💡 Expert Tip

Both posts require exactly one single combined PDF for all educational qualification proofs and a separate single PDF for all experience certificates — uploading them as multiple separate files is a common reason applications get flagged during scrutiny. If your experience certificate mentions a pay scale other than Central Govt. Pay Scales or CDA pattern, you must mandatorily attach a Pay Equivalence Certificate, otherwise that experience won't be counted at all toward your eligibility. Since final selection depends on Presentation and Interview performance (with a possible Written/Computer Test), make sure your experience is clearly 'relevant' to the exact post applied for, since the Scrutiny Committee's relevancy decision is final and binding.
