💡 Expert Tip

Since this is a Walk-in Interview, there are no second chances — come fully prepared on day one. Registration closes at 12:00 PM sharp; arriving after that means automatic rejection regardless of eligibility. Critically, you must bring a character certificate from a Gazetted Officer or Executive Officer — this is a mandatory document and absence will render you ineligible for the interview. Also bring multiple passport-size photographs as they are needed for the application form and attendance sheet. If you are currently working in KRCL on a contract basis and get selected, you don't need to serve the notice period at your current post, but you do need a relieving letter from the concerned KRCL authority. Note that no accommodation will be provided — candidates must arrange their own stay, and the notification advises being prepared to stay for a minimum of 2 days at their own cost.
