Why board documents matter
Government applications often use school certificates for date of birth, educational qualification and name verification. Small mismatches can create problems during document verification.
Candidates from open schooling, distance education or special boards should check recognition and equivalence requirements in the notification.
Fix mismatches before applying
If your name, parent name, date of birth or category differs across documents, start correction early. Last-minute correction is often difficult after admit card or document verification.
Keep scanned copies clear, properly cropped and within required file size. Many forms reject blurred or oversized documents.
