Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use a friend’s or agent’s mobile number or email address — only your own or your father’s / mother’s is allowed, and neither can be changed after verification for the entire session.
- Do not stop at “Final Submit” — an application without successful payment of the Rs. 2,250/- counselling fee by 08.09.2026 (11.59 P.M.) is rejected, and there is no refund once paid.
- If you hold a PG degree in more than one subject, do not file a single application — a separate department-wise application is required for each subject, and this must be mentioned in the online form.
- Do not apply for a subject in which you have already completed a three-year Senior Resident / Tutor tenure — you are not eligible for a repeat tenure in that same subject.
- Reserved-category candidates must attach a caste certificate along with a non-creamy-layer certificate; without it the application is treated as Unreserved.
- Do not wait for the last day — the Board is not responsible for internet or banking interruptions, and only candidates who paid successfully on time get the 09.09.2026 editing window.
