The facility also allows certain candidates to fix errors — particularly those rejected in earlier rounds due to incorrect subject mapping, failing to meet programme-specific eligibility, or uploading invalid documents.
Candidates who did not receive any seat in the first two rounds can also make changes during this period. The admissions branch has cautioned that the third round of allocations, due next week, will be based strictly on data available at the August 10 deadline.
'Minimum marks and ranks in the third round may not match those of earlier rounds, and no grievances will be entertained,' the university stated.

'Hired, paid… and fired in 3 months': Startup founder's viral post on employee who faked it all

Building a startup is no easy feat, and hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake. Arshia Kaur, founder of beauty brand Tint Cosmetics, has gone viral on Instagram after sharing a shocking hiring experience that left her out of time, money and trust. In a series of videos, Kaur recounted how her company hired a 'perfect-on-paper' candidate for the Head of Marketing role in November 2024. The applicant seemed ideal-- claiming experience in scaling brands, managing e-commerce, running ad campaigns, and driving growth. He even walked the team through what appeared to be the backend of his previous work. 'He looked amazing on paper… everything seemed extremely legit,' Kaur said. But within weeks of joining, things began to unravel. The new hire struggled to communicate with the team or management, failed to deliver on assigned tasks, and offloaded work onto other employees-- including Kaur herself. Despite multiple discussions and warnings, there was no improvement. He was fired just two and a half months into the job. The real shock came later. Curious about the mismatch between his alleged past achievements and his current performance, Kaur rechecked his documents-- and realised the entire CV had been fabricated. His salary slips were forged on Microsoft Excel, complete with impossible details such as '31 working days' in a month. There was no company stamp or signature. 'It was all fake. We got completely duped,' Kaur said, showing screenshots in her Instagram post. The entrepreneur said the incident was a hard lesson in hiring diligence. 'When you're bootstrapped, every single penny matters -- it's hard-earned money. Please double-check every document before hiring. Founders, it's your right to have the correct information about anyone you bring into your company,' she advised. Her story has since sparked debate among small business owners and job seekers alike, with many calling it a wake-up call for stricter background checks in the hiring process.

Indian founder's hiring horror story: Why she fired employee in less than 3 months

The founder of Tint Cosmetics has opened up about the many challenges of running a startup, not the least of which is employees out to scam the company. Arshia Kaur shared a hiring horror story in Instagram videos that have gone viral online. Arshia Kaur, founder of Tint Cosmetics, shares her hiring horror story Kaur revealed that her startup hired a person for the Head of Marketing position who looked 'amazing' on paper, but failed to deliver on every task assigned to him. Eventually, the company had to fire him in less than three months – and it was only later that they realised that this person had faked his entire CV and generated fake salary slips to land the job. How the hiring happened 'So back in November 2024, we wanted to hire somebody for the head of marketing position,' Kaur said. 'Someone who could manage scale, growth, e-commerce, performance, ads, everything.' One person approached the startup and Kaur said he looked 'amazing' on paper. 'He walked us through his previous work. All the growth he had done for his previous company and everything looked extremely legit because we actually saw the backend,' said Kaur. The company ended up hiring him but Kaur said that within a month, 'something felt off'. The head of marketing could not communicate with the team or the management, while all his tasks were given to other team members or landed on the founder's to-do tray because he was just not able to do them. After multiple discussions and warnings, the employee was fired — just two and a half months after he had joined. Fake salary slips Kaur began to wonder how the person had supposedly done such amazing work for other brands but not even managed to pull 5% of that for her company. Eventually, she went back and checked his previous salary slips. That's when she realised she had been duped. The salary slips were all faked on Microsoft Excel. What gave them away? The fact that some slips said that this employee worked 31 out of 31 days – meaning he also worked on weekends. 'There was no stamp or signature of the company on the slips,' said Kaur, showing screenshots of the slips in her Instagram video. Founder's appeal Kaur said she learned her lesson the hard way and was sharing her story so others would not make the same mistake. She also asked fellow founders to double check everything before hiring someone. 'When you're bootstrapped, every single penny matters, it's shed earned money. you cannot pay people whatever they ask for - founders please don't do this, it's your right to have the correct information about anyone you've decided to hire!' she wrote.
