Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying for more than one post code on a single application — each post code needs its own form and its own fee, and the exam shifts for two post codes may clash on the same day.
- Assuming a higher qualification substitutes for the prescribed one — CONCOR states plainly that possessing a higher qualification without the minimum prescribed qualification does not make you eligible.
- Ignoring the dual-specialization rule — if your MBA or PG Diploma carries two specializations, one of them must be the function specific to the post code you are applying for.
- Overlooking the experience requirement on Assistant Officer posts — every AO post code requires prior experience, and only Ex-Servicemen are exempt from it.
- Choosing test cities carelessly — you pick three cities in order of preference and cannot change them once the form is submitted.
- Forgetting the negative marking — one-fourth of a mark is deducted for every wrong answer in the CBT, so blind guessing across five options costs you.
- Paying the fee before checking eligibility — the fee is non-refundable and is never adjusted against any future CONCOR recruitment.
