Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t forget the offline step — this recruitment needs both an online application AND a hard copy with documents posted/delivered by 15.09.2026, 5:00 PM; online submission alone is not sufficient.
- Use a separate A4 envelope per post if applying for more than one speciality/post — combining them gets both applications rejected.
- Paste the auto-filled address slip (from the Candidate Dashboard) on the envelope — its absence can lead to cancellation of candidature.
- Meeting the minimum qualification does not guarantee an interview call — only candidates who clear the Screening Examination and its minimum efficiency standard (35%/40%) proceed.
- Double-check your speciality selection and category/qualification details before final submission — changes are not entertained after the correction deadline (08.09.2026).
- Working knowledge of Hindi is compulsory for all posts under this notification.
