Common Mistakes That Get Your Application Rejected
⚠️ **Missing or Incorrect NRI Documents**: The most common reason for rejection is failure to submit valid NRI eligibility proof. Your passport, Green Card, OCI/PIO card, or foreign residency certificate must be current and valid. If your passport has expired or your OCI card is not yet issued, your application will be rejected. Ensure all documents are uploaded as clear, legible scans during registration.
⚠️ **Incomplete or Unnotarised Sponsorship/Guardian Certificates**: If you are sponsored by an NRI/OCI parent or guardian, the Sponsorship Certificate (Proforma-6 or Proforma-7) must be duly notarised by a Notary Public or authenticated by the Indian Embassy/High Commission. An unsigned or unnotarised certificate will be rejected. Similarly, the Parent/Guardian Certificate must carry the notary seal and signature.
⚠️ **Missing NEET PG 2026 Qualification**: You must have qualified NEET PG 2026. If you did not appear for the exam or did not meet the qualifying cutoff, you are ineligible. The college will verify your NEET PG score against the official NEET PG 2026 result published by the National Board of Examinations (NBE).
⚠️ **Late or Incomplete Payment**: If you do not pay the full registration fee (₹10,000) and security amount (₹2,00,000) by 25 October 2026 at 4:00 PM, your registration will not be processed. Partial payments or payments made after the deadline will not be accepted.
⚠️ **Failure to Appear for Document Verification**: If your name appears on the merit list but you do not attend document verification on 27 October 2026, you will be marked as absent and will not be eligible to fill choices. There is no provision for late document verification.
⚠️ **False or Forged Documents**: Submitting false, forged, or fraudulent documents will result in immediate cancellation of your candidacy and may lead to criminal prosecution. The college will verify the authenticity of all documents, including passports and embassy certificates.
