Several engineering aspirants are running from pillar to post to get their domicile certificates to confirm their applications before the Tuesday deadline. Students and parents are shelling out large amounts of money to expedite procuring the certificates using agents. If they fail to get the certificates before the deadline, some students might be left out of the process.
A student said one of her friends had paid an agent Rs 8,000 to get her certificate before Saturday. "What about those who do not have the money to pay agents?" she asked.
Students said that officials at the application receipt centres (ARCs) have been asking those without domicile certificates to apply under the all-India quota. "We have been told not to mention the state CET scores but to go with scores obtained in the all India JEE (Main). When we are eligible for seats in the state, why should we apply under the all-India quota?" asked a student.
A parent said, "The ARCs are refusing to accept a copy of the receipt received when we applied for the domicile certificate. We have been residents in the state for more than 15 years. We will definitely submit the certificates, but what do we do if we don't get it in time?"
Officials from the Directorate of Technical Education said students were aware of the process. "They should have acquired all certificates before time. The domicile certificate is an essential document for state engineering admissions. We have already extended application dates. Tuesday is the final date to confirm them," said the official.
Deadline for online form changes 5pm today
Class X passouts from boards applying to junior colleges through the online admission process have time till 5pm on Monday to make changes to online forms. "Colleges with seats in the minority quota will have to surrender vacant seats for the online admission process on June 18 by 5pm," said an senior official at the education department.
