PSSSB Naib Tehsildar · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Printed admit card / hall ticket
Print at least two clean copies and keep one spare in your bag. Confirm with the provider whether a digital copy is accepted and whether colour printing is required. needs_review.
Original photo ID
Bring the original ID document named in your application (for example Aadhaar, PAN, passport or driving licence). Confirm the exact list of accepted IDs and whether a photocopy must also be submitted with the provider. needs_review.
Passport-size photographs
Carry two or three recent photographs matching the one uploaded in your application. Confirm the number and specification with the provider. needs_review.
Black or blue ballpoint pens
Carry two or three working pens of the colour permitted for OMR marking. Confirm the allowed pen colour with the provider before the exam. needs_review.
Transparent water bottle
A small, label-free transparent bottle is usually allowed. Confirm whether water bottles are permitted inside the hall with the provider. needs_review.
Face mask and hand sanitizer
Carry these if current health instructions require them at the centre. Confirm the latest requirement with the provider. needs_review.
Exam centre address and route plan
Check the centre location on a map, plan your transport and add a buffer for traffic. Do a dry run the day before if the centre is unfamiliar.
Simple analogue watch
A non-smart watch can help you pace yourself if the hall has no visible clock. Confirm whether wristwatches are allowed with the provider. needs_review.
No electronic devices
Leave mobile phones, smart watches, earphones and Bluetooth devices at home or with a companion. Do not carry them into the examination hall.
Light meal and sleep plan
Eat a light, familiar breakfast and avoid heavy or oily food. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep the night before.
Read the admit card instructions
Note the reporting time, gate-closing time, seat number and any centre-specific instructions printed on the admit card. Confirm any point that is unclear with the provider. needs_review.
Photocopy of ID
Some boards ask for a self-attested photocopy of the ID. Confirm with the provider whether this is required. needs_review.
Plan the day
Confirm your admit card, centre address and ID requirements. Revise only high-yield topics from your own notes, take one timed mock or practice set, and shift your sleep schedule toward exam-day timing. Stop starting new topics.
Do a light revision of formulas, definitions and summaries. Pack your documents and pens in one bag. Check transport options and expected travel time to the centre.
Keep revision light and stop by early evening. Pack the bag, set two alarms, charge nothing electronic that you cannot carry, and sleep at a normal hour. Avoid discussing difficult topics with other candidates.
Wake early, eat a light breakfast, carry your admit card and original ID, and leave with a generous travel buffer. Reach the centre well before the reporting time so you can complete verification calmly. Do not carry prohibited electronic items.
Read all instructions and verify the booklet series and roll number before starting. Scan the paper for easy questions, answer them first, and mark doubtful ones for a second pass. Keep an eye on the clock and fill the answer sheet in clear blocks so you do not fall behind. Check that every answer is marked against the correct question number before you hand in.
Rules to check
Carry only the items permitted by the provider. Mobile phones, smart watches, earphones and similar electronic devices are normally prohibited inside the hall; confirm the exact permitted-items list with the provider.
Bring the original photo ID specified in your application. Entry can be refused if the ID does not match your admit card or application details. Confirm the accepted ID list with the provider.
Follow the invigilator's instructions at all times. Do not communicate with other candidates, exchange materials or look at another candidate's answer sheet.
Do not leave the examination hall during the test unless there is a medical emergency. Confirm the provider's policy on breaks and restroom visits. needs_review.
Enter your roll number, booklet series and other details carefully on the answer sheet. Use only the pen colour permitted for OMR marking and keep rough work off the answer sheet.
Confirm with the provider whether negative marking applies and how unanswered questions are treated before you finalise your attempt strategy. needs_review.
Any malpractice, impersonation or possession of unauthorised material can lead to disqualification and further action. Report any problem to the invigilator immediately.
Keep your admit card and ID safe after the exam. Confirm with the provider whether they are needed at later stages of the selection process. needs_review.
