Document verification for candidates coming under special categories, such as Sports, NCC, and Defence, as well as from Clause ‘B’ to ‘Z’ in the CET application, will be conducted at the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) office in Bengaluru from May 5.

KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna stated that a link will be released on the KEA website within two days, allowing candidates to pre-book their preferred date and time for the verification process.

Earlier, document verification used to be done after the CET rank announcement. However, this time, the documents will be verified beforehand so that candidates can proceed with option entry immediately after the results are declared.

Around 10,000 candidates have applied under special categories and various clauses. All of them will be given the opportunity to submit documents for verification over a period of 10 days to establish eligibility. Candidates are advised to bring all original documents relevant to their claim for verification.

Candidates must attend the verification on the date and time they have booked in advance. Arrangements have been made to verify the documents of up to 1,000 candidates per day.

Re-verify after editing the application

Candidates who make corrections in their application after the verification must undergo the verification process again. Otherwise, their corrections or claims will not be considered valid, Mr. Prasanna warned.

The deadline for editing errors in the application is May 2. Over 16,000 candidates have already made corrections. All such candidates must visit their respective PU college or the nearest government PU college again to get their applications re-verified, he advised.
