We know there might be some confusion regarding the application process, how to apply and what should be the preference order and all. So to help you all with the application process, we have made few videos for you. You can watch it here below or on our youtube channel.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE –
All candidates need to put their name in the application as in SSC Certificate. Normally in SSC certificate the name is written as follows SURNAME – YOUR NAME – FATHER’S NAME, i.e. if your name is Rahul Prakash Joshi, in the SSC Certificate it must be written as JOSHI RAHUL PRAKASH.
So please confirm it on your SSC certificate. In case you have changed your name officially, then you can put your changed name, but you should have gazzette certificate for the changed name. Which you have to carry while going for the exam.
