Hello everyone,

I am currently in the final semester of BA LLB at IP University, and my final examinations are scheduled for next week. While filling out the CSAS application form, I came across the document upload section asking for:

“Undertaking of fulfilling the Minimum Eligibility Criteria / Copy of Provisional Marksheet or Degree.”

Since my final semester exams are yet to be conducted, I do not have a provisional degree or final marksheet at the moment.

Could someone please clarify what final semester students are expected to upload in this section? Is submitting only the undertaking sufficient, and is there any prescribed format for it?

I would appreciate guidance from anyone who has faced a similar situation. Thank you.

I saw a reel by @nutrition.by.fizz that said:

“Society is so doomed that when a girl gets diagnosed with PMOS, the first concern is whether she’ll be able to conceive someday instead of worrying about her health.”

And honestly that line stayed with me because it’s so true.

I was just 14 or 15 when I got diagnosed with PCOS. A literal kid. I was scared, confused, insecure about my body, and had no clue what any of it even meant. But instead of properly explaining the condition to me, all I got from multiple gynaecologists was:

“Lose weight.”

“Take birth control pills.”

That was it.

No one explained insulin resistance.

No one explained how PCOS itself can cause weight gain.

No one cared about the mental health aspect.

No one talked about long term risks.

No one even tried understanding how overwhelming it is for a teenage girl to suddenly feel like her body is “abnormal.”

Just pills and blame.

In my case, those pills messed me up badly and I genuinely regret taking them. Physically, mentally, emotionally everything felt worse. Yet every new gynaecologist kept pushing the same thing again and again like there’s no other possible approach to PCOS management.

Now at 23 I literally fear going to gynaecologists.

Recently one of my friends got diagnosed too, and her doctor immediately prescribed birth control pills as well. Thankfully she already knew about my experience and decided to first work on her lifestyle, stress, nutrition, sleep, movement, and overall health before blindly jumping into medication.

What scares me is how many young girls don’t even realize they have a choice. They trust doctors completely because they’re children, and end up taking medications without truly understanding what they’re being given or why.

And before people start twisting this, I’m not saying medication should never be used. Some women genuinely benefit from it. But the way PCOS gets treated in so many places feels incredibly lazy and dismissive. It’s like doctors only care about making periods look “normal” on paper or preserving fertility for some future husband and baby instead of caring about the actual girl sitting in front of them right now.

Women are human beings before they are potential mothers.

TL;DR: Got diagnosed with PCOS and was only told to lose weight + take birth control pills. No proper education, no real support, and the pills affected me badly. I’m tired of how casually teenage girls with PCOS are dismissed instead of actually being helped.
