GSSSB X Ray Technician Recruitment 2026 - Common Mistakes to Avoid

This section covers errors candidates frequently make - none of these are stated in the official notification but are based on standard GSSSB recruitment patterns:

1. Not confirming the application - saving the form does not equal submission. You must click "Confirm Application" to generate a Confirmation Number.
2. Paying fee without confirming - fee paid against an unconfirmed application may not be credited to the right form.
3. Uploading a low-contrast photograph - poor-quality images cause issues during hall ticket generation and identity verification on exam day.
4. Wrong caste category selected - once confirmed, the category field cannot be changed. Choose carefully before confirming.
5. Using a different photo at exam - the same photo uploaded in the form must be used across all stages; discrepancy can block your allocation or appointment.
6. Not downloading fee receipt - without a receipt, your payment cannot be verified; always save it immediately after payment.
7. Assuming OTR (One Time Registration) = Application - completing OTR does not count as applying for this advertisement. You must separately submit an application for Advertisement No. 424/202627.
8. SEBC married women using husband's income for NCL certificate - this is a direct disqualification per official rules.
9. Uploading a photo older than one year - the photo must have been taken within one year of the closing date (i.e., not before 29 June 2025).
10. Not keeping the mobile number active - GSSSB sends exam-related SMS updates to the registered mobile number throughout the recruitment process.
