Hi

No, wrong code cannot be the reason for application form rejection.

One important thing to note down is that your code h as nothing to do with your eligibility. What all matters is your class 12th qualification i. e to be eligible you must have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology /biotechnology in 12th examination  if belongs to general category , or   at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category.

The qualification code during form filling is just to know your current status:-

* whether you are 12th appearing

*already passed

*type of board i. e 10+2/higher /senior secondary/ Indian School Certificate Examination or intermediate / pre- degree examination

* if you are doing any course is it  bsc with PCB or any other

*or after 12th you have even passed your bsc.

*have studied from a foreign board.

Anyway,

If you have selected wrong code, you should correct it using correction window
