Clear next steps (do this in order)

- Read TFC date/centre if shown
- Carry originals + copies
- Pay only official fee
- Get stamped proof
- Watch dashboard for later allotment change
Documents, fees and proof
- Portal login email and password written down
- Allotment / rank / registration acknowledgement PDF
- 10th, 12th, TC (if joining), community/nativity if claimed
- Fee proof if any payment was already made
Mistakes that confuse families
- Thinking upward is automatic without reporting
- Mixing TFC with college joining of a friend
- Paying UPI to an unknown “coordinator”
Simple FAQ
If upward fails, do I keep the current seat?
