In an effort to monitor operations and accelerate the processing timelines, KEA Admin Officer Islavuddin Gadyal personally took charge of the verification counter. He sat at the desk to personally review candidate records, inspect original NCC performance logs, and verify certificates submitted by applicants. His presence aimed to identify and rectify systemic bottlenecks, ensure data accuracy, and set a standard for on-desk verification compliance.

Rigid Scrutiny for the NCC Quota

Because UGCET special category seats are highly competitive, KEA implements a rigid multi-tier validation workflow and only students who declared and saved NCC category during the UGCET 2026 online registration window were allowed to present the documentation. Candidates had to submit their physical UGCET hall ticket, and had to fill application data, and original NCC certificates signed by authorized Directorate officials indicating their designated camp/achievement level. 

Prior to the camp, KEA reiterated that candidates who failed to report or present validated records on designated date will forfeit eligibility under the NCC reservation pool, converting their status to general merit rank stream.

The verification of NCC documents sits parallel to the overarching UGCET 2026 offline document verification timeline, which is currently running and will end on May 22, 2026, for regular eligibility clauses.
