We will reach out to you through - whatsapp, email and sms. Kindly look out for communication from our side on this.

ERROR CORRECTION FORM
If you wish to make any of the following corrections 1) Name 2)DOB 3) Email 4) Phone Number 5) Exam city 6) Category to the application form, kindly fill the attached form. bit.ly/error_correction

CANDIDATES OUTSIDE INDIA
We have sent an email to candidates outside India 2 days ago. We are unable to arrange for centres outside India in a manner satisfactory to us and hence will be unable to accommodate for this qualifier.
We are trying in Singapore and UAE/Dubai alone this time - which too we can confirm only next week.
So options are: (a) If you are planning to come to India and write as you have registered with cities in India - pls go ahead ,
(b)else cancel and take a refund and wait for the next qualifier by when we should have worked out the logistics.

CANCELLATION
We also find that some candidates have mistaken this form as being the one to apply for Direct Entry to Diploma. You can use the attached link to apply for a cancellation and take a refund. It will be 30 September by when we would be able to close the process for refunds. bit.ly/IITMrefund_form
DOCUMENT VERIFICATION:
- We are verifying the photo, signature and ID card for all candidates and validating against their name and DOB. If any of this is blurred, very small, incorrect, corrupted while uploading we are asking for reupload.
- SC/ST/PwD - if found invalid or blurred or having a name mismatch, etc - we are asking for a reupload. If the document still is not approved by us, we will give you time to remit the waived fee of Rs 1500 upon which your application will be accepted in General category, else we will cancel the application and refund.
- OBC-NCL: Certificates such as BC/OBC or any other are not valid for this category. Only OBC-NCL certificates should be submitted. If not approved by us and if the reuploaded documents are also not approved, we will NOT REJECT the application but just change the category to General and not provide the marks waiver.
- EWS - this is a subset of the General category. Only EWS certificates should be submitted. If not approved by us and if the reuploaded documents are also not approved, we will NOT REJECT the application but just change the category to General and not provide the marks waiver.
The last date will be next week as we are also still validating the last batch of new applications and reuploaded documents. Please login and check the status on the form to see if you get ""Approved"" status.
