The release of a 4th merit list indicates that many candidates from previous lists either failed to report for document verification or had discrepancies in their submitted marks. If your name appears in this list, prioritize your document verification appointments immediately, as the department rarely provides extensions. Ensure your original 10th-grade certificates match the data entered during registration, as minor mismatches are the leading cause of rejection during the physical verification stage.
