I apologise for bad writing.

Basically I was born in Pakistan and migrated to India when I was little,
I don’t have Indian Passport nor can get one soon. And I got to know that they are asking for Indian Passport at the time of joining. I have HR round tomorrow. I have cleared two Tech rounds, Now I have two options:

1. I explain my situation to the HR directly at the end of the interview tomorrow and ask whether I can submit any alternate documents( I do have all the others ).

I risk getting rejected this way but I will be able to participate in further campus drives.

2. Accept offer and deal with the situation at the time of joinng. Idk how I would deal with this. Maybe it is just a trivial requirement and so I use some photoshop skills then. Or I can submit some alternative documents but without disclosing as in option 1. Disclosing my past might lead to unnecessary complications and rejection.

But if i accept this offer now, I will not be allowed for further campus drives(college policy)

I am confused and if I can get some info in regard to the process of passport submission/showing at the time of joining. How does the process look like. Do we have to show hardcopy, is it cross verified. How mandatory is it.

This is one last major company that I am eligible for and so my options are limited but if I accept the offer here and am unable to sit for further drives I risk getting offer revoked down the line at the time of joining.

The role is for product based one(not the service based division) and therefore the ctc is above par. That’s why I am overthinking here.

Any thoughts are commended.

when i had got selected for TCS( I didn’t join) they made me fill a form that required KYC docs including passport. Its standard practice among MNC’s

If document is the issue join a startup or a small company where they just ask educational docs, pan card and aadhar

but then again just ask them what all docs are required directly from them or some employee on linkedin
