Answer laterI have recently lost my Convocation certificate while traveling, I have applied with the college for duplicate. Can I get it at the earlie
Hello Sandeep,
It is not a big trouble if you have lost your convocation certificate. You simply need to complete some formalities at your college(if they believe in formalities) and then by charging with some extra amount (if applicable), they will provide you with another certificate but it takes time of about 7-10 days in general but different colleges have different processing time, you could get it very soon.
Hope it helped you..
How many companies tie up this college
It's TRUE more than 250 companies tie up this college pls I req don't play this it's my future i ask once again i will study this university i definitely got job in campus interviews
I belongs to oc Muslim minority I got 293 in neet marks can i get management seat quota in karnataka or Kerala with low fees below 5 lakhs
Hello Syeda,
The marks you have scored are pretty low to get a government qouta medical seat. Even with reservations, it is pretty difficult for you to get a medical seat. If you are willing to wait and take chances, you might get a medicak seat worth 7 lakhs or so in the later rounds of counseling. You still can try for other courses like BDS.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
All the best
