Candidates who join and later wish to cancel their admission may submit a cancellation application on or before the same deadline, after which the concerned institution will process the cancellation on the admission portal. Admission granted through the provisional list remains subject to verification, and can be cancelled if any submitted information or document is later found to be false or invalid.
