💡 Expert Tip

IIT Kanpur processes applications based strictly on what you upload — there is no correction window after submission. Before hitting submit, verify three things: (1) Your experience certificate must be on the employer's official letterhead, mention specific dates of service, nature of duties, and carry the authority's signature with seal — generic HR letters are routinely rejected at document verification. (2) OBC candidates must ensure their NCL certificate is valid as on 03 July 2026, not just the date of issue — many applications get disqualified for expired OBC certificates. (3) If applying for multiple posts, each post requires a separate application and separate fee payment — the last application per post is considered valid, and earlier fees are forfeited with no refund.
