Colleges can deny the admission under some specific situations only i.e. mismatch in secured & maximum marks, reservation category details, weightage details & complete mismatch of student’s details etc. In such cases, college has to verify their certificates meticulously and rectify the error and submit the application online. These applications will be taken as a fresh application in the subsequent rounds of selection, irrespective of marks the candidate has secured.
