Important safety reminder
Never share OTPs, banking passwords, card details or remote device access with someone claiming to offer a job.
Before applying
- Confirm that the employer, authority and application website are genuine.
- Read the complete official notification before taking action.
- Check the website domain carefully for spelling changes.
- Search for the company address and official contact information.
- Be cautious when an offer promises unusually high salary for very little work.
Common job-scam warning signs
- guaranteed selection without interview or assessment;
- urgent payment to secure a job or interview slot;
- payment requested to a personal UPI ID or bank account;
- communication only through unofficial messaging accounts;
- requests for OTPs, PINs or remote-access applications;
- poorly written appointment letters from free email accounts;
- pressure to recruit more people or purchase products;
- requests for unnecessary identity or financial documents.
Application fees
Some official recruitment processes may legally charge an application or examination fee. Pay only through the method stated in the official notification and verify the recipient before completing payment.
NE Job Desk does not collect application fees from job seekers.
Protect your personal information
- Share only information necessary for the application.
- Do not send original identity documents to unknown people.

Interview safety
- Verify the interview address before travelling.
- Tell a family member or friend where you are going.
- Prefer official offices and normal working hours.
