• Typing test: a wrong word or figure is a full mistake. Typing a capital letter for a small letter (or the other way round), and omitting, adding or substituting a punctuation mark, is a half mistake.
• Shorthand test: at most 5% of the total words dictated in the passage may be mistakes. A mistake of full stop (.) is a half mistake, and so is a capital letter typed for a small letter or the other way round.

• Admission at every stage (Objective Type Test, Shorthand Test, Typing Test and Interview) is purely provisional. Eligibility is checked at document verification, and candidature is cancelled without notice if a condition is not met, before or after the tests or interview.
• Impersonation, false or tampered documents, or suppressing facts lead to removal or disqualification, prosecution and debarment from future appointment in the Registry, at any stage, including during probation or after confirmation.
• Candidates working in Central or State Government, Nationalized Banks or Public Sector Undertakings must submit a No Objection Certificate from their employer at document verification.
• If you were not employed when you applied and get a job during or after the examination process, tell the Branch Officer, Recruitment Cell at recruitment.cell@sci.nic.in immediately; otherwise the Registry will draw an adverse inference.
• Selected candidates must give an undertaking that, without demur, they will work even at odd hours and on holidays.
• The number of posts may change, and the Registry may make such a change with the approval of the competent Authority. The Registry may cancel, restrict, enlarge, modify or alter the selection process without notice. Application forms that do not follow the instructions are summarily rejected. Any dispute falls under Delhi jurisdiction.
• Keep a valid personal e-mail ID and mobile number active through the whole process. Later dates are notified on www.sci.gov.in.
