Hello,

No, not at all your gap your won't have any impact on the recruitment process, you take any top government exams such as SSC, UPSC, State PSCs, or even banking, as long as you fulfill the eligibility criteria, you are giving your best in terma of preparation of its various stages, you will surely qualify the exams, since compeition has increased so much in recent timea in all these exams, it's important you remain focused, dedicated and consistent, see you may be asked about your gap year, and you have to deal with the situation tactfully, if you had genuine reasons then put forth the same in front of board members, that's it, this isn't going to affect your recruitment process at all, just be confident, you have to understand one thing if you ever reached the interview panel of any of these exams, you have qualified the previous stages, and that itself is great accomplishment, and you just have to make the board member realize that you're the best candidate for the job by your conduct, you may have one year gap, but you can focus on other achievements of your life, such as completion of your graduation inspite of hurdles in life, or say if you're good in extracurricular activities etc, as I said you need to deal with the situation tactfully, you don't have to worry too much regarding this.

Hello aspirant ,

To apply for a gap certificate the candidate has to go to the district court or contact any lawyer/advocate.

A legal affidavit will be issued by the court which will be considered as proof for the reason for which the student has taken a gap in his/er education years.....

Gap certificate is nothing but a declaration of the reason for a gap he took on an Rs.100/- non-judicial stamp paper.....

Details and documents required to apply a Gap certificate

  • Name and age of the candidate
  • Father or mother or any Guardian name
  • Residential address
  • Highest qualification
  • Gap took a period of
  • Adhar card
  • Pan card
  • Reasons for the gap
  • A declaration that he/she was not in a part of illegal activities during the time of gap he took
  • A declaration that all the information that he declared in the gap certificate is true and should sign a signature
  • ID Proof (PAN Card/Aadhar card/Voter ID/Driving license)
  • School/College leaving certificate
  • A letter from the last educational institute (Authentication declaration)
  • Residential address proof
  • Citizenship proof

  • The reason behind the Gap

Hope this helps
