Common mistakes that get forms rejected

• Applying on the other UT's notification — the 1,356 J&K posts and 41 Ladakh posts are separate notifications.
• Signature in capital letters, or a declaration that is typed instead of hand-written.
• Forgetting the live photograph — applying from a dark room or through someone else leads to a mismatch.
• Applying without a domicile certificate of the UT and getting rejected at verification.
