Candidates applying for DSSSB 2026 should be careful about a few common pitfalls in the online application process. Photo and signature uploads are a frequent reason for rejection — ensure the image files are clear, correctly sized, and within the file-size limit specified on the portal. Blurred or illegible uploads will cause outright rejection of candidature. If the payment gateway shows an error after fee deduction, do not immediately retry; wait for a few hours to check whether the payment was credited before attempting again through the portal's payment history section. Use an updated browser (Chrome or Firefox preferred) and avoid mobile browsers for form submission, as they may not render all fields correctly. Save your User ID and password immediately after registration and store your application number carefully — all future communications from DSSSB will reference these. Avoid applying on the last day; DSSSB expressly states it will not be responsible for inability to submit due to heavy server load near the closing date.
