COMMON MISTAKES IN NOTICE

1.         Most of the students begin with “This is to inform all the students ...” but if the notice is not for all the students this beginning goes wrong. So avoid haste and read the question properly.

2.         Most of the students avoid ‘the’ before ‘undersigned’ which is a mistake.

3.         Most of the students use the language “ the programme has organized or has been organized” which is wrong.
