Lesson 5 of 5

Filling online forms and staying safe online

Use government and job websites safely, and avoid fake sites.

3 min +10 points

Check the website

Government websites in India end in .gov.in or .nic.in. Look carefully at the address before typing anything. Fake sites copy logos and change one letter.

Filling a form

  • Keep your documents ready: ID, photo, certificates.
  • Type your name exactly as on your ID.
  • Check everything before you tap Submit, and save the receipt or screenshot.

Strong passwords

Use a password that is long and not your name or birth date. Don't use the same password everywhere. Never share passwords or OTPs.

If you pay a fee

Pay only on the official website, and only fees the official notice mentions. Keep the receipt.
