Common Issues and Their Solutions

I know you have a question like, “I applied for online registration a month ago, but I still haven’t received admission confirmation. What should I do?”

Wait a few more days until you receive a comment on your dashboard.

NIOS Document Verification in Progress” is a default message that appears after you’ve submitted your application fees. This simply means that your form is under review, and once verified, the status will change to “Admission Confirmed.”

Document verification in progress

This issue often occurs if the form is not completed or if there is a payment gateway error, even if the payment has been deducted. If your payment status shows “Consumed: Yes,” there’s no need to worry.

This issue often occurs if you have not uploaded the required document. If you see a “Document required” message on the portal, log in to your student dashboard and upload the documents. Once you upload the relevant document, your NIOS admission status will be confirmed.
