| Step 2: Document Upload & Profile Lock | Upload all required educational, vocational, and experience documents. Lock profile via OTP after all entries are complete. |

Role of School Principal — Online Verification Guidelines
⇒ The principal must obtain a print of the applicant’s application profile and compare it with original documents brought by the applicant.
⇒ All semesters’ mark sheets must be checked — not just the first semester — to prevent incorrect Score Card generation (as was found in past sessions).
⇒ Verification must be done via OTP received on the school principal’s registered mobile number. Application is marked Accept/Reject on the portal.
⇒ On rejection, the applicant is automatically notified and their profile is unlocked for correction. Re-verification must be done before the final deadline.
⇒ Principals who perform careless or incorrect verifications will face disciplinary action. Verifying applicants with incomplete B.Ed., invalid institution documents, or missing qualification documents without original verification is strictly prohibited.
⇒ Scanned copies of all verified documents must be retained in the school office records for future reference.
⇒ Verification without original documents will NOT be carried out; principals must ensure original documents are presented before accepting on the portal.
Documents Required — For Profile Verification at School
