You should pack your original ID along with a valid government-issued photo ID (like a driver’s licence, passport, PAN card, voter ID, or Aadhaar card). Your signature and photo on the ID should match your admit card. Remember, damaged or blurry IDs are not allowed.

  • What to Bring

You can bring your admit card, ID, and a basic ballpoint pen, these are permitted inside the exam hall. You should leave your phone, calculator, smart devices, and paper at home as these things are not allowed.

  • Test Center Tips

It is advisable to visit your assigned test centre a day before if possible. You should get familiar with the location, traffic, and travel time. It will definitely help to avoid last-minute hassles to reach the destination.

  • Security & Rules

Every candidate will go through the identity checks that will be happening at the entrance. You have to be patient and cooperate with the officials. Only registered candidates with valid ID can enter. Keep quiet and avoid causing any disruptions.

  • Test Hall Procedures
