In case of any discrepancy, the commission has advised candidates to immediately report it through the email address mentioned in the official notice.
Candidates will be allowed to carry only a printed e-admit card, the same photo identity proof mentioned in the admit card, a black ballpoint pen, pencil, transparent water bottle, passport-size photographs (where applicable), and other items permitted in the official instructions. Mobile phones, smartwatches, electronic devices, books, bags and other prohibited items will not be allowed inside the examination venue.
