ITI Mechanic Auto Body Repair (AITT Theory) exam-day guide
ITI Mechanic Auto Body Repair (AITT Theory) · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Printed admit card / hall ticket
Carry the exact printed copy required by the provider and check name, roll number, trade, shift, center address and reporting time. Print/photo attestation rules vary, so confirm with the provider (needs_review).
Original photo ID
Bring the original ID type named on the admit card; photocopies are commonly refused. Confirm the accepted ID list and whether a second ID is needed with the provider (needs_review).
Passport-size photographs
Carry recent photographs matching the admit card in case the center requires them for verification or attendance. Confirm the number, size and background specification with the provider (needs_review).
Black/blue ballpoint pens, pencil, eraser and sharpener
Use the pen colour specified for OMR or answer-book entries; keep a pencil only for rough work if permitted. Confirm whether pencil marking is allowed on the answer sheet (needs_review).
Transparent pouch and transparent water bottle
Keep documents and stationery in a clear pouch for quick checking. Confirm whether water bottles must be transparent and label-free at your center (needs_review).
Simple non-smart wristwatch
A basic watch helps you pace sections; smartwatches and fitness bands are normally barred. Confirm whether any watch is permitted at the center (needs_review).
Center route and backup travel plan
Do a route check in advance and note the gate location, reporting time and a backup transport option. Gate-closing rules are provider-specific, so confirm them (needs_review).
Emergency contact and approved medication
Carry a written emergency contact. If you need regular medication, a scribe or extra time, confirm the approval process with the provider well before the exam (needs_review).
Read the admit card instructions fully
Highlight reporting time, prohibited items, dress code and any center-specific instruction. Do not rely only on verbal information from other candidates.
Practise the answer format
If the paper is OMR-based, practise filling circles and bubbling the roll number correctly; if it is computer-based, use any official mock or demo link provided. Confirm the format with the provider (needs_review).
Leave prohibited items at home
Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, notes, Bluetooth devices and bags are normally barred. Confirm the center's storage policy, because many centers do not provide secure storage (needs_review).
Plan the day
Download and print the admit card, verify every detail, collect the original ID and photographs, and do a route recce. Confirm reporting time and allowed items with the provider. Revise only high-yield AITT theory areas: workshop safety, hand and body-repair tools, fasteners, sheet-metal and panel construction, welding and brazing hazards, dent removal, body alignment and measuring, paint preparation and masking, and basic estimating. Stop new-topic study 24 hours before.
Pack the clear pouch with admit card, ID, photographs, pens/pencil, water and any approved medication. Re-check the center address and transport. Set two alarms and sleep 7-8 hours. Avoid late-night cramming and long discussions that increase anxiety.
Eat a normal meal, leave with travel buffer and reach the center before reporting time. Keep the phone switched off and stored as instructed; carry only allowed items. Use the washroom before entry and listen carefully to invigilator instructions.
Present the admit card and original ID and allow photograph, frisking or biometric verification if required. Confirm your seat, roll number and question-paper set. Report any mismatch to the invigilator before the test starts.
Read the front-page instructions and fill roll number, booklet/set details or computer login first. For OMR, bubble fully and check numbering; for CBT, confirm save/next behaviour. Attempt confident questions first, mark doubtful ones, and transfer answers within time. Do not communicate or share stationery. Use remaining time to check that no required question is left blank, unless negative marking is confirmed.
Rules to check
Carry only the admit card, original ID, photographs if required, pens/pencil and items the provider explicitly allows; confirm the exact list because centers vary (needs_review).
Reach before the reporting time. Late-entry and gate-closing rules are set by the conducting authority, so confirm them on the admit card or provider notice (needs_review).
Do not bring mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, notes or Bluetooth devices into the exam hall; do not assume the center will store them safely.
Follow invigilator directions and ID verification. Report any mismatch in name, photo, roll number or trade before the test begins.
Do not communicate, exchange stationery, or look at another candidate's screen or answer sheet; malpractice can lead to cancellation.
Breaks are usually not allowed during a theory paper. If you need water, medication or a toilet break, raise your hand and confirm the center's policy (needs_review).
Scoring, negative marking and qualifying marks are set by the exam authority. Confirm the current scheme and do not assume another candidate's information is correct (needs_review).
Do not tamper with OMR sheets, question booklets or computer settings. Hand over all materials when instructed and leave only after the invigilator permits.
