Further, the authority warned applicants against any form of canvassing, saying it will lead to automatic disqualification.
“IPOA does not engage any recruitment agencies, and no medical examination is required before one attends an interview. IPOA does not charge a fee at any stage of the recruitment process (application, shortlisting, or interview),” IPOA added.
