Document Format and Submission Guidelines
Following these guidelines ensures your documents are accepted without rejection or delay on reporting day.
- Originals must be produced in person for verification; they are returned to you after the check is complete.
- Prepare two sets of self-attested photocopies — sign each copy with your name and write "Self Attested" before submitting.
- All documents should be in English or Telugu; documents in any other language require a notarised translation.
- Photographs must be recent (taken within the last three months), passport-sized, against a white or light plain background.
- Caste and income certificates must be current-year documents; certificates older than 12 months are generally rejected.
- Link your Aadhaar to your mobile number before reporting — colleges require an Aadhaar-linked mobile for OTP-based verification in many cases.
- Keep scanned digital copies of all documents on your phone or email as a backup in case originals are misplaced in transit.
If your Aadhaar address differs from the address on your study certificates, carry an additional residence proof such as a ration card, voter ID, or electricity bill to avoid any address mismatch query at the admission counter.
What to Do if a Document is Missing
Do not skip your reporting date if a document is missing. Report on the scheduled date and follow the steps below to avoid seat cancellation.
- Affidavit or undertaking — Most colleges accept a notarised affidavit for a non-critical missing document and allow you 10 to 15 days to submit the original.
- TC pending from previous college — Carry a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your previous institution. Most colleges accept an NOC provisionally while the TC is being processed.
- Caste or income certificate pending — Carry the acknowledgement slip from the MRO or Tahsildar as proof of application and submit the original certificate within the deadline set by the college.
- Lost original marks memo — Apply immediately for a duplicate from the Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana (BIE). Carry the application acknowledgement slip to the college.
- Report the issue to the DOST helpdesk via the official portal at dost.cgg.gov.in for guidance on grievance redressal or document extension requests.
Always get a written acknowledgement from the college admissions officer stating which document is pending and the deadline by which it must be submitted. This protects your seat while you arrange the missing certificate.
