Hello Bhavya,
For the INICET November 2024 , they typically require an OBC-NCL certificate issued on or after April 1, 2024 . If you submit your old certificate from December 2023 , it may not be accepted because they have strict guidelines regarding the validity period of the OBC certificate.
Here’s what you can do:
-
Use a Provisional Certificate : If your new certificate is in process, some authorities allow you to submit a provisional certificate or a receipt showing that the certificate application is underway.
-
Contact the Authorities : Reach out to the AIIMS exam conducting body to explain your situation. They may guide you on any alternative documents you can submit temporarily.
-
Submit the Correct Certificate Later : If they allow, you might be able to submit the older certificate now and update your details with the valid certificate before the counseling or final admission process.
It's safer to confirm with AIIMS authorities to avoid any issues later.
