Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting more than one application, or applying for more than one trade/location — all such multiple applications will be summarily rejected.
- Applying without first completing your NAPS or NATS registration — the BEML portal requires a valid enrolment number from that portal.
- Uploading a mark sheet that shows semester-wise marks instead of the final/consolidated percentage — BEML calculates eligibility on the final result only.
- Holding a qualification earned through part-time, correspondence, distance, or online mode — such candidates are not eligible.
- Using a bank account that isn’t Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled, or where the name/date of birth doesn’t exactly match your Matriculation certificate and Aadhaar.
- Submitting an incomplete application, or one without proper supporting documents — these are rejected without any intimation.
