The board also sends the download intimation by email/SMS to your registered contacts.
On exam day: Paste your latest, identifiable photograph on the admit card, as far as possible the same one you gave at registration. Carry the admit card with the original and a photocopy of a valid photo ID such as PAN card, Passport, permanent Driving Licence, Voter ID, bank passbook with photo or Aadhaar/e-Aadhaar with photo. Ration cards and learner’s driving licences are not valid. If the name on your ID does not match the admit card, you will not be allowed to appear. Candidates arriving after the reporting time printed on the admit card will not be allowed to take the exam, and you may need to stay at the venue for about 4 hours. If you get more than one admit card, appear only once and for one post — appearing more than once cancels your candidature.
