Expired or incorrect category certificate OBC/EWS certificates must be recently issued (within the validity period mentioned in the notification). SC/ST certificates should be from the competent authority of Punjab, not another state.
Missing original documents Photocopies are not accepted in place of originals. Candidates often forget to bring original semester-wise marksheets or the AMIE membership certificate.
