How to apply
- Apply only through the CPRI online registration system. Submit a separate application, with fee and documents, for each post. Multiple applications for the same post lead to rejection of all.

- The signature must match the one you use on the CBT attendance sheet. A mismatch can cancel your candidature.
- Choose your category carefully; it cannot be changed later. OBC candidates must hold a valid OBC(NCL) certificate, otherwise they are treated as UR. EWS candidates need the latest valid EWS certificate.
- Government, PSU and autonomous-body employees must produce an original NOC from their employer at document verification.
- Check that every document is clearly legible. Incomplete applications are rejected. Registered applications cannot be withdrawn.
- Print and keep a copy of your submitted application.
