Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying
- Uploading documents in the wrong formats is one of the most common rejection reasons. Ensure photographs are in JPG/JPEG at 165×125 pixels, signatures at 80×125 pixels, and all supporting documents in PDF format.
- Assuming M.Com qualifies for the Finance Officer post, the notification explicitly states M.Com alone is not accepted; an MBA/MMS/PGDM with Finance specialisation is mandatory alongside a graduation degree.
- Failing to convert the CGPA to a percentage before submission causes frequent rejections. Contact your university for the official conversion formula and attach a copy at the interview.
- OBC candidates whose most recent Non-Creamy Layer certificate was issued before 1 April 2025 will not be accepted. The notification specifically requires a certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025.
- Counting internship, articleship, or training periods as work experience is not permitted. Only post-qualification executive experience counts toward the required experience threshold.
- Name mismatches between the application and photo identity proof result in disqualification from the Skill Test or Interview. Use your name exactly as it appears on your Matriculation certificate.
- Government-employed candidates must carry a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their present employer at the time of interview, or their candidature will be rejected.
