What About Documents During Counselling?
Here's something very important - all the documents you upload during registration are simple scans. When you are selected and attend the counselling session, you must bring the original documents and their photocopies.
Documents required to be ready for counselling:
- All original certificates you uploaded
- 2-3 photocopies of each document
- Additional recent photographs (about 5-6 copies)
- Your MH CET scorecard printout
- Application form printout
- Provisional allotment letter
Special Cases: What If Your Results Are Awaited?
- For 3-Year LLB Students: Last year of graduation, and the results have not been released yet? No worries! You can still fill out the admission form. At the time of applying, you would be asked to upload the mark sheet of the previous semester. Final results would be required at the time of counselling.
- For 5-Year LLB Students: If you are waiting for your 12th board results, you can register based on your 11th mark sheet and a bonafide certificate from your school stating you are an appearing candidate for 12th board. Just remember, it is a must for you to bring along your final 12th mark sheet proving the required percentage during counselling.
Getting documents ready is really a simple thing if you begin early. Don't wait to find out on the day of registration itself that something is missing. Take out a day to get everything properly scanned and stick the documents in a folder.
Remember, the CET Cell is very strict about the verification of documents. Any mismatch of names, dates, or details later on can get you into some trouble. So, make sure you have cross-checked everything before uploading.
Most importantly, keep checking for changes in document requirements on the official MH CET website. Sometimes they add certain requirements; sometimes they will remove certain requirements. Therefore, it is good to stay ahead.
