💡 Key Things to Remember
- Not the Hall Ticket: The current City Slip is not your admit card for entry. You must download the final hall ticket when it is released next month.
- Mandatory Documents: On exam day, carry a clear printed copy of the final admit card, a valid original Photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Voter ID), and a black/blue ballpoint pen.
- Early Arrival: Gates close exactly at the exam start time (9:30 AM and 2:30 PM). No entry is allowed after that, so reach the center at least 90 minutes early.
