How to Check HS Admission Merit List? Merit lists are prepared by colleges/schools based on HSLC/AHM performance. Follow these steps to check your status:
⚠️ Important: You must “Accept” the request online to proceed with offline admission. |
| 📱 Do Not Use Cyber Cafe Numbers When registering, always use your own mobile number or your parent’s mobile number. Cyber cafe operators sometimes use their own numbers, which means you will never receive crucial SMS alerts regarding your merit list status or admission deadlines. |
| 📊 Understand Cut-off Trends Before blindly choosing your 5 colleges, try to find out the cut-off percentages of those institutions from the previous year (2025). This will give you a realistic idea of your chances and help you arrange your preferences logically from most preferred to safest backup. |
| 🖼️ Image Compressors are Your Friend If your mobile camera takes high-resolution photos (3 MB or 4 MB), the portal will reject them. Search for “Free Online Image Compressor” on Google, upload your photo, compress it to under 1 MB, and then upload it to Darpan to avoid technical errors. |
| 💳 Verify Bank Details Early While the initial application doesn’t always require deep financial data, having a bank account in the student’s name is highly beneficial for future state scholarships like the Pragyan Bharati scheme. Ensure your name in the bank passbook matches your HSLC marksheet exactly. |
| Q1: Can I change my college preferences after submitting the Darpan application? Answer: No. Once you hit the final submit button, your choices are locked and immediately routed to the respective institutions. This is why you must review your 5 choices carefully before submission. |
| Q2: Is there any application fee for registering on the Darpan portal? Answer: Generally, the registration on the Darpan portal is free of cost. However, students must pay the actual admission and tuition fees (if applicable) directly to the college after accepting the admission offer. |
| Q3: What should I do if I forget my 4-digit Login PIN? Answer: Use the “Forgot PIN/Password” option on the login page. Enter your registered mobile number and DOB. An OTP will be sent to your phone to allow you to reset your PIN securely. |
| Q4: My name is on the waiting list. What are my chances? Answer: Chances are usually good. Many students block seats in multiple colleges but can only take admission in one. As they choose, waiting lists move quickly between April 25 and May 8. |
| Q5: Can I apply to more than 5 colleges by creating a second account? Answer: Absolutely not. The system tracks your unique HSLC Roll and Number. Attempting to create a duplicate account is a violation and may result in the cancellation of your entire application. |
