Merit List Is Provisional
The CET Cell has clarified that the provisional merit list is based on the information provided by candidates in the registration form and the e-verification of uploaded documents. Therefore, inclusion in the provisional merit list does not by itself confirm final admission eligibility.
Candidates should carefully check their details in the merit list and ensure that the information related to their candidature and reservation category is correct.
Original Documents Required for Admission
According to the notice, admission will take place only after verification of the original certificates at the admitting college.
The benefit of any reservation will also be available only after the required documents are produced and successfully verified.
Candidates claiming reservation or specified-category benefits should therefore ensure that their certificates and supporting documents are available in the required format.
NRI and PWD Candidates
The merit list also carries specific remarks concerning certain candidates. The document states that NRI candidature is subject to approval from the ARA, while PWD candidature is subject to eligibility from the Medical Board.
Candidates should therefore note that such entries remain subject to the applicable approval and eligibility conditions.
