What Are the Two Ways to Verify Documents?

MahaCET gives candidates two choices for document verification. Both options are acceptable and can be used for participating in the CAP. Candidates should select the method that is most convenient for them. E-Scrutiny Mode: In this mode, candidates upload their scanned documents online. The verification process happens remotely, and there is no need to go to a physical center. Physical Scrutiny Mode: Here, candidates must go to a designated center with their original documents. The verification is done in person during a scheduled time. Candidates who notice any mistakes after completing e-Scrutiny can make corrections by uploading them again online. For those using physical scrutiny, they need to bring all original certificates with them.
