Complete Documents Checklist for LFAT 2026 Counselling

Originals vs Photocopies: What to Carry

Carry original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies for every document in your checklist. At LFAT 2026 reporting, officials will verify originals and retain one set of photocopies for university records. The second set is your own backup.

  • Self-attest every photocopy by signing on the copy and writing "True copy" with the date — do not use a notary unless specifically asked.
  • Originals will be returned to you after verification; only photocopies are submitted.
  • Laminated certificates are generally accepted, but carry un-laminated copies as well in case of scanning requirements.
  • Do not submit original Aadhaar Card — a clear photocopy with the last four digits visible is sufficient for identity verification.

Category-wise Additional Documents

Students applying under reserved categories must carry additional certificates issued by the competent authority (District Magistrate / SDM / Tehsildar as applicable). An expired or incorrectly issued certificate will lead to reclassification under the general category for seat purposes.

Category Additional Documents Required
SC / ST Caste Certificate issued by competent authority; sub-caste must match the central/state list
OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) OBC-NCL Certificate (issued within the current financial year); caste validity certificate if applicable
EWS EWS Income and Asset Certificate issued by Tehsildar or SDM for the financial year 2025–26
PwD / Divyangjan Disability Certificate from a government hospital with percentage of disability mentioned
Defence / Ex-Servicemen Ward Service/Discharge Certificate of parent; relationship proof (birth certificate)
Freedom Fighter Ward Certificate from the Home Department recognising the freedom fighter; relationship proof

Documents for LLB 3-Year vs BA LLB 5-Year

The University of Allahabad’s Law Faculty offers two programs through LFAT 2026. Document requirements differ based on the program you are admitted to.

Program Minimum Qualification Additional Documents
BA LLB (5-Year Integrated) Class 12 (10+2) pass from a recognised board Class 12 Marksheet and Passing Certificate only; no graduation documents needed
LLB (3-Year) Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university (minimum 45% for general; 40% for SC/ST as per BCI norms) Graduation Degree / Provisional Certificate; marksheets of all years/semesters of graduation; Class 12 documents still required

For LLB 3-year applicants, carry marksheets for every semester or year of your undergraduate degree. If your university issues a consolidated marksheet, carry that along with individual year marksheets if available. Students whose final-year results are awaited must carry a certificate of appearing / provisional marksheet from their institution confirming they have appeared in the final examination.


Tips to Avoid Document Rejection at Reporting

  • Check spelling consistency — your name must appear identically across all certificates; a mismatch triggers an affidavit requirement.
  • OBC-NCL certificates must be of the current financial year (2025–26); certificates from previous years are not accepted.
  • Carry a notarised affidavit if there is any name discrepancy between your Class 10 certificate and Aadhaar Card — prepare this in advance.
  • Colour printouts of downloaded documents are accepted, but ensure the document is clear and all text/seals are legible.
  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your slot; document verification queues are long on the first day of reporting.
  • Carry your call letter / reporting schedule printed from the official portal.
  • If your migration certificate is pending from your previous university, carry an acknowledgement letter showing you have applied for it.

LFAT 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs

Ques. What is the most important document to carry for LFAT 2026 reporting?

Ans. Your LFAT 2026 Admit Card and Score Card are the primary documents. Without these, you will not be permitted to enter the document verification area. Keep printouts of both in your file.

Ques. How many passport-size photographs should I carry for LFAT 2026 counselling?

Ans. Carry at least 6 to 8 recent passport-size photographs with a white background. These are required for admission forms, the university identity card, and other records at the time of reporting.

Ques. Is a domicile certificate mandatory for all students appearing for LFAT 2026 counselling?

Ans. A domicile certificate is mandatory for students claiming seats under the Uttar Pradesh state quota. Students applying under the general open category may still be asked to produce it as an address proof, so carry it regardless.

Ques. My OBC certificate is from last year. Will it be accepted at LFAT 2026 reporting?

Ans. No. OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificates must be issued for the current financial year (2025–26). An OBC certificate issued in a previous financial year is not accepted. Get a fresh certificate from your Tehsildar or SDM before the reporting date.

Ques. Do I need to submit original certificates at LFAT 2026 document verification?

Ans. Originals are brought for verification only and are returned to you on the same day. The university retains one set of self-attested photocopies. Never submit your original certificates unless explicitly instructed by the university in writing.

Ques. What happens if I am unable to produce my Migration Certificate on the day of LFAT 2026 reporting?

Ans. If your migration certificate is pending, carry an acknowledgement or receipt showing you have applied for it at your previous institution. The university may grant a short window to submit it, but this is at the discretion of the admissions committee. It is best to apply for the Migration Certificate well before the reporting date.
