Originals vs Photocopies – What to Carry
GGSIPU institutions verify originals on the spot and retain one set of photocopies. Follow this approach to avoid confusion at the reporting desk:
- Always carry original documents — institutions will not accept certified copies in place of originals for on-the-spot verification.
- Prepare 2 self-attested photocopy sets of every document before reporting day; some institutions retain both sets.
- Self-attest by signing across the photocopy and writing Attested by Self with the date.
- Keep all documents in a clear plastic file folder arranged in the checklist order to speed up the verification process.
- Carry spare passport-size photographs beyond the stated minimum; institutions often ask for extra copies for identity cards or bonafide certificates.
- Download and print the seat allotment letter fresh from ipu.admissions.nic.in on the day of or the day before reporting to confirm current allotment status.
Steps to Complete Phase 3 Document Verification
Follow these steps to complete IPU CET 2026 Phase 3 reporting without errors:
- Log in to ipu.admissions.nic.in and download the Phase 3 seat allotment letter.

- Prepare 2 self-attested photocopy sets of every document before the reporting date.
- Report to the allotted institution on or before July 14, 2026 with originals and photocopies.
- Submit documents to the admission committee; originals will be verified and returned on the spot.
- Pay the admission or seat-acceptance fee at the institution counter if not already paid online.
- Collect the acknowledgement slip or fee receipt after successful verification — this is your proof of admission.
If a document is missing, the institution may grant a short window to produce it. However, seats can be cancelled without further notice if documents are not submitted within the permitted time. Contact the institution’s admission office immediately if you face any difficulty.
