Documents and Formalities to Carry
The department has specifically advised candidates to carefully read the instructions printed on their own admit card and comply with them, since exact document requirements can vary slightly based on your post category. As a general baseline, keep the following ready:
- Printed admit card for Document Evaluation/Verification and Band Proficiency Test
- Original educational certificates and mark sheets
- Original identity proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or similar)
- Category/domicile certificates, if applicable to your application
- Any specific item or document mentioned directly on your individual admit card
Since this is a document-heavy verification stage, missing even one required original certificate could delay or affect your candidature — double-check the list on your own admit card rather than relying only on this general guidance.
