Name as given in the Matriculation certificate
Quoted from the notice:Sl. No. 2:- Fill your name exactly as given in the Matriculation (10th Class) Certificate.
Annexure, OTR instructions, item (c), page 60
Receiving field: Name as per Matriculation Certificate
Accepted credential: matriculation-certificate
The notice anchors this value to the Class X record, so the prototype refuses the current legal profile name for this question.Not covered: The same notice provides for a post-Matriculation name change at Sl. No. 3a and 3b, page 60. The prototype does not model that bridging route, so a changed name would need review rather than an automatic answer.Date of Birth as recorded in the Matriculation certificate
Quoted from the notice:Date of Birth filled by the candidate in the online application form and the same recorded in the Matriculation/Secondary Examination Certificate will be accepted by the Commission for determining the age and no subsequent request for change will be considered or granted.
Clause 5.3, page 8
Receiving field: Date of birth as per Matriculation Certificate
Accepted credential: matriculation-certificate
The clause names the authoritative record, so a self-declared date is not accepted for this field.Not covered: The clause also forecloses later correction. The prototype does not model a correction or grievance route.Matriculation year of passing
Quoted from the notice:Sl. No. 8 to Sl. No. 10:- Details of Matriculation (10th Class) Examination which includes: (i) Name of Education Board (ii) Roll Number (iii) Year of passing
Annexure, OTR instructions, item (i), pages 60 to 61
Receiving field: Year of passing as per Matriculation Certificate
Accepted credential: matriculation-certificate
The Class XII certificate also records a passing year. This policy accepts only the Matriculation schema, so the wrong certificate cannot answer this question.Not covered: The board name is held in the credential but has no receiving-field policy yet. The roll number is listed separately below.Matriculation roll number
Quoted from the notice:Sl. No. 8 to Sl. No. 10:- Details of Matriculation (10th Class) Examination which includes: (i) Name of Education Board (ii) Roll Number (iii) Year of passing
Annexure, OTR instructions, item (i), pages 60 to 61
Present address and permanent address
Quoted from the notice:Sl. No. 6 - 7: Provide information about your Permanent and Present Address.
Annexure, OTR instructions, item (x), page 61
Receiving fields: Correspondence address · Permanent residential address
Accepted credential: citizen-profile-record
The notice asks for two separate addresses at two separate serial numbers, so the prototype keeps a separate policy for each instead of repeating one value.Not covered: The notice does not define the distinction, does not use the phrase “correspondence address”, and states no evidence rule for either address. Treating the present address as a correspondence address is the prototype's own modelling choice, not a requirement of this notice.Educational qualification
Quoted from the notice:8. Essential Educational Qualifications (As on 01.08.2026): … Bachelor's Degree from a recognized University or Institute.
Clause 8, page 14, and Annexure item (j), page 61
Receiving fields: Qualifying degree · Degree specialisation
Accepted credential: graduation-certificate
The prototype treats the degree and its specialisation as separately sourced facts from the Graduation credential.Not covered: The notice sets a qualification cut-off date of 01.08.2026 and elsewhere allows for equivalence. The prototype models neither a cut-off date nor qualification equivalence.Father's name and mother's name
Quoted from the notice:The candidates must write their name, date of birth, father's name and mother's name strictly as given in the matriculation certificate otherwise their candidature may be cancelled at the time of Document Verification.
Clause bullet (m), page 51
