Questions to ask the college office

Does upward movement change the reporting college today?
Which photocopies must be self-attested?
Is DigiLocker accepted if the original is delayed?
What happens if TC arrives after the undertaking deadline?
Whom do we email if the portal and counter disagree?

Sample scenario walkthrough

A district-town family arrives with allotment printout but a late TC. Right move: ask for written undertaking format, get school dispatch proof, refuse unofficial “TC agents”, photograph every signed page, and update one shared note with pending deadlines.

Student mental health and family calm

Keep phones away during dinner. One family spokesperson handles rumours so the student is not answering twenty relatives. Praise effort, not only rank.
