Form Fill-up FAQ

Take a printout (or download) of your application. If “Fee Paid” is mentioned anywhere on the form/receipt, your payment is successful.

Make the payment again. The previous failed transaction amount will be refunded by the gateway/bank automatically.

No issue. Your form will still be accepted.

Only the last submitted form is treated as valid. Fees paid for earlier incorrect submissions are not refundable.

No, your form will not be rejected for this alone. However, prefer a light/neutral background for best compliance.

Yes, there is generally no issue. The form will be accepted.

No problem—your form remains accepted.

Based on multiple student submissions in earlier cycles, forms with minor omissions in the declaration (e.g., missed DOB or one phrase) have been accepted. We have no verified cases where a form was rejected only for this reason.

What you can do:

• Do not panic. Keep the acknowledgement and application printout safe.
• Carry a correct declaration (rewritten properly) to future stages (document verification/biometrics) in case it is asked.
• If the portal offers an edit window, upload the corrected file there.

Final decision always rests with the exam authority; follow the official notification if it specifies stricter rules.

Any Government recognized institute/certificate is considered valid.

Short answer: It’s optional/voluntary. You can choose Yes or No; there is generally no issue with form acceptance just because of this choice, unless the official notification specifically makes it mandatory.

• Why it’s asked: To auto-fetch documents (e.g., 10th certificate) directly from DigiLocker for convenience.
• If you choose “No”: Simply upload the required scanned documents as per the given specifications.
• Change later: If an edit window is provided, you may link DigiLocker at that time as well.
• Revoke access: You can remove any granted access from your DigiLocker account settings (look for Linked Apps/Services or Manage Consents).

Always follow the exact instructions in the official notification if a particular exam mandates DigiLocker linkage.

No. Once the centre is allotted, it cannot be changed.

Print only the first page unless the notification specifically asks for more.
