Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not assume the extension changes anything else — the corrigendum revises only the closing date and the fee remittance date; the age cut-off of 01.08.2026, the 24-year experience requirement and all other conditions stay exactly as advertised.
- Do not wait until the last hour of 03.09.2026 — registration closes at 23:59 hrs sharp, and a failed payment near the cut-off can leave your application incomplete.
- Do not pay the fee a second time if your money was deducted but registration did not complete — GRSE verifies such cases on or before 05.09.2026, and the fee is non-refundable in any case.
- Do not submit more than one application for the same post; GRSE states that candidature is liable to be cancelled if you do.
- Do not apply with a qualification other than CA or CMA — courses claimed as equivalent will not be considered, and the candidature will be rejected at any stage if eligibility is not met.
- Do not rely on newspapers or third-party sites for further changes — GRSE states that any corrigendum or addendum will be published on the GRSE website only, with no communication in press or by any other mode.
