7. Track your email/SMS and LIC Careers page for call letters and updates.

• Multiple applications: Apply for ONE post only among AAO Generalist/Specialist/AE. Multiple applications can be cancelled; fees for other registrations are forfeited. Multiple attendance will lead to rejection.
• PwBD: 4% horizontal reservation; scribe/compensatory time as per GOI norms with requisite certificates (Annexures).

2. Daily routine (2–4 hrs on weekdays; longer on weekends):
