Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not submit more than one application under the same notification — one form covers all posts in it.
- A BC Non-Creamy Layer or EWS certificate issued before 01.04.2026 is not valid, and you will be treated as OC.
- Your date of birth is taken only from the SSC certificate; affidavits and birth extracts are not accepted.
- The online form does not check your age, so confirm your eligibility yourself before paying the fee.
- Spike shoes are not allowed in the PET, and there is no re-test once an event is conducted.
