💡 Expert Tip

This recruitment has a two-step mandatory submission process that trips most applicants: Step 1 — Submit through the SAMARTH portal (https://iiestsrec.samarth.edu.in) by 12 June 2026 (11:55 PM). Step 2 — Compile a SINGLE PDF of your printed application + all supporting documents (arranged as per Annexure-4 order) and submit it through the Google Form (https://forms.gle/Mw6tKmTjTrP3Q3oW6) by 19 June 2026 (11:55 PM). Missing either step = automatic rejection with no intimation. Also critical: your OBC (NCL) certificate MUST be issued on or after 01 April 2026 — an older certificate, however valid it was before, will be rejected outright. If you are applying from a Government/PSU job, carry NOC from your employer to the interview — not submitting it at that stage means disqualification even after selection.
