Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I register after the last date?
Unless the date for registration has been extended a candidate cannot register, as the e-pass portal will not allow them to register.
How much reimbursement will I get?
The reimbursement of tuition will be dependent on the course a candidate pursues. While most of the courses are eligible for 100% of the tuition fee as fixed by the government, self-financed courses are eligible only for a maximum of INR 20,000 or the actual fee charged by the college, whichever is less.
Is there a separate format for the income certificate?
The income certificate is issued to a student based on an income affidavit given as a declaration by the student. Wrongful declaration of income may lead to criminal prosecution as per the law. Candidates need to ensure that they get a certificate of income from the concerned Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) with his employee code and stamp which is affixed clearly. All incomplete certificates will be summarily rejected.
