Most common mistakes students make during NEET Counseling

nbsp;

For online counseling, there aren’t many mistakes going to happen as you get a step by step process with complete description on respective websites. 

For example, Delhi university colleges, it was pretty much sorted.

But if we talk about offline counseling then these are the mistakes that every student must avoid.

• • Check previous year cutoffs: Be aware about the last year AIQ and state cutoffs so that you can predict which colleges can be selected for you. Read this article to check 2019 cutoffs for every state- Previous year’s NEET UG 2019 cut off Marks
  • Mark dates: Read all the instructions carefully. Be informed about all the counseling dates and procedures so you can prepare everything before the deadline.
  • Don’t wait for the last day while filling online submissions, be through with it one or two days prior to it to avoid any server errors and documentation issues.
  • It is advisable to go through last year’s notices and arrange the documents listed beforehand. Sometimes colleges demand for the documents that you can’t even imagine, like the 11th results paper.
  • Keep the documents ready– both original and at least 10 photocopies each. The originals are submitted in the college so you need to keep a good amount of copies. If you want to be extra prepared, scan them beforehand and keep them ready to upload.
  • Anyone with categories like army wards, or any other quota you wanna avail needs specific documents as well.
  • Select course super carefully in round 2, sometimes students don’t give attention and select different courses rather than original. Once a student mistakenly selected BDS rather than MBBS and he has gone through the legal process from just this mistake.

• Don’t forget Anti Ragging Affidavit- This document give students a run while submitting as they don’t know about it, so make sure not to make this mistake.

• Don’t leave anything for the last day. The govt websites are prone to crashes so do asap until you don’t want to risk an year.
• Don’t take anxiety, tension or fear- It is a difficult process and it can take more than 2 days of going to the college and coming back with a document missing. So make sure to grab all documents and Get it all done asap with being calm.

Mistakes to avoid while NEET Counseling for Droppers or Repeaters

• Along with all required documents Droppers and repeaters need to submit a gap year certificate as there is gap in their 12th results and NEET process.

All these formats are available on college websites when the counselling process is about to start and on google as well. Remember to get them all attested from gazette officers.

• Another thing for Droppers  to note is that  Character certificates expire after 6 months. So if you got one from your school, please check the date and get a new one.

Schools will not give gap certificates. They will not vouch for anything after your school years.

Then there is Character certificate,

Character certificates that can be availed from school but some colleges will not accept it. Character certificates certify your character in a duration of 6 months and if you haven’t been in school for more than a year, it may or may not be considered valid.

Simply google the format, copy it on a word document, fill in your names and get it printed. Then just get it attested. Much less hassle.
