Final Countdown Checklist
- Reporting Time: Most centers require candidates to report by 8:30 AM for a 10:00 AM start. Late entries are strictly prohibited.
- Mandatory ID Proof: Carry one original government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN Card, Voter ID, or Driving License) along with the admit card.
- Stationery: Even for the CBT mode, it is advisable to carry a blue/black ballpoint pen for rough work (sheets will be provided at the venue).
- Marking Scheme: Be cautious of the negative marking! Every correct answer yields +1 mark, but every wrong answer results in a -0.25 mark deduction.
