Additional Documents for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS Students

EWS students must ensure the annual family income stated on the certificate falls within the limit prescribed by the Haryana government for the current year.


Haryana Resident Certificate: Who Needs It and How to Get It

The Haryana Resident Certificate is compulsory for all students seeking admission under the Haryana state quota. Students who have studied in Haryana or whose parents are permanent residents of the state are eligible. Here is how to obtain the certificate before your counselling date:

  1. Visit the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) office or Tehsildar office in your home district.
  2. Carry your Aadhaar card, ration card, voter ID, or a utility bill as proof of Haryana residence.
  3. Submit the prescribed application form along with a passport-size photograph and address proof.
  4. The certificate is typically issued within 7 to 15 working days after verification by the authorities.
  5. You can also apply online through the Haryana Saral Portal for faster processing at select tehsil offices.

If you completed Classes 9 to 12 from a school registered in Haryana, carry your school records as additional residence evidence. Students whose parents are government employees posted in Haryana also qualify — bring the parent’s service or posting certificate together with the residency application. Apply early, as processing delays close to the counselling window can affect your participation.


What to Expect at Document Verification

Document verification for Haryana NEET Counselling 2026 is expected to begin at designated reporting centres from June 25, 2026. Here is what happens on the day:

  • Report at your allotted time slot; late arrivals may not be accommodated the same day and risk losing the allotted seat.
  • Officials check all originals against the self-attested copies you submit. Keep originals accessible, not packed at the bottom of your bag.
  • Documents with corrections or overwriting will be scrutinised closely — carry a notarised affidavit explaining any discrepancy in name, date of birth, or other details.
  • If all documents are in order, you will receive a provisional seat allotment letter along with fee payment instructions.
  • Pay the seat acceptance fee before the stated deadline to confirm your seat; missing the payment window causes the seat to move to the next counselling round.

After verification, the allotted college will share further admission formalities and a hostel reporting schedule if applicable. Keep photocopies of all submitted documents for your own records throughout the academic year.
