Last-Minute Exam Day Tips 💡

The admit card is downloaded by the school via Pariksha Sangam — students must collect it from their school with the Principal’s signature and stamp. Carry the signed admit card along with your school ID card to the exam centre. Reach the exam centre at least 30 minutes before 10:30 AM. Entry is closed at 10:15 AM. Carry a blue/black ballpoint pen and a simple calculator (only for subjects where permitted). No mobile phone or electronic device is allowed inside the hall.

• Reach early — arrive at the exam centre at least 30-45 minutes before reporting time. Entry is usually stopped 15 minutes before the exam starts.
• Read instructions carefully — spend the first 2-3 minutes reading all instructions before attempting questions.
• Manage time wisely — don’t spend too long on one difficult question. Move ahead and come back later.
• Check for negative marking — if there’s a penalty for wrong answers, skip questions you’re unsure about.
• Stay calm — anxiety affects performance. Trust your preparation and stay focused.
