If you're applying for PGI Chandigarh (INICET), and want rural area quota benefits, you need an official Rural Service Certificate. It must match the format in Annexure-IV of the INICET prospectus and should be signed by the DM (District Magistrate). You need to have served 2+ years in a government-recognized rural area. Apply via your state's e-district portal, attach documents like service proof, voter card, and submit. DM's stamp = your golden ticket.
