Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not submit an incomplete application — the notification states clearly that incomplete applications are liable to be rejected.
- Do not post the application at the last moment; it must physically reach the Ministry by 5:30 PM on 28.09.2026, not merely be dispatched by that date.
- Serving government employees must not send the application directly — it has to travel through proper channel with the Head of Department countersignature, and a separate advance copy should reach the Ministry before the due date.
- Do not skip the supporting certificates — missing ACR/APAR dossiers for the last five years, the integrity certificate or the penalty statement can cost you the application.
- Do not overlook the resignation condition — if selected, you must resign or seek retirement from any existing employment, including government service, before joining.
- Do not leave the experience column vague — state the field of expertise and the exact number of years, since the 15-year requirement is the core eligibility test for this post.
