Documents to carry on the test day

Carry an original, valid Government photo ID showing the candidate’s date of birth. The photograph must be clear enough for identity verification.
If the photo ID does not show the date of birth, carry an additional original document such as a Matriculation certificate, board marks sheet or birth certificate as specified in the general instructions.
Check that the date of birth on the E-Admit Card matches the supporting ID documents. A mismatch may result in denial of entry.
Reach within the reporting window printed for the relevant post. The Board says entry will not be allowed after the reporting time.
