The provisional common merit list is a tentative merit list, which contains the details of students such as their names, form numbers and marks. The list, which was released on Tuesday, contained details of students who had applied for Class 11 admissions at 40 government schools in Chandigarh.

Students were asked to apply for changes in their particulars, if any, on Wednesday. The department had allocated two schools — Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 35, and Government Girls Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 18, for the purpose.

An official on duty, requesting anonymity, said, “Only a few students approached us for minor changes such as change in category or spellings of their names.”
