Odisha CHSE +2 VOC-ITV Craft Baker · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Admit card or hall ticket
Carry an original printed copy and check that your name, subject code and exam centre are correct. Confirm with the provider whether a digital copy is accepted.
Photo identity document
Bring the school ID or another photo ID accepted by the centre. Confirm the accepted ID list with the provider before exam day.
Completed practical record or project file
Carry the record book, observation sheets and any project file required by your school. Confirm the exact required components and signatures with your teacher.
Recipe and formula notebook
Include handwritten recipes, baker’s percentages, measurement conversions and a blank timing plan. Confirm with the provider whether personal notes may be used during the practical.
Clean apron and prescribed uniform
Wear or bring a clean apron, chef coat or school uniform as instructed. Confirm the exact dress code, including sleeve length and colour, with the provider.
Hair restraint and personal hygiene items
Bring a hairnet or cap, keep nails short and clean, and remove nail polish and wrist jewellery. Carry a small towel and sanitizer if permitted.
Closed-toe non-slip footwear
Wear safe kitchen shoes; avoid open sandals, heels or slippery soles. Confirm any additional footwear rule with the provider.
Ingredients and small tools, only if instructed
Carry only the ingredients, weighing scale, bowls, spatulas or other items named by the provider. Label your belongings and confirm quantities in advance.
Stationery and a simple calculator
Bring pen, pencil, eraser and ruler for labelling and notes. Confirm with the provider whether a basic calculator or smart watch is allowed.
Non-smart timer or watch
Use a simple watch or timer to track proofing, baking and cooling. Confirm whether any watch or timer is permitted at your station.
Water bottle and emergency contact details
Carry a labelled water bottle and keep your school’s contact number handy. Confirm whether water bottles may be kept at the work station.
Plan the day
Confirm the reporting time, venue, entry gate and required documents with your school or the provider. Obtain the official tool and ingredient list, then practise at least one complete recipe under timed conditions, including weighing, shaping, baking, cooling and cleaning.
Review hygiene and safety points, common baking faults, oven temperatures, measurement conversions and likely viva questions. Check that your practical record is complete and signed.
Pack the admit card, ID, record file, uniform, apron, footwear, stationery and any permitted tools. Label ingredients or containers if the provider allows you to bring them. Prepare clothes and plan the route and travel time.
Do a final quantity check against the provider’s list. Avoid trying a brand-new recipe. Eat well, set an alarm and sleep early.
Eat a proper meal, wear the prescribed uniform and carry all documents in one bag. Arrive at least 30–45 minutes before reporting time, unless the provider specifies otherwise.
Read the question or task sheet carefully. Check that ingredients and tools are complete, wash your hands, restrain hair and plan your timeline so that weighing, baking and cooling fit within the allotted period.
Weigh accurately, follow the recipe sequence and keep a written time log. Use oven gloves, clean as you go, and ask the examiner before making any substitution or borrowing an item.
Present the product neatly, label it as instructed and clean your station. Be ready for a short viva on ingredients, method, hygiene, faults and storage.

Work only at your assigned station, keep it clean and do not remove products, tools or ingredients unless the examiner allows it.
