• Mixing up civilian and soldier rules. Civilian staff posts and soldier trades have different advertisements, age rules and schedules. Apply under the rules of your own advertisement.

• Guessing eligibility. Education, age and domicile vary by advertisement. If your qualification does not match the advertisement, do not apply for that post find one that does.

• Submitting with errors. A wrong CNIC digit, misspelled name or mismatched education entry can end an application at scrutiny. Review the form before submitting.
