Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not upload blurred or faded scans — incomplete applications and applications with unclear document proof are summarily rejected without any further communication.
- Do not assume one application covers multiple posts — you must submit a separate application and pay a separate fee for each position you apply for.
- Do not pay the fee before checking your eligibility, because the application fee is non-refundable even if your candidature is later rejected.
- Do not count apprenticeship, vocational training, ad-hoc training or teaching experience towards the required post-qualification experience — only GET/ET/MT induction training periods may be counted.
- Do not skip the NOC if you are already employed in a Government department, PSU or Autonomous Body, as it is required up to the interview stage.
- Do not apply offline or by post — only online applications submitted on www.seci.co.in within the window are accepted.
