5. What to Check on the Admit Card (Very Important)

Before anything else, sit calmly and verify every detail:

  • Your name and photograph
  • Registration/Application number
  • Exam date and time
  • Reporting time (often earlier than exam start time)
  • Exam centre name and full address

If any of these details are incorrect, unclear, or mismatched, contact the recruitment authority immediately through details available on the official website.
A correction deadline is not mentioned in the official notice, so do not delay reporting issues.

6. Documents to Carry on Exam Day

Carry only what is necessary. Excess items create confusion at the gate.

Mandatory:

  • Printed admit card (clear and readable)
  • One valid photo ID (Aadhaar / Voter ID / PAN / Driving Licence / Passport)
  • Two recent passport-size photographs
  • A simple blue or black ballpoint pen

Strictly Not Allowed:

  • Mobile phones, smartwatches, earphones
  • Bags, books, notes, or loose papers
  • Any electronic or communication device

7. Exam Day Instructions - Explained Simply

  • Reach the exam centre 45-60 minutes before the reporting time.
  • Late entry is usually not permitted under any circumstances.
  • Follow instructions given by invigilators strictly.
  • Seating and biometric checks (if any) take time-arriving early keeps you composed.

No special dress code or COVID-related instructions are mentioned in the official notice. Follow only what is printed on your admit card.

8. Common Mistakes Candidates Make

Avoid these preventable errors:

  • Downloading the admit card but not checking details
  • Bringing a blurred or low-quality printout
  • Reaching the centre late due to poor route planning
  • Carrying prohibited items and arguing at the gate
  • Relying on screenshots instead of printed copies

These mistakes create panic and drain mental energy before the exam even begins.

9. What to Do Next (Preparation + Mindset)

With the admit card in hand, shift focus to execution:

  • Revise core topics and frequently tested areas.
  • Avoid learning entirely new concepts now.
  • Sleep well in the last two nights before the exam.
  • Visit the exam centre location once in advance if it is unfamiliar.

Confidence comes from preparation and discipline, not last-minute cramming.

10. Conclusion

The admit card release means you are officially in the final stage of this recruitment process. Handle this phase with care, clarity, and calm thinking. Small administrative discipline now prevents big regrets later.

Prepare steadily, follow instructions, and trust your effort. Anxiety helps no one-structure and focus do.
