What happens if documents are not produced?
Candidates must possess valid documents in accordance with the prescribed standards. Failure to produce valid documents at the time of verification may result in the immediate cancellation of their candidature.
Furthermore, if any fraud or forged documents are detected, the candidate's candidature will be cancelled. Criminal proceedings may also be initiated in such cases.

After assessing the circumstances, the Nodal Officer may decide to schedule the candidate for an alternative date or the reserve day.
