Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Stay vigilant about every KNRUHS notification. Bookmark the university site.
- Prepare your documents beforehand. Even a minor error in certificates can cost you your seat.
- While filling web options, avoid listing colleges you’re unwilling to join. Be honest with your priorities.
- Double-check your reservation documents. If not validated by designated officials, you’ll be treated as OC.
- Stay updated on fee structures, especially if considering private institutions within the quota.
- Don’t rush. Understand seat conversion rules—sliding can lead to a loss of previous seats if not reported properly.
