Haryana BSEH Secondary NSQF IT-ITeS exam-day guide
Haryana BSEH Secondary NSQF IT-ITeS · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Admit card / hall ticket printout
Carry the admit card issued for the practical examination. Verify the exam centre name, address, date, reporting time and roll number printed on it. Keep a spare photocopy. If you have not received it or details look wrong, contact your school's exam coordinator immediately - do not assume the school will fix it on the day. Confirm the exact document requirements with the provider.
School ID card and one photo ID
Bring your school identity card plus one additional photo identification (such as an Aadhaar card or similar government photo ID). The specific list of accepted IDs is set by the board/centre, so confirm with the provider which documents are mandatory.
Two recent passport-size photographs
Some centres ask for photographs for attendance or practical record sheets. Carry two spare copies in case they are needed; confirm with the provider whether photographs are required.
Practical record file / lab manual / project file
If your IT-ITeS practical work includes a record book, lab file, or project report, bring the completed and duly signed file. Get teacher signatures done well before the exam day, not on the morning itself.
Stationery kit
Blue/black pens, pencil, eraser, sharpener, and a scale. For IT practicals, confirm with the provider whether you must bring anything else (for example a notebook for rough work) and whether any items are prohibited.
Uniform / dress code compliance
Wear the school uniform as instructed by your school. If your school permits casual dress for practicals, confirm with the provider beforehand.
Reach the centre early
Plan to arrive at least 30–45 minutes before the reporting time printed on the admit card, allowing for travel delays and verification queues. Exact reporting time is on the admit card; confirm any local instructions with the provider.
Know your practical syllabus and lab tasks
Revise the practical skills in your NSQF IT-ITeS syllabus - for example basic computer operations, file and folder management, word processing, spreadsheet basics, internet and email use, and workplace safety and soft skills - as applicable to your trade. Practise each task hands-on rather than only reading it.
Practise on the software/tools named in your syllabus
Be comfortable opening, saving and closing files; creating and formatting documents; entering data and simple formulas in a spreadsheet; browsing and using email; and following safe handling of equipment. Confirm with the provider which software versions or lab setup will be used.
No prohibited items
Do not carry mobile phones, smart watches, or any unauthorised electronic device into the lab unless the centre explicitly permits it. Confirm with the provider what is allowed.
Read the practical instructions carefully
Listen to the invigilator's instructions and read the question/task sheet fully before starting. Note the marks for each task and the time allotted so you can prioritise.
Keep calm and ask only permitted questions
If a task instruction is unclear, raise your hand and ask the invigilator. Do not ask other candidates for help. Confirm with the provider what clarifications invigilators are allowed to give.
Plan the day
Re-read the practical syllabus and list every hands-on task you may be asked to perform. Do a timed practice run of each task on a computer. Complete and get signatures on your practical record/project file if required. Check your admit card details, confirm the centre address and travel route, and gather your documents in one folder. If any requirement is unclear (documents, dress, software, reporting time), confirm with the provider now rather than later.
Pack your bag: admit card, ID, photographs, stationery, and record file. Charge nothing you cannot carry - leave phone and smart devices at home unless permitted. Get a full night's sleep. Do a light revision of steps and key terms only; avoid learning new tools at the last minute. Set an alarm and arrange transport.
Eat a proper meal, wear the correct uniform, and leave early enough to arrive 30–45 minutes before reporting time. Re-check that your admit card, ID and stationery are with you before leaving. At the centre, follow the seating and verification process quietly and keep your documents ready.
Read the task sheet and note the marks and time for each task. Start with the tasks you are confident about, save your work frequently, and follow the exact file names and locations asked for. Keep your workspace tidy and handle equipment carefully. Watch the clock so you can finish and submit/verify your work before time ends. If something is unclear or a machine fails, raise your hand and inform the invigilator immediately instead of trying to fix it yourself.
Rules to check
Carry and produce your admit card and the required photo ID whenever asked; candidates without valid documents may not be allowed to sit the practical. Confirm the exact document policy with the provider.
Follow all instructions of the invigilator and centre staff. Do not talk, signal, or exchange material with other candidates during the test.
Do not bring mobile phones, smart watches, or unauthorised electronic devices into the lab. If you carry one, hand it over if the centre provides a collection facility; confirm with the provider.
Work only on your own assigned machine/task. Do not copy another candidate's work or use unauthorised notes, storage devices, or internet resources unless the task explicitly permits them.
Save your work as instructed and submit or leave it exactly where the invigilator directs. Do not delete or alter other candidates' files or the lab's system settings.
Handle computers and lab equipment carefully; report any fault or damage to the invigilator immediately rather than attempting repairs.
Breaks, water, and restroom permission are at the discretion of the centre; ask the invigilator. Confirm any break policy with the provider.
Marks for the practical are awarded by the examiner(s) as per the board's scheme; do not ask invigilators to reveal or change marks. Any scoring or re-checking query must be raised through your school after the exam, following board procedure.
