Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing the two deadlines — registration closes on 24.09.2026, but the application and fee payment must be completed by 25.09.2026; registering late leaves no time to finish.
- Using someone else’s email ID or mobile number — the Registration Number, Password and every subsequent communication are sent only to the details entered at registration.
- Forgetting to change the password after the first login, which the Board makes mandatory before the remaining steps can be filled.
- Missing the correction window — mistakes can only be edited between 26.09.2026 and 28.09.2026, after which the submitted data is treated as final and the candidate alone is responsible for it.
- Waiting until the last day to pay — if the amount is debited but the payment fails and is not paid again in time, the application stays incomplete and the candidate loses eligibility.
- Assuming an equivalent or renamed degree will be accepted — only the exact qualification prescribed for the post is recognised.
- Posting the printed application form to the Board office, which is not required; it is needed only at document verification.
