Application Scrutiny and Merit List

Dr. NTRUHS will scrutinize the data and scanned certificates uploaded by candidates.

After scrutiny, the university will release a provisional merit list. A final merit list will subsequently be released after addressing grievances, if any, raised by candidates.

Candidates should regularly visit the university website for further notifications and instructions regarding web options and counselling.

Applications May Be Rejected for Incomplete or Incorrect Uploads

The university has stated that online applications may be rejected automatically if they contain certain deficiencies, including:

• Incomplete details.
• Missing photograph or signature.
• Certificates that are invisible or not properly uploaded.
• Certificates that are not properly scanned and therefore do not allow determination of eligibility.

No separate communication will be sent regarding such rejection.

Candidates are therefore advised to carefully verify all information and uploaded documents before submitting the application.

Original Certificate Verification

Certificate verification will initially be conducted based on the scanned certificates uploaded online.

Candidates should keep all original certificates ready for final verification.

At the time of joining the allotted college, candidates will have to submit the printout of the filled online application form, provisional verification form and original certificates along with one set of self-attested copies.

If any discrepancy is found during final verification, the provisional allotment order may be cancelled without notice.

Candidates should not send the printout of the application form to the university.

Admission Will Remain Provisional

The notification states that candidate admission is strictly provisional.

The mere fact that a candidate's name appears in the merit position does not mean that the university has finally accepted the candidature or verified all information submitted in the online application.

An ineligible candidate obtaining a merit position will not become eligible for admission merely because of the merit position.

If information furnished by a candidate is found to be incorrect, the candidature may be cancelled and further action may be taken according to the applicable rules.

If certificates are found to be fake, false or forged at any stage of verification or admission, the university can cancel the seat or admission without notice.

The university will subsequently issue notifications regarding web counselling and exercising web options.

The area-wise seat matrix will be displayed on the university website before commencement of counselling.

Candidates should therefore regularly check the official Dr. NTRUHS website for:
