- OBC Certificate NC Status: Many candidates (over 25) were marked "Provisional" due to OBC certificate NC (Non-Creamy Layer) status verification being pending.
- Educational Qualification Mismatch (EQ Mismatch): Some candidates were found ineligible because their degree was not in the required field (e.g., B.Tech in Agriculture Engineering instead of B.Sc. with Chemistry).
- Missing Documents: Several candidates were marked "Provisional" due to missing documents such as all semester marksheets, Annexure X(A) from CGCE, or caste certificates.
- EWS Certificate Format Issues: A few candidates were marked "Provisional" because their EWS certificate was not in the prescribed format or was issued beyond the cut-off date.
