- The hyperlink will take you to the Applicant login page and will ask for your UserID and password. In case you are not registered on that portal, you first need to get yourself registered thereby filling in your personal details like your name, contact number, gender, DOB, email, etc.
- After logging in, fill in the required details as per the form (generally forms are divided into 3 levels) so that the registration process can take place.
- After filling the online form, you are required to pay the applicable fees for your course (fee details are given later in this article). Just double-check the details entered by you in the form before making the payment to avoid any inconvenience.
- The system will automatically generate the form after successful payment, which is required to be printed & signed upon and to be submitted to the concerned regional office within 7 days of online registration (along with few other documents, covered later).
