An admit card is more than an entry pass. It carries the rules of the exam hall, and those rules differ from one board to the next. Reading them the day before saves trouble at the gate.

Instructions most cards include

  • Reporting time and the time the gate closes
  • Which photo ID is accepted, and whether a photocopy is allowed
  • Items that are banned: phones, smart watches, calculators, bags
  • Whether you need an extra passport photo for attendance
  • Dress guidance for biometric checks

Instructions people miss

Some cards ask you to paste a photo on a specific box, or to carry a self-declaration form. Some say the card must be printed in colour. These lines are often on page two.
