This 1194-vacancy cycle is a significant opportunity across multiple ranks, but candidates often get disqualified during the document verification stage due to mismatched age proof or category certificates. Note that the application window is fairly generous, but I strongly advise you not to wait until May 4th to avoid potential server congestion. If you make a mistake in your initial form, the correction window from May 6th-8th is your only chance to rectify it, so keep your portal login credentials safe until the process concludes.
