Things to avoid while preparing for Lecturer Recruitment

• Do not rely on a single coaching prediction for the application window or the exam date — the only binding source is the official State PSCs / Education Departments notification on official portal of the State Public Service Commission / Technical Education Department.
• Do not assume that age relaxation, fee or syllabus weightage from a previous cycle automatically applies to the current cycle. Reservation clauses and fee structures are restated in every notification.
• Do not trust unofficial answer keys, leaked papers or social-media cut-off claims; the official answer key window is the only safe input for raw-score estimation.
• Do not delay document collection. Class 10, Class 12, graduation, category, EWS, PwBD and ID proofs in the prescribed format should be ready before the application window opens — a missing certificate at verification can lead to disqualification.
• Do not skip the official mock test on the State PSCs / Education Departments portal before the computer-based stage — familiarity with the testing interface saves crucial minutes on exam day.
