• Qualification — 10th Pass, 12th Pass, ITI, Diploma, Graduate, etc.
• State — your home state or nearby states

Prepare the following before starting your application. Requirements vary — always check the official notification:

Tip: Scan all documents at 200–300 DPI and save as PDF/JPG. Check the notification for exact file size and dimension requirements before uploading.

Most government recruitment applications are submitted through the official recruitment board's portal (e.g., ssc.gov.in, rrbapply.gov.in, ibps.in). Steps typically include:

1. Register — create an account on the official portal using your mobile number and email
2. Fill personal details — name (as per 10th certificate), date of birth, category, address
3. Fill educational details — board/university, year of passing, percentage
4. Upload documents — photo, signature, and other certificates in specified formats
5. Review carefully — check all entries before proceeding; most forms cannot be edited after submission
6. Submit — note your Application/Registration Number for future reference

Tip: Never use browser autofill for government forms — it can enter incorrect values in wrong fields. Type details manually.

Most government jobs have an application fee. Common fee structures:

• General/OBC/EWS: ₹100 – ₹500 depending on the post
• SC/ST/PwD/Women: Often exempted (check the notification)
• Ex-Servicemen: Often exempted

Payment modes accepted:

• UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm)
• Net Banking
• Debit / Credit Card
• Bank Challan (offline payment at SBI / post office — available for some exams)

Always save the fee payment receipt / transaction ID. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page.

Admit cards (Hall Tickets) are released 1–3 weeks before the examination date. Download it from the official recruitment portal using your Registration Number and Date of Birth.

Monitor the Admit Cards section on AiExamRadar for release alerts, or set up a Job Alert for your specific exam.

• Print 2–3 copies and keep them in a safe place
• Carry a valid photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport) along with the admit card on exam day
• Check the admit card carefully — exam center, date, time, reporting time, instructions
• Some exams also require a recent passport-size photo to be pasted on the admit card

Smart preparation is the difference between selection and rejection. Use these resources on AiExamRadar:
