Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • NO EDIT WINDOW POST SUBMISSION: The online recruitment portal does not permit any modifications to date of birth, educational marks, caste reservation, or age concession after submission. Ensure all entered information matches official certificates precisely before pressing submit.
  • MANDATORY SSLC MARKSHEET PDF UPLOAD: Candidates must upload an authentic, clear PDF scan of their SSLC or equivalent marks card to substantiate qualification and date of birth. Applications submitted without this PDF will be rejected immediately.
  • STRICT PHOTO & SIGNATURE RULES: The photograph must be recent with a plain white background (max 50 KB, JPEG) without signatures across the image. The signature must be executed in black ballpoint pen on plain white paper (max 26 KB, JPEG).
