Last date — read this carefully

The official advertisement PDF prints no last date at all — the notice itself does not specify one. The last date of 25 November 2026 used here comes from FreeJobAlert and FreshersLive, almost certainly taken from the SRIC online portal, not from the PDF. It is aggregator-reported, not a figure read from the notice. Check the SRIC portal before applying.

Fee

The application fee is Rs. 0 for all categories — General, Male, OBC, Female and SC/ST — printed explicitly in the notice. The notice nonetheless prints bank details for fee deposit, but the fee itself is zero.
