What actually goes wrong
Admission season is a queue, not a decision
Most parents apply to four or five schools in the same fortnight. One assembled pack you send five times beats rebuilding the folder each evening.
Check what the school actually keeps
Schools hold copies of a child's identity documents for years. Send the pages they've asked for, not the whole Aadhaar PDF with the QR data page attached.

India School Admission Pack questions
Do I need the transfer certificate for nursery?
No. A first-time entrant has nothing to transfer from. It becomes essential from class 1 onward, and boards ask for it at registration.
