Bengaluru City Civil Court Recruitment 2026 - Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even well-prepared candidates sometimes make avoidable errors. Here are the most common pitfalls:
- Incorrect name on fee payment: The fee must be paid only in the name of "Vitteeshadhikariyavaru, Nagar Civil Nyayalaya, Bengaluru." Payment in any other name will be rejected and the application disqualified.
- Paying fee via Demand Draft / Cheque / Money Order / Cash: Only online payment through SBI Collect is accepted. All other modes are invalid.
- Uploading the fee receipt: Do not upload the fee payment receipt in the application - simply make the payment.
- Submitting multiple applications: Only the last submitted application will be processed. Earlier submissions are automatically ignored - there is no benefit to submitting multiple applications.
- Wrong category certificate: Candidates claiming reservation must submit certificates issued specifically by the Karnataka Government in the prescribed format. Certificates from other states or unapproved formats will be rejected.
- Not providing correct email/mobile: All communication - including call letters for tests - will go only to the email and mobile number registered in the application. Wrong details mean missing the exam call.
- Missing the application window: The portal opens on 1 July 2026 and closes on 30 July 2026 at 11:59 PM. There is no provision for late or offline submission.
- Not reading category footnotes: Several vacancies in the Peon (Javana) category have special conditions - for example, the SC (Cat-C) backlog position is reserved for the 59 most backward sub-castes first; if unavailable, it reverts to other Cat-C castes.
- Conductor certificate for Driver: Drivers must produce a valid Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) licence. A light vehicle licence alone will not be sufficient.
- Submitting false information: Any false or incomplete information submitted, if discovered during or after selection, will lead to cancellation of candidature and may result in criminal prosecution.
