Rejected or still waiting? Check these first
Most applications fail for a correctable reason, not because the applicant was ineligible. Before assuming you do not qualify, check each of these:
- OBC certificate could not be verified online against the tehsil record
- Claimed the hosteller rate without a hostel certificate
- School did not verify the form before the deadline
Still stuck after checking all of these? Tell us what happened and we will help you work out which office to approach.
