Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

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

  • Mandatory 1-Year Experience: Both posts strictly require minimum one year of verifiable field experience; applications without supporting experience certificates will be rejected.
  • Short Application Window: The offline application must be received at the Dean's office in Thiruvallur by 28-09-2026; applicants should account for postal delivery transit time.
  • Self-Request Letter Format: There is no pre-printed OMR application form; candidates must draft their own comprehensive self-request letter with all required contact information and self-attested documents.
