Common Application Pitfalls

• OTR Confusion: Registering for OTR is not equivalent to applying for the post; you must submit a separate application after OTR.
• Payment Errors: Ensure both the processing fee and examination fee are paid; incomplete payment renders the application invalid.
• Verification Details: Ensure all certificates, including community and income certificates, are issued by the competent Telangana Revenue Authority (Tahsildar level or above).
