To ensure a seamless application process for the massive wave of Govt Jobs 2026 (including Group I, II, III, and IV), it is now mandatory to update and validate your One-Time Registration (OTR) profile.
Originally set for early February, the deadline has been officially extended to February 25, 2026. Failure to update your profile will block you from applying for all future Latest Job Notifications issued by the commission.
