Start with the official notice
Check the department’s website or your district administration office for enrolment schedules and centre information.
Bring original records
Take the identity and civil-registration documents requested in the current notice. Names and dates should match; ask the office how to correct a mismatch.
After enrolment
Keep the acknowledgement or reference details issued by the centre. Use the department’s published channels to ask about status or corrections.
