Laminated certificates are generally accepted during NEET counselling if they are clear and readable. Carry attested photocopies and a self-declaration stating that the originals are laminated. It won’t cause disqualification, but you can also confirm with the counselling helpline for your peace of mind.

Hello,

Yes, you can go to the NEET counselling centre with the laminated certificates. Usually, laminated certificates are accepted if the details are clearly visible and not damaged.

However, if the officials at the centre say they need non laminated or original unlaminated documents, politely explain that your original certificates were laminated to protect them and cannot be removed without damage. In most cases, they will accept them after verification.

You can also carry:

• A photocopy of the laminated certificate

• A self attested copy

• An affidavit (if required) stating it's your original certificate

Don’t worry too much. Just stay calm and explain your situation clearly. Most students face this issue, and it's usually handled smoothly.

Hope it helps 1
