Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, has issued a short clarification notice about the MBBS/BDS Admission Prospectus for Session 2026. The university says that Annexure-VI, printed on Page 48 of the prospectus under Clause 11, Note (ii)(d), contained an error. A corrected version of this annexure has now been uploaded separately on the university website. This is not a new rule or a new deadline — it is a correction notice telling candidates which version of a specific certificate format to use. Anyone who needs to submit this particular certificate as part of their admission documents must now use the revised version, not the one printed in the prospectus booklet.
If you are submitting the Annexure-VI certificate (for children of employees of Punjab Government autonomous bodies with 20% or more government shares), use only the revised version uploaded on the BFUHS website — the version printed on Page 48 of the prospectus is outdated and contains an error.
What exactly went wrong
BFUHS has stated plainly that Annexure-VI, as printed in the MBBS/BDS Admission Prospectus 2026 on Page No. 48, has an 'inadvertent error.' The university has not detailed what the specific mistake was, but it has taken the step of preparing a corrected version and uploading it separately on the university website.
The notice is clear that from now on, the version on the website is the only valid one. It 'shall be treated as the authentic and valid version' and 'shall supersede' the printed version in the prospectus.
Who this affects
Annexure-VI is a certificate under Clause 11, Note (ii)(d) of the Punjab Government Notification dated 10.07.2026. It is meant to be issued by the Head of an Autonomous Body — this refers to organisations in which the Punjab Government holds 20% or more shares.
This certificate is relevant only to candidates who are claiming an admission benefit because one of their parents (father or mother) works for such a Punjab Government-linked autonomous body. If this does not apply to you, this notice does not change anything for your application.
If it does apply to you, you must get this certificate issued using the corrected format, not the version printed in the prospectus.
What the certificate must contain
The revised Annexure-VI form requires the Head of the Autonomous Body to certify the following details on official letterhead, with seal:
- Name of the employee (father/mother of the candidate)
- Name of the autonomous body in which the Punjab Government has 20% or more shares
- Designation of the employee (what post they hold)
- Place of posting
- Date from which the employee has been working there ('w.e.f.')
- Name of the candidate (confirming the employee is their father or mother)
- Date of issue of the certificate
- Signature and official seal of the Head of the Autonomous Body
The trap to avoid
This is the single most important thing in this notice: if you download or copy the Annexure-VI format from the prospectus PDF itself (Page 48), you may be using the wrong, error-containing version. Colleges and the university are likely to accept only the corrected format going forward.
Before you get this certificate signed and sealed by the Head of the Autonomous Body, make sure you are using the revised version downloaded fresh from the BFUHS admission website — not a printout or scan of the prospectus page.
Since the university has not specified exactly what the error was, do not try to guess or fix it yourself. Always use the officially uploaded revised copy.
What has not changed
This notice is only a correction to a certificate format. It does not change any admission dates, eligibility criteria, fee structure, or counselling schedule for MBBS/BDS 2026 admissions through BFUHS. The underlying benefit under Clause 11, Note (ii)(d) — for children of employees of Punjab Government autonomous bodies with 20% or more government shareholding — remains the same; only the paperwork used to prove it has been corrected.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Do I need to worry about this notice if my parent does not work for a Punjab Government autonomous body?
No. This clarification is only relevant to candidates claiming a benefit for children of employees of Punjab Government autonomous bodies with 20% or more government shares. If this does not apply to you, you can ignore this notice.
Where do I get the corrected Annexure-VI form?
The notice says the revised Annexure-VI has been uploaded on the BFUHS website. Download it from there rather than using the copy printed on Page 48 of the prospectus PDF.
What was wrong with the original Annexure-VI?
The notice only says the printed version 'contains an inadvertent error' without specifying what it is. It does not give further detail, so the safest step is simply to use the corrected version rather than trying to identify the mistake yourself.
Who is supposed to sign the Annexure-VI certificate?
The Head of the Autonomous Body where the candidate's father or mother is employed must sign and seal the certificate.
Does this notice change any admission dates or deadlines?
No. This is purely a correction to one certificate format (Annexure-VI). No dates, fees, or eligibility rules are affected.
What details must the Head of the Autonomous Body fill in on the certificate?
The employee's name, the name of the autonomous body, the employee's designation and place of posting, the date they started working there, and confirmation that they are the father or mother of the named candidate, along with the date of issue, signature and seal.
If you are relying on the Clause 11, Note (ii)(d) benefit for children of employees of Punjab Government autonomous bodies, download the revised Annexure-VI directly from the BFUHS admission website before getting it signed — do not use the copy printed in the prospectus. If in doubt, contact BFUHS directly to confirm you have the correct, current format before submitting your documents.
