Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying a second time. The Board says candidates who already applied under Advt. No. 07/2026 do not need to apply again.
  • Leaving the fee for later. The fee and the form both close on 27.10.2026.
  • Going to an exam centre on 18.10.2026. That exam is postponed.
  • Believing a new exam date from a social media post. The Board says it will announce the date in its own public notice on its website.
  • Skipping the original notification. This notice does not list eligibility or fee, so read Advt. No. 07/2026 before you apply.
