📑 MUJ Freshers 2026: Documents, Affidavits & Reporting Day Guide

One of the biggest concerns before reporting day is whether you've collected all the required documents and completed the necessary paperwork correctly. Every year, freshers have questions about Transfer Certificates, Passing Certificates, Gap Certificates, affidavits, SLCM access, and what actually happens on reporting day. To make things easier, here's a complete guide covering the most common doubts. --- 📌 Topics Covered • Complete document checklist • Reporting & orientation dates • Passing Certificate confusion • Transfer Certificate (TC) doubts • Gap Certificate requirements • Affidavits & notary work • SLCM portal & onboarding emails • Reporting day process • Useful links and resources --- 🔗 Useful Links Official MUJ Document Formats & Instructions https://jaipur.manipal.edu/induction-orientation-program.php#Documents-submitted Previous Year Documents Download Reference Folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bULA4aQxLJQilggHVMuqWctRlYnyCxjJ ⚠️ Use the folder only as a reference resource. Always follow the latest instructions shared through official MUJ communication. --- ✅ Quick Document Checklist Before travelling to campus, make sure you have the following: • Class X Marksheet & Passing Certificate (Self-attested photocopy) • Class XII Marksheet (Self-attested photocopy) • Class XII Passing Certificate (Self-attested photocopy) • Aadhaar Card (Self-attested photocopy) • Passport-size colour photographs • MET Rank Card • JEE Main Score Card • CLAT/CUET/MAT Score Card (if applicable) • Transfer Certificate (if available) • Character Certificate • Migration Certificate • Medical Fitness Certificate • Registration Form • Anti-Ragging Affidavit • Anti-Drug Affidavit • NRI Sponsorship Affidavit (if applicable) ⚠️ Carry original documents for verification even if you've already uploaded PDFs to the portal. --- 📅 Reporting & Orientation Dates According to the academic calendar, reporting and orientation for the 2026 batch are scheduled on: • 16 July 2026 • 17 July 2026 • 18 July 2026 Each student will receive an allotted reporting date and time slot through email. The email generally contains: • Reporting schedule • Required documents • Orientation instructions • SLCM onboarding details Based on previous years, these emails are usually sent around one week before orientation. The checklist above is intended to help you prepare in advance. The final document list will also be shared officially by MUJ through email. --- ❓ Passing Certificate Confusion Many students worry because they do not have a separate passing certificate. In many education boards, the Class XII marksheet itself serves as proof of passing. ✅ If your board never issued a separate passing certificate, that's usually completely normal. --- ❓ What If I Don't Have a Transfer Certificate? Not every school issues a Transfer Certificate after Class XII. If your school doesn't provide one: • Inform the verification team politely • Carry your Class XII Marksheet • Carry your Migration Certificate • Carry your Character/Conduct Certificate Many students have successfully completed verification without a separate TC when their school never issued one. Personal Note: I did not receive a Transfer Certificate from my school either, and it was accepted without any issues. --- ❓ Who Needs a Gap Certificate? A Gap Certificate is generally required only if you have taken a gap of more than one academic year after your previous qualification. Examples may include: • Double droppers • Students who took an extended break after Class XII • Students rejoining academics after a long gap If applicable: • Print it on the prescribed stamp paper • Get it notarized If you're unsure whether you need one, wait for the official reporting instructions or confirm with admissions. --- 📝 Affidavits & Notary Work Freshers are usually required to submit two affidavits. Anti-Ragging Affidavit • Required from both student and parent/guardian • No stamp paper required • Can be generated online and printed before reporting Anti-Drug Affidavit • Required from both student and parent/guardian • Must be on stamp paper • Must be notarized Approximate Cost • Anti-Drug Affidavit: ~₹50 • Gap Certificate: ~₹20 (if applicable) 🏫 Notary Available on Campus Unable to get the paperwork done beforehand? ✅ Notary services are generally available on campus during reporting and orientation. So if you're unsure or unable to get the affidavits prepared in advance, you can usually complete the process on campus as well. --- 💻 SLCM Portal & Student Email Many freshers worry because they haven't received their SLCM login details yet. Don't worry — this is completely normal. Information related to: • SLCM Portal access • Student Outlook email ID • Document uploads • Reporting instructions is typically shared through onboarding emails sent closer to the reporting and orientation dates. For now, simply keep your documents ready and keep an eye on your inbox. --- 🎓 What Happens on Reporting Day? The reporting process is usually straightforward: 1. Document verification 2. Verification of uploaded records 3. SLCM login and registration formalities 4. Academic registration confirmation For most students, first-semester subjects are already pre-listed, and university staff guide students through the remaining formalities. --- 📌 Final Notes • Self-attested simply means signing the photocopy before submission • Carry originals even if PDFs have already been uploaded • If your school doesn't issue a Transfer Certificate or your board doesn't provide a separate passing certificate, don't panic — these are common situations • Use the MUJStella reference folder only for preparation • Always follow the latest instructions received through official MUJ communication • Keep checking your inbox regularly during July for onboarding, reporting, and orientation updates Welcome to MUJ, and all the best for your reporting day! 🎓 --- — MUJStella
