[Guest]

I am a student of M.Sc 1st Semester. I forgot to submit the CSIR copy of bank challan along with the hard copy of NET application form. I am in doubt that my form will be rejected. I will send the CSIR copy but it will take 2 to 3 days to reach New Delhi as I live in Kolkata, West Bengal. What should I do now? I have mentioned the journal number, bank branch code in my application form. My application number is 12D664633.
