Have you ever heard of students being asked to submit a death certificate as one of the essential documents to procure admissions? It may sound weird, but it’s true.

Around 500 students didn’t take admission for Class XI in the colleges that they were allotted a pot in, citing the death of close relatives as the reason. Hence, the Centralised Admission Committee (CAC) has asked them to submit the death certificate today to check their claims, and only after receiving a copy of the certificates will CAC consider accommodating them in seats left vacant after last week’s admission procedure.
