Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not arrive at 2.30 PM — the notification says reporting time is 1.30 PM, and late reporting can cost you the interview.
- Do not turn up without the duly filled application in the prescribed format; a resume alone is not a substitute for the bio-data form.
- Do not carry only photocopies — originals plus one set of self-attested copies are both required.
- Do not count an MPH as experience — the notification explicitly excludes it, while MD/MS counts as only three years of experience.
- Do not assume you can join the Video Conferencing interview on the day itself — the VC link must be requested in advance by email with your biodata and educational documents.
- Do not apply if you are below 40 or above 70 years of age, as no age relaxation is offered in this notification.
