Sir I belong to obc ncl category, during feeling of the form I uploaded my caste certificate, recently I received a msg from NID admission cell that I need to upload verified caste certificate according to central government format,my certificate is ready but I don’t know where to upload the verified certificate, they haven’t gave any space at the NID website for the same,
can you please send me the screenshot of that message at [email protected] .
Hello sir,
Was curious to know about an outside the topic matter which is not what this website is designed to help me for..
But however i feel you must be among the insiders as you had already provided many aspirants with the much needed information which can’t be mistaken while getting admitted in institutions as such.
It is really important for me to know that ..does NID prefer students who has a impressive past educational records i.e. the board mark sheets of std 10 and 12 … Over the students who lack handsome grades/percentages ?
Is the ‘environment’ in the campus (take.. Ahmedabad’s branch) filled with Only studious, 90 above scoreing students?
I mean by this.. is the examinees who enroll our admission forms or suppose that even After we had got the admission.. are the authorities ‘inside’ there who train students are biased against the Low percentile or even Compartmental-candidates????… And then they ultimately prefer high scoreing students on multiple aspects?
Does the reputed design school runs the Same as any other field courses?
Would really like to hear from you,
Thanks..
