A gap year between 11th and 12th usually doesn't cause issues during counseling if you provide valid reasons. However, some institutions might require a gap certificate as proof. Check specific guidelines of the counseling authority to ensure all documents are in order.

Hello there,

Yes, if there is a gap year between 11th and 12th, then a gap certificate may be required at the time of counseling . The gap certificate is a self-declared certificate stating the reasons for the academic gap. This certificate protects the candidate from rejection of his candidature during the entrance examinations.

To get a gap certificate, you have to fill an affidavit and submit it to the concerned authorities. After the affidavit is approved, you get a gap certificate.

To get a gap certificate, you need to provide the following information:

• Your address
• Which class did you pass from which school or college in which year?
• You did not take admission in any school or college due to any specific reason

BEST wishes !!
