To ensure your application is successful, verify that your bank deposit slip is for exactly Rs. 800/- and clearly shows the PTC account number. Because the portal does not allow for resubmissions, ensure your HEC-recognized transcripts are scanned in high resolution (4K if possible) to maintain legibility.
