• Skipping the Payment Step: A candidate needs to pay the required fee before finishing their application. Successful payment verification must be completed before saving the transaction receipt for later use.
• Not Reviewing the Application Before Submission: All candidate details need a final review before application completion and submission. After submission, the database stops accepting changes to your application.
• Delaying the Submission Until the Last Date: Those who submit their forms late are at risk of encountering website downtimes and payment system breakdowns. Candidates should submit their applications prior to the due date.
