Candidates are urged to carefully follow all exam-related guidelines on the day of the exam because the exam is administered under the supervision of the local police. Below is a list of crucial guidelines that candidates must keep in mind:
- Candidates should arrive at the examination hall at least one hour before the scheduled time to avoid any last-minute difficulties. No late entries will be allowed once the exam commences.
- Only black ballpoint pens are allowed for marking answers on the OMR sheet. The use of any other coloured pen will result in disqualification.
- In addition to the admit card, all candidates must bring a valid photo ID proof (such as Passport, Driving licence, Voter ID card, PAN card, or Aadhar card) that matches the information on their admit card.
- Electronic devices or gadgets like mobile phones and smartwatches are strictly prohibited in the examination hall.
- Candidates are permitted to carry water bottles, small hand sanitiser bottles, and face masks to the exam hall.
- Candidates should bring two passport-size photographs, one for each session, to the exam hall. These photographs will only be used if the printed photo on the admit card is unclear.
