💡 Expert Tip
The experience certificate for the 1-year Cath Lab experience is the most scrutinised document in this selection — it must be from a Central/State Government institution (not private hospitals) in the EXACT prescribed format given in the notification. The certificate requires two parts: the institution's own certificate AND an attestation by the authorised enforcement officer under the relevant Act/Rules. Private hospital experience is NOT accepted for this requirement. Candidates who have worked in government medical college cardiac units, AIIMS, ESI hospitals, or Defence sector hospitals should get their experience certificates prepared well in advance. Also, your Kerala Para Medical Council registration number must be active — verify its validity before the last date.
