If you did your 12th from Punjab, you're usually eligible for the Punjab quota even if you don't have a separate domicile certificate.I'd just select “No” for the domicile certificate if you don't have one and continue filling the form. In most cases, your Punjab school documents are enough.

Yes, you're eligible to apply to LM Thapar School of Management with 42 percentile in CAT 👍

They don't have a very high cutoff like IIMs. Selection is based on:

• Entrance score (CAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT, etc.)
• Academic background
• GD/PI performance

That said, 42 percentile is on the lower side, so your GD/PI and overall profile will matter a lot.

Simple take:
You can apply, but prepare well for the interview to improve your chances 👍

No, you don't have to pay the full fee again for the 2nd cutoff at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.

Here's how it works:

• You pay once when you accept a seat in the first round
• In later rounds (like 2nd cutoff), if you get upgraded to a better branch, your seat is automatically adjusted
• You may just need to pay a difference (if any) — not the full amount again

So no double payment — just adjustments 👍

For Mode 2 (board merit) at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the process is simple:

You apply through the same online admission form, and while filling it you select the 12th PCM merit category. Then:

• Upload your 12th marks (PCM)

• Register for counselling

• Seats are allotted based on your PCM % (JEE used only as tiebreaker)

For CSE (rough idea):

• Safe zone: 95–97%+ in PCM

• 93–95% → borderline (depends on year & competition)

CSE is the most competitive, so higher % gives you better chances 👍
