Government Central Press Gandhinagar Apprentices Recruitment 2026 - Apply Offline for 31 Posts

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not Registering on Apprenticeship India Portal: This is a mandatory first step. Many candidates overlook this or forget to mention the registration number. Always register first and clearly write your registration number on your application.
• Missing the Application Deadline: The last date for submission is July 31, 2026. Sending your application at the last minute risks postal delays. Dispatch your application well in advance.
• Incomplete or Incorrect Application Form: Ensure all fields in your application (even if handwritten) are filled accurately and completely. Double-check your personal details, educational qualifications, and contact information.
• Not Self-Attesting Documents: Submitting photocopies without your signature and "Self-Attested" written on them is a common reason for rejection. Make sure every copy is properly attested.
• Submitting Irrelevant Documents: Only send the documents specifically asked for (birth certificate, educational mark sheets/certificates). Sending too many unnecessary documents can confuse the process.
• Incorrect Educational Qualification: Applying for a trade without meeting its specific educational requirement (e.g., applying for Offset Machine Minder without Science in 10th) will lead to immediate disqualification.
• Not Checking Age Limit: Ensure your age falls within the 14 to 25 years bracket as of July 31, 2026. Do not assume age relaxation if not explicitly mentioned.
• Ignoring the "Personal Visit" Instruction: The notification clearly states candidates must appear for a personal visit at their own expense. Not being prepared for this stage or failing to attend will result in disqualification.
• Assuming an Application Fee: Since no fee is mentioned, do not send any payment. Sending money when not required can complicate your application.
• Not Keeping a Copy of the Application: Always make a photocopy of your entire application package before sending it. This serves as proof and a reference for you.
