Hello,

A gap certificate is an affidavit, and is a self-declaration form that can be represented as evidence or proof, which declares that a person has taken a breach for a year or more during his/her academic years.This declaration is given in a non-judicial stamp paper in which the time-duration and cause for taking the gap are mentioned. This paper should be signed by the concerned judicial of the court.

Documents required while applying :

• ID Proof (PAN Card/Aadhar card/Voter ID/Driving license)
• School/College leaving certificate
• A letter from the last educational institute (Authentication declaration)
• Residential address proof
• Citizenship proof
• Marksheet of last qualifying exam
• The reason behind the Gap

How to apply for GAP certificate :

Firstly, you need to reachout to your district court or contact any lawyer/advocate. A legal affidavit will be issued by the court which will be considered as proof for the reason for which you have taken a gap in education years. After getting the gap certificate in a stamp paper you will have to submit it with the supporting documents in the college or university where you are applying for admission. You will need documents mentioned below :

• Mark-sheet
• Transfer Certificate
• Certificate of previously acquired degree
• Identity proof
• Birth certificate

I hope this helps.
