What Should Candidates Check on the Claim Slip?

Candidates should compare the information on the claim slip with their original application and supporting documents.

Important details to check include:

• Candidate's name
• Date of birth
• Photograph
• Category and reservation details
• Income-related claims, where applicable
• Domicile information
• Language eligibility, where applicable
• Qualifying examination details
• Degree and branch information
• PGCET rank/details, if displayed

Any discrepancy should be brought to KEA's attention through the official correction or grievance mechanism. Candidates should not wait until option entry or seat allotment to identify an important discrepancy.

What Happens After the Claim Slip?

The claim slip is one stage of the broader PGCET counselling process. Candidates who are eligible for the next stage will have to participate in the activities announced by KEA. The counselling process can include option entry, seat allotment and admission-related reporting or confirmation, depending on the course and applicable KEA schedule. Candidates should rely on the latest official KEA notification for the exact dates rather than assuming that the next activity will begin immediately after the claim-slip release.
