Double-check subject and category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD).\n4. **Upload** photo, signature, marksheets and category certificate (each ≤ 100 KB, JPG).\n5. **Pay fee** online (₹0 for SC/ST/PwD/Women in most drives; ₹1,000–₹1,500 for general).\n6. **Download admit card** ~10 days before exam. Appear for **CBT** at the allotted centre.\n7. **Shortlisted candidates** attend **document verification + interview / demo class**.\n\nKeep scanned copies of all certificates ready in advance — most portals reject files above 200 KB.",
