  • All original documents like educational certificates, caste/category certificates, etc., must be produced during this stage.

Important Notes:

  • The CBT performance is the primary factor for merit ranking.
  • PET/PMT is qualifying in nature and does not contribute to the final score.
  • Document Verification is mandatory, and failing to provide valid documents leads to disqualification.
