When should you correct a submitted APPGCET application form?


The application correction process is typically divided into two categories, referred to as 1 and 2. Category 1 corrections involve critical applicant information that cannot be corrected by the applicant themselves without obtaining consent from the examination authority.

On the other hand, category 2 corrections pertain to minor human errors or typos that may have occurred during the application submission process, and candidates can rectify them independently by visiting the official website.

Certain pieces of information, such as subject code, caste information, disability declaration (Physically handicapped), and examination center choice, cannot be corrected either by sending an email or using the correction window. The information entered by the candidate during the online application form submission is considered final, and no further edits can be made to these specific details

Presented below is a comprehensive guide outlining the appropriate instances to seek application form correction.

1. If there are discrepancies between your name, your father's name, or your date of birth as printed on the application form and your SSC certificate, it is necessary to apply for correction.

2. When uploading your photograph, it must be in JPG/JPEG format, with a file size of 50KB and dimensions of 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm. The photograph should have the candidate's name and the date of taking the photograph printed on it. It is important to note that wearing a cap or goggles is not permitted, though spectacles are allowed. The photograph should be clear and not blurry. If the photograph you have uploaded does not meet these criteria, you will need to request a correction.

3. Likewise, the scanned signature that you upload must adhere to specific guidelines. It should be in JPG/JPEG format, with a file size of 20 KB and dimensions of 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm. It is essential to ensure that your scanned signature remains consistent throughout the entire APPGCET admission process. If your scanned signature fails to meet these criteria, it is important to promptly apply for correction.

4. In the event of incorrect mention of your degree or diploma hall ticket number or community information in the application, it is advisable to apply for its correction.

5. The term "qualifying examination" refers to your degree or diploma, and it should be specified with the name of the branch you have studied, such as B.Sc, BE, B.Tech, or BA. Additionally, the year of passing or appearing for the mentioned exam should align with the one mentioned on your degree certificate. If there are any inconsistencies, it is necessary to apply for correction.

6. Many students often find themselves confused when distinguishing between the medium of the qualifying exam and the second language. The medium of the qualifying exam refers to the language in which they have completed their degree or diploma. For students from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, it is typically English, Telugu, or Urdu. While other languages, in addition to English, are considered for students from other regions. Similarly, before selecting the second language option, it is important to verify the details on your degree mark sheet. If any inaccuracies are found in the printed application form, it is advisable to proceed with the correction process.

7. Similarly, students often encounter confusion when dealing with the options of "place of study" and "local area." "Place of study" pertains to the location of the college or school where you completed your studies, and this information should be provided in the qualifying examination section.

8. On the other hand, the "local area" status requires you to indicate whether you are a resident of Andhra Pradesh or another state. If you are a local candidate from Andhra Pradesh, you should choose either Andhra University or Sri Venkateshwara University as your region of study. If you belong to another state, it is advised not to select any university region. If you have mistakenly entered incorrect details in these sections, please make sure to correct them accordingly.

9. If you fall under the special reservation category, such as being an NCC candidate, a child of an armed person (CAP), or a sports person with valid certifications, it is important to thoroughly verify whether these details have been correctly addressed in your application.

10. Lastly, if you have made any mistakes while entering your correspondence address, mother's name, Aadhaar card number, SSC hall ticket number, or annual income of parents, it is crucial to rectify these errors and ensure the accurate information is provided.

Although these details are not verified at the examination centers, it is important to understand that attempting to deceive the exam authority with false information is not permissible. It is mandatory to furnish the necessary proof for all the details mentioned in the application form during the counseling process; failure to do so may result in denial of admission.


What are Category-1 corrections in APPGCET application form?


The applicant's crucial details mentioned in the list below can only be amended with the consent of the relevant authority. Candidates are required to send a written request via email to the Convener of the APPGCET exam to rectify their information.

What are Category-2 corrections in APPGCET application form?


Unlike Category-1 errors, which are considered major mistakes made by candidates while filling out the online application form, these errors are minor in nature. However, candidates have the opportunity to correct the inaccurately provided information by visiting the official website of APPGCET. 

A dedicated feature called the correction window allows candidates to rectify their application errors without the need to submit scanned certificate copies for verification or seek approval from the examination authority. These errors can be self-corrected. 

Nevertheless, it is important to note that there is a specific time limit for editing the submitted application through the correction window. For the year 2023, the correction window option is available for only two days, specifically on May 27th and 28th.

 If the necessary corrections are not made within the specified time frame, it will not be possible to rectify the wrong entries.

However, these corrections will be verified during web-counselling as part of the admission process. On the other hand, a limitation of Category-2 corrections is that the correction window only permits modifications to a limited number of details.
