1) Deadline strategy to avoid late fee
Complete application well before 24-03-2026 to avoid unnecessary late fee slabs. Last-day traffic and payment retries can cause avoidable stress.
| Last date type | Financial impact |
|---|---|
| Without late fee | Best and safest submission target |
| With late fee slabs | Extra cost and higher deadline pressure |
2) Hall ticket and exam-week checklist
- Check candidate name, photo, stream, date, and center details
- Keep two printed copies plus one backup digital copy
- Visit or map exam center route one day before exam
- Carry required ID and hall ticket only; avoid banned items
3) Answer key and objection workflow
- Review response sheet and compare with preliminary key quickly
- Submit objection before 25-05-2026 with proper academic reference
- Fee is Rs. 300 per question and refund applies only for valid objections
4) Immediate steps after result
- Create rank-aware shortlist by branch, category, and region
- Prepare document folder for verification
- Build initial option list in dream, realistic, and safe layers
5) Parent support checklist
- Track all deadlines in one shared calendar
- Keep originals and photocopies organized early
- Support travel planning for exam and verification visits
- Review counselling options jointly before final lock
