Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration

• Using unofficial websites. Applications submitted through any portal other than the NTA website are not accepted.
• Mismatched details. A different name, date of birth, or father’s name from your Class 10 records can lead to rejection or trouble later in admission.
• Wrong category selection. Choose your category carefully, because it affects both the fee and reservation benefits.
• Poor quality uploads. Blurry photographs, unclear signatures, or files outside the size limit can stop your upload.
• Incorrect contact details. NTA delivers crucial notifications to the email ID and mobile number you provide.
• Submitting multiple forms. Duplicate applications for one session can be rejected.
• Waiting for the last day. Heavy traffic near the deadline can cause payment and upload failures.
