What The Hall Ticket Contains
It carries the candidate’s name, photograph, roll number, exam centre address, reporting time, and shift details, along with instructions on prohibited items and conduct inside the examination hall. The written exam will be held in two shifts, covering Mathematics and the General Ability Test. Candidates should verify every detail carefully, since errors in the name, photograph, or exam centre need to be reported to UPSC well before the exam date.
Exam Day Guidelines For NDA 2 Candidates
Candidates are advised to reach the exam centre at least 60 to 65 minutes before the reporting time to allow for frisking and verification. A printed copy of the document must be carried along with a valid photo ID proof, such as an Aadhaar card, passport, voter ID, or driving licence. Entry is not permitted without it.
Mobile phones, calculators, smartwatches, and other prohibited items are not allowed inside the exam hall, and candidates found carrying them may be disqualified from the exam. Candidates should also keep this document safe after the written exam, as it may be required at later stages of the selection process, including the SSB interview and subsequent document verification.
