- Keep a scanned photo ID proof ready (PAN Card / Voter ID / Driving Licence / Passport) in JPG/JPEG format, between 15 KB and 60 KB. If you enter an Aadhaar number as ID proof, no scanned ID is needed.
- Class X roll number: if it is alphanumeric, use only the numeric digits (e.g., 12CSC0204 becomes 120204). Do not prefix zeros – the system removes leading zeros automatically.
- Name, Gender and Father’s Name cannot be edited once registered, so enter them carefully.
- Create only one registration and submit only one application. Multiple registrations/applications will be rejected and the candidate may be debarred.
- Do not wait for the last date – heavy load near the closing date can cause login or payment problems.
- No change, correction or modification (including category) is allowed after final submission.
