1. Fill out the application form on the portal.
2. Download and print the referee forms provided during the application. These forms must be completed and submitted at the screening stage.
3. Submit the application form online within the stipulated deadline.

Multiple applications will result in automatic disqualification. According to the Board, some candidates often submit their applications multiple times to gain an unfair advantage or as a result of making mistakes during the registration. This becomes a problem to the Board, including the inflation of the number of legitimate applicants. As a consequence, the Board will be disqualifying those who submit their online applications more than ONCE.
