What Is the Certificate Verification Process?
Certificate verification is a mandatory step before the rank list is prepared. Candidates must report to their allotted TFC with original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies. The TFC officials check the marksheets, community certificate, nativity certificate and other documents uploaded online.
Candidates who skip verification will not appear in the final rank list. The verification window closes on June 20, 2026. Slots are allotted based on the schedule communicated by the TFC.
