herself/himself. If the signature is found to be fake at any time (during or after

addition to appropriate action as the University may deem fit.
25. Declaration by the Father/Mother/Guardian: This should be signed strictly
by the Father or Mother of the candidate, or by the Legal Guardian, if both the

found to be fake at any time (during or after completion of the course), the
discovery may lead to automatic cancellation of admission of her/his ward, if
granted/cancellation of the degree if awarded including appropriate action as
the University may deem fit.
General Instructions
Permanent address of the candidates shall be the base for considering hostel
accommodation. Candidates who require hostel accommodation will be required
to produce a residence or nativity certificate issued by a competent authority
at the time of admission, if granted. Therefore, candidates are advised to
furnish the correct permanent and present mailing address at the place
provided both in the Application Form. All communications will be sent to the
present mailing address only.

Use of mobile phones/or any electronic devices including calculators is strictly

prohibited in the test centre. The University cannot make any arrangements
for the custody of mobile phones outside the test hall.

Issue of Admit Passes:

a) The Admit Passes will be displayed in the University website

www.efluniversity.ac.in at least 10 days before the commencement of
entrance tests. They will be displayed programme-wise, centre-wise.
Applicants should download their Admit Pass. There will be no dispatch
of Admit Passes nor will duplicate Admit Passes be issued at the Test
Centre. The candidates will not be permitted to write the entrance test at
any other centre except at the centre mentioned in the Admit Pass.
b) It may be noted that all those who apply may sometimes be issued Admit
Passes without verifying whether or not they satisfy the eligibility criterion
for admission to a course. The eligibility will be finally verified at the time

8
 of final admission, if granted. The candidates are therefore advised to go
through the Prospectus 2011-12 carefully and make sure of their
eligibility before submitting their application forms. Despite this caution,
in case the candidates do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria and
still apply and appear for the entrance test, they will do so at their own
risk and cost. Mere issue of Admit Pass and allowing a candidate for
Entrance Test including interview will not entitle a candidate for any
claim on admission if s/he does not fulfill the required eligibility
conditions for admission as prescribed in the Prospectus 2011-12. If it is
found that a candidate does not fulfill the minimum eligibility
requirements, his/her candidature will not be considered for
admission and if the admission is granted, it shall be cancelled ipso
facto.

Filled in applications for all other programmes should be sent/submitted to the

Controller of Examinations, EFL University, Hyderabad - 500 007.
University will not be responsible for any postal delay. Candidates are
therefore, advised to apply well in time. For further details, visit our website:
