Crucial Instructions for Candidates
To maintain the integrity of the Computer-Based Test (CBT), NTA has issued a strict set of “Dos and Don’ts”:
| Category | Requirements |
| Identification | Original Aadhaar Card/E-Aadhaar or any Govt. Photo ID. |
| Photos | One passport-size photo (same as uploaded) to be pasted on the attendance sheet. |
| Dress Code | Light clothes with long sleeves are not permitted; slippers or low-heeled sandals are preferred over shoes. |
| Prohibited | Mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, wallets, and even metallic jewelry. |
Last-Minute Preparation Tips
With only a few days remaining, experts suggest focusing on Paper I (General Aptitude) as it often acts as the score-booster. Since there is no negative marking, candidates are advised to attempt all 150 questions. Ensure you have practiced at least two full-length mock tests on the official NTA “Mock Test” portal to get used to the CBT interface.
