Candidates are advised to complete their applications before the final deadline to avoid last-minute technical glitches that commonly occur during peak submission periods.
The selection process is expected to involve a written examination conducted by the commission, followed by document verification. Candidates who qualify the preliminary screening will be called for the main test. Results will be published on the official website once the evaluation process is completed.
