Currently I am bsc 1st year student and before I completed my 12th in 2022 and I dropped 2 years in neet and then in 2024 I took admission in bsc college and I was preparing for neet again I have not given college exam and now in 2025 i cleared neet then how should I make Gap certificate
If you dropped out after 12th in 2022, started BSc in 2024 but did not attend exams, and then cleared NEET in 2025 while enrolled in college, you need a gap certificate to explain this break in your education for NEET counselling.
How to prepare one:
-
Draft a sworn affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper stating your name, date of birth, academic history, period of gap (2022–2024), and that you were preparing for NEET during this time.
-
Attach supporting documents like your 12th marksheet, BSc admission proof, and any coaching enrollment proof to validate your explanation ( Careers360 Medicine , Shiksha ).
Get the document attested by a notary public—they will verify your affidavit and stamp it as valid ( Careers360 Medicine , PW Live (https://www.pw.live/) ).
Submit this notarized gap certificate during NEET counselling along with other required documents ( Shiksha , Getmyuni ).
A gap certificate is an affidavit stating the years you took off from studies and the reason. You can get it from a notary by providing:
- Aadhar card
- Educational certificates
- Statement explaining the gap (NEET preparation in your case)
The affidavit should mention you were not involved in any unlawful activities during the gap. This certificate will be submitted during NEET counselling for admission verification.
All the best for your MBBS journey !
Hello,
After years of dropping out and temporarily enrolling in a BSc degree, the procedure of creating a gap certificate for Neet counselling is simple. In essence, this certificate is a self declared affidavit explaining the cause for the lapse in your academic chronology on non judicial stamp paper notarized by Notary public.
Note: a typical notarized affidavit is widely recognised, while various institutions and Universities may have their own unique structure. Checking the counselling authority's information bulletin for any special criteria is usually a smart idea.
