualification and experience claimed — the application is then never processed for eligibility.
- Assuming the vacancy is open to the general public; only serving employees holding an analogous post on a regular basis can apply on deputation.
- Applying and then having second thoughts — the circular states that candidates who apply on deputation basis will not be allowed to withdraw their candidature subsequently.
