💡 Expert Tip
Your driving licence with badge must remain valid throughout every single stage of selection — application deadline, OMR test, physical efficiency test, and practical test — not just at the time of applying. A lapsed badge at any checkpoint can cost you the selection, so renew well in advance. Also, selected candidates must execute a security bond committing to serve the government for a specified period after training; review the bond's financial penalty clauses in the notification before applying if you're unsure about the service commitment.
