Common application mistakes to avoid
- Choosing the wrong unit: confirm the advertised location and category for your chosen post before submitting.
- Counting experience incorrectly: some posts require a specified number of years after a qualification or experience in a particular setting. Match your records to the exact wording.
- Assuming every reserved-category applicant gets age relaxation: check whether the post has a seat for your category and the applicable rules.
- Leaving the form until the deadline: complete it early; high traffic can affect access to a recruitment portal.
- Using inactive contact details or an incorrect PAN: verify both, as they are important to registration and recruitment communication.
- Arriving without originals or employer permission: eligibility documents and permission may be checked at the selection stage.

Match your qualification, work history, age and category to the exact vacancy and unit, then submit the online form before 28 October 2026 at 5:30 PM.
