• Candidates should use the DigiLocker-linked registration process. For the same, candidates should update their DigiLocker accounts.
• Before opening the application form, candidates should keep their photograph, signature, valid identity-related documents, and academic information ready in the prescribed format. Having the files prepared beforehand can reduce the possibility of uploading the wrong document or missing a required field.
