Please note this carefully. In the scanned notice the as-on date is printed as “31st Novemb… 2026”, and the month word is cut off at the edge of the photo. November has only 30 days, so the date as printed cannot be right. We are showing it exactly as printed and are not correcting it ourselves. Ask the Principal’s office which date is meant before you rely on your age. The notice does not mention any age relaxation. Your date of birth is proved with the Madhyamik or equivalent certificate.
