Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Begin early and remain prepared- Don’t wait for the last day to register. Chances are that up PDFs or responding back to enquiries may cost you your seat.
- Track your emails 24×7- Verification problems or any queries will only come by post only. One single missed email means one single missed opportunity.
- Uploading clean original documents- Blurring or unclear files lead to rejection. Please ensure clear PDFs and proper naming of the PDFs as well.
- Check the reservation claims double- Every category (such as ES, GC, SGS) needs specific papers. A slight discrepancy — such as a spelling variation in the name on the Green Card — can invalidate your claim.
- NRIs, be document-ready- NRI seat claims are rigid. Embassy certificates, affidavits, proof of relationship — all need to be well-attested and uploaded within deadlines.
- Don’t hesitate to seek help- Radical Education‘s counseling experts can assist you in verifying documents, uploading files, or even grasping where you are in merit.
