Common mistakes that get forms rejected

• A photograph more than 3 months old — the notice caps its age explicitly
• Photo or signature outside their KB bands (100-200 KB and 80-150 KB)
• Submitting with the wrong category — after submission nothing, including category, can change
• Assuming a GATE score is needed — it is not; selection is by BEL's own CBT and interview
