subjected to the applicable regulations from time to time. I also understand that admission is allowed to me based on the
certificates and documents produced by me. I also undertake that the certificates and documents produced by me in
original are correct, genuine, and true to the best of my knowledge. If any information/ documents/ particulars are found to
be forged or false at any stage in future, then the NIT Delhi can cancel my admission and all the fees deposited by me shall
be forfeited. If any degree is awarded based on my admission on the basis on my forged documents, then that
certificate/degree awarded by NIT Delhi shall be automatically cancelled. In such case, I shall have no claim, whatsoever, in
respect of my admission.
