MahaRERA Agent exam-day guide
MahaRERA Agent · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Printed admit card / hall ticket
Carry the admit card issued for your slot. Confirm with the provider whether a digital copy is accepted or whether a printed copy is mandatory, and check that your name, photo, exam centre and reporting time are correct. [needs_review]
Original government photo ID
Bring a valid original photo ID (such as Aadhaar, PAN, passport or driving licence) whose details match your application. Confirm the exact list of accepted IDs and whether a photocopy is also required with the exam provider. [needs_review]
Passport-size photographs
Carry recent passport-size photographs matching the one uploaded during registration. Confirm with the provider how many copies, if any, are required on exam day. [needs_review]
Registration / application number
Keep your application or registration number and login details handy in case the centre staff ask for them during verification.
Permitted stationery
If the test is paper-based, carry a black or blue ballpoint pen; for a computer-based test, confirm whether any stationery is provided or allowed. Do not assume a calculator is permitted. [needs_review]
Exam centre location and travel plan
Note the exact centre address and plan your route in advance. Check local transport conditions and allow extra time for security and verification.
Reporting time and gate-closure rule
Check the reporting time printed on your admit card and arrive well before it. Confirm with the provider how late entry is handled, as candidates arriving after gate closure may not be admitted. [needs_review]
List of prohibited items
Read the admit card instructions on prohibited items such as mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators and study material. Plan where you will leave such items if the centre provides no storage.
Water and personal medication
Confirm with the provider whether a transparent water bottle or necessary medication is allowed inside the exam hall. [needs_review]
Comfortable clothing and minimal metal accessories
Wear comfortable clothing and avoid heavy jewellery or metal accessories that may slow down security screening.
Backup plan for documents
Keep a scanned copy of the admit card and ID on your phone or email as a backup, but do not rely on electronic copies unless the provider confirms they are accepted. [needs_review]
Plan the day
Download and print the admit card, verify every detail, and contact the provider immediately if anything is wrong. Check that your photo ID is valid and matches your application. Plan the journey to the centre, including a backup route. Re-read the exam instructions and do light revision of core concepts such as agent registration, duties and penalties under the applicable real estate law. Avoid starting new topics.
Pack your bag with the admit card, original ID, photographs and permitted stationery. Charge your phone and set two alarms. Confirm your transport and expected arrival time. Do a short, calm revision of key definitions and procedures, then stop studying early. Eat a normal meal, avoid alcohol, and sleep for a full night.
Eat a light breakfast and leave early enough to reach the centre with a buffer. Carry only permitted items. Use the restroom before entering the hall. Avoid last-minute group discussions or cramming, which can increase anxiety. Follow security and verification instructions calmly.
Read the on-screen or printed instructions before starting. Note the total time and number of questions, then set a rough pace. Answer easier questions first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. Use the rough sheet or on-screen calculator only if permitted. Keep an eye on the clock and ensure all answers are saved or marked before the final submission. Do not leave the hall without the invigilator's permission.
Rules to check
Carry only the items permitted by the exam provider. Mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators and study material are typically prohibited; confirm the exact list on your admit card.
Present the original photo ID and admit card for verification. Entry may be refused if the name or photo does not match your application, so confirm document requirements with the provider in advance.
Follow all instructions from the invigilator and centre staff. Do not communicate with other candidates or exchange any material during the test.
Do not leave the exam hall during the test except with the invigilator's permission. Confirm the provider's break policy before exam day.
Attempt every question if the scoring scheme has no negative marking. Confirm the marking scheme and any sectional time limits with the provider, as these can change between cycles. [needs_review]
Keep your admit card and ID on the desk throughout the test in case of spot verification.
Do not copy, photograph or share exam content. Treat all question material as confidential.
Arrive before the gate-closure time. Late entry may not be allowed, and no extra time is usually given for delays caused by late arrival.
