1Admit card + ID proof (must)

• Original ID proof — Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport (jo admit card me mention ho)
• 2 passport size photos — recent, admit card wali photo jaisi
• Self-declaration (agar notification me maanga ho — COVID time se kuch exams me abhi bhi hai)

2Kya lekar jana hai

• Transparent water bottle (kai centers me allowed, label nahi)
• Black/blue ball pen (jo exam me allowed ho — notification check karo)
• Mask (agar required ho)

3Dress code (important)

• Chappal/slippers — shoes, heavy footwear banned ho sakta hai (especially SSC, Railway)

4Banned items

• Calculator (agar exam me allowed nahi)
• Books, notes, chits
• Bags (kai centers me bahar rakhna padta hai, safe nahi)

5Reporting time

• Admit card pe reporting time se 1 ghanta pehle pahucho — entry band hone ke baad entry nahi milti

• Morning shift ho to raat ko hi bag pack kar lo

• Admit card pe instructions 2 baar padho — har exam ke alag rules hote hain

7Exam ke andar
