🔍 Online vs Offline Application – What is the Main Difference?
Many applicants are confused about whether to apply online or offline. Let’s understand the main differences clearly.
| Feature | Online Application | Offline (Camp) Application |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Number | Generated automatically after submission | Given at Duare Sarkar camp |
| Waiting Time | No waiting, apply from home | May need to stand in line for hours |
| Receipt Copy | Instant download | Tear-off receipt given |
| Risk of Form Loss | No | Possible if misplaced |
| Cost | Free (if done at home) | Free, but cyber café may charge ₹70–₹100 |
⚠️ Important Difference
In offline camp mode, you receive a 25-digit Duare Sarkar Registration Number, which must be written:

But in online mode, the registration number is automatically generated once you submit the form successfully.
