Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Do not lose your Registration Number and Password after registering; without them you cannot log back in or proceed with the application.
- Do not use a shared or work e-mail ID — you need a valid personal e-mail ID and mobile number that stays active until the recruitment project is completed, since interview call letters are sent there.
- Do not spell your name or your father’s / husband’s name differently from your certificates and mark sheets — any change or alteration found may disqualify your candidature.
- Do not submit without attaching every required enclosure — e-applications with incorrect or incomplete particulars, or without the certificate copies, are liable to be rejected.
- Do not attempt canvassing in any form — the notification states that canvassing in any form will be a disqualification.
