How can I apply for PGCET if my school from 1st to 5th standard has closed, and I only have the old study certificate issued when the school was still operational? Will the old study certificates be accepted?

The process of applying for PGCET (Post Graduate Common Entrance Test)  with a closed school from your 1st to 5th standard can vary depending on the specific PGCET exam you are applying for.

• First, identify the specific PGCET exam you are applying for. Different states or universities might conduct PGCETs with varying eligibility criteria.
  
  
• Locate the official website of the exam authority conducting the PGCET.
  
  
• Look for sections on "Eligibility" or "Documents Required." These sections should detail the mandatory documents and might mention any specific requirements regarding certificates from closed schools.
  
  
• In most cases, a study certificate issued by the school when it was operational should be considered valid proof of your education during that period.
  
  
• However, some PGCET authorities might request additional documentation to verify your studies.
  
  
  
• Reach out to the exam authority through their helpline number or email address mentioned on the official website.
  
  
• Explain your situation regarding the closed school and inquire if the old study certificate is sufficient.
  
  
• Ask if any additional documents are required to verify your early education.
  
  
  
• If you have a leaving certificate from the closed school, mentioning the duration of your attendance, present that as well.
  
  
• As a last resort, you can get a sworn affidavit notarized by a public notary, stating your attendance at the closed school from 1st to 5th grade.
  
  
• In some cases, authorities might accept verification from the education department or local government records if available for the closed school.
