Documents to keep ready for admission counselling

Core documents for most counselling

• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates
• Entrance exam scorecard and admit card
• Photo ID (Aadhaar or passport) and passport-size photographs
• Migration or transfer certificate

Only if applicable

• Domicile or residence certificate for state quota
• Category certificate (SC / ST / OBC-NCL), EWS or disability certificate
• Medical fitness certificate
• Income certificate for scholarships
• Work experience letters for management programmes

Preparation tips

• Scan everything in colour at good resolution and keep a clear file-naming scheme
• Keep a physical set of originals and several attested photocopies
• Check names, dates of birth and spellings match across all documents; fix mismatches early
• Certificates like category and domicile can take time; apply well before counselling
• Do not upload documents anywhere except the official portal
