Common Mistakes to Avoid – RCF Bharti 2026

Many candidates lose their eligibility due to avoidable errors in the application process. The following original guidance is based on common pitfalls in PSU  recruitment applications.

Uploading documents in wrong formats is one of the most common rejection reasons – ensure photographs are in JPG/JPEG at 165×125 pixels and all supporting documents are in PDF format. Candidates often assume M.Com qualifies for the Finance Officer post – the notification explicitly states M.Com is not accepted; an MBA/MMS/PGDM with Finance specialization is mandatory. Failing to convert CGPA to percentage before submission causes frequent rejections; contact your university for the official conversion formula and attach a copy at interview. OBC candidates whose most recent Non-Creamy Layer certificate was issued before 1 April 2025 will not be accepted – the notification specifically requires a certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025.

Counting internship, articleship, or training periods as work experience is not permitted – only post-qualification executive experience counts. Name mismatches between the application and photo identity proof result in disqualification from the Skill Test or Interview – use your name exactly as it appears on your Matriculation certificate. Government-employed candidates must carry a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their present employer at the time of interview or their candidature will be rejected.
