Bypassing the need for cyber cafes or long queues, eligible candidates can now submit their applications directly via the ‘Banglar Yuvasathi’ mobile app. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to download the app, the eligibility criteria, and the step-by-step form filling process.

Key Eligibility & Crucial Conditions

Before starting the application, it is vital to understand the restrictions, especially regarding other government benefits.
