📝 10 Common Mistakes to Avoid While Filling Govt Job Forms
1️⃣ Uploading Wrong Size Photo or Signature
✅ Always check dimensions (e.g., 3.5cm x 4.5cm) and size limits (usually under 100KB). Use our free resizer tool to make it perfect.
2️⃣ Incorrect Name, DOB, or Parent Name
✅ Double-check all personal details with your certificates before submitting. Even a small spelling error can disqualify you.
3️⃣ Wrong Category or Sub-Category Selected
✅ Choose your caste/category correctly. If you're EWS or OBC (Non-Creamy), ensure your certificate is valid and recent.
4️⃣ Choosing the Wrong Post or Department
✅ Read the notification carefully. Don’t rush — select the post you're eligible for and actually want.
5️⃣ Applying Multiple Times Without Instructions
✅ Most forms allow only ONE application. Don’t apply again unless instructed to correct a mistake.
6️⃣ Leaving Mandatory Fields Blank
✅ Check for red stars (*) next to fields. Don’t skip sections like address, identification number, or academic scores.
7️⃣ Providing Incomplete Educational Details
✅ Mention all required qualifications — especially if the form requires year-wise or subject-wise breakdown.
8️⃣ Paying the Fee Twice or Not at All
✅ Confirm payment through the official confirmation page and keep the receipt safe.
9️⃣ Forgetting to Final Submit After Preview
✅ Just saving the draft isn’t enough. Click "Final Submit" — without this, your application won’t be considered.
🔟 Ignoring Official Instructions & Dates
✅ Read the full official notification. Deadlines, format rules, and eligibility vary between exams.
📌 Final Tips
- Use a laptop or desktop — avoid mobile browsers for final submission.
- Take a printout or screenshot after final submission.
- Save all documents in one folder: photo, sign, certificates, ID, etc.
💡 Pro Tip: If you made a mistake after submission, check the notification. Some forms allow corrections during a “correction window.”
