Clearing written examinations and interview rounds is a massive milestone, but the final stage of any government recruitment process is Document Verification (DV). Candidates frequently overlook this stage, assuming selection implies automatic appointment. Missing certificates, spelling discrepancies, or outdated reservation documents can lead to immediate disqualification at the final hurdle.
