Important tips before you apply
- Read the recruitment notification PDF end to end at least twice before you start filling the form — the eligibility cut-off date, document specifications and reservation clauses are easy to miss on a first read.
- Keep scanned documents ready at the prescribed dimensions and file size before starting the application; many candidates lose hours fixing rejected uploads.
- Cross-check your category claim with the issuing authority of your certificate — an old certificate may not satisfy the validity requirements of a Central Government recruitment cycle.
- Save your registration number and password securely; the same credentials are reused for admit card download and result lookup later.
- Start mock-test preparation early — IRCON examinations are time-bound and accuracy under pressure matters more than rote recall.
