Time Management and Precautions
Parijat Mishra, an expert from Allen Career Institute, advises students to manage their time effectively. Several students have centers located 250-300 km away. Considering traffic, weather, and distance, plan to reach the center between 11:00 AM and 1:15 PM. The gate closes promptly at 1:30 PM. Last year, many students missed the exam due to lateness.

During the Exam
Students must remain in the hall until the exam concludes. Do not leave without handing over the OMR sheet to the invigilator. Pay careful attention to filling in the roll number, test booklet number, and paper code on the OMR. Avoid cutting or overwriting; you will not receive a second OMR sheet. Report any discrepancies to the invigilator immediately.
