No, a university enrollment stamp alone is usually not accepted as official proof for an academic gap.

You typically need formal documents that clearly explain the gap and confirm your status, such as:

- Gap Certificate (Affidavit): A notarized statement on non-judicial stamp paper explaining the reason for your gap.
- Bonafide Certificate: Issued by your institution, confirming your enrollment and study duration.
- Enrollment Letter: An official letter from your institution confirming your status during the gap.
- Transcripts: Academic records showing continuous enrollment.

If you need help obtaining the right documents, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
