Key Points to Keep in Mind
It has also been observed on previous occasions that various mistakes are made by the candidates while applying for the Eligibility Certificate (EC). The following are suggested measures to avoid mistakes:-
- The applications should preferably be filled out by the candidate themselves and should ideally avoid a proxy for making applications for EC.
- The candidates are also advised to keep their documents handy before filling out the application for EC; it would be ideal if the entries to be made are verified vis-à-vis entries in the original documents.
- The candidates should provide their active mobile numbers so that alerts/deficiencies can reach them directly for rectification to obviate any delay in rectification. It may also be ensured that once the deficiency is conveyed, only the deficiency should be rectified by the respective candidate as expeditiously as possible to avoid a last-minute rush; and
- Candidates shall scrupulously check entries and ensure conformity with the details in the original documents to ensure quick processing/approval of applications if otherwise eligible.
Please note: Those who have already made an application for the EC are not required to apply again.

It’s just less than 24 hours to go, and today is the best day to complete your EC application. Missing this might also push back your FMGE plans, so recheck, submit, and have your Eligibility Certificate in hand.
