Telangana High Court Junior Assistant exam-day guide
Telangana High Court Junior Assistant · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Printed hall ticket / admit card
Carry at least two clean printouts. The Telangana High Court recruitment notification generally requires the admit card, so keep a PDF copy on your phone as backup. Confirm the exact number of copies and colour/black-and-white requirement with the provider.
Valid photo ID in original
Bring the original ID whose number you entered in the application (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, driving licence, or voter ID). Photocopies and digital IDs are usually not accepted. Confirm the accepted ID list with the provider.
Passport-size photographs
Carry 2-3 recent photographs matching the one pasted/uploaded in your application. Some centres collect one for the attendance sheet; confirm with the provider whether photos are needed.
Blue/black ballpoint pens
Carry two working pens. If the paper is OMR-based, use only the colour the instructions specify; if it is computer-based, pens are for rough work only. Confirm the mode (OMR vs CBT) with the provider.
Transparent water bottle
Many centres allow only transparent bottles with no label. Do not carry food unless the instructions permit it.
Report time and gate-closing time noted
Write the reporting time, gate-closing time, and centre address on paper the night before. Plan to reach the centre well before the gate closes; late entry is almost always refused.
Centre route rehearsed
Do a dry run or map the route in advance, including local transport and traffic hotspots. Keep a local contact number for the centre area.
No prohibited items
Leave behind smartwatches, Bluetooth earbuds, mobile phones (or surrender as instructed), calculators, books, and loose paper. Metal jewellery and belts slow down security screening.
Scribe/relaxation request, if applicable
If you need a scribe or extra time on medical grounds, carry the prescribed certificate and prior approval. Confirm the process and deadlines with the provider.
Read the instruction page of the admit card
The admit card lists centre code, reporting time, and item restrictions. Re-read it the night before and again at the gate.
Simple, comfortable clothing
Avoid heavy accessories and footwear that is hard to remove at security. Follow any dress code stated in the instructions; confirm with the provider if unclear.
Plan the day
Stop learning new topics. Revise your own short notes on Telangana High Court jurisdiction and organisation, the Code of Civil Procedure and Code of Criminal Procedure basics, the Indian Penal Code/BNS essentials, the Indian Constitution, general English, arithmetic, and Telangana state general knowledge. Take one full-length timed mock under exam conditions and review every wrong answer. Download and print the admit card, check the centre address, and prepare the document pouch.
Confirm how you will travel to the centre and, if it is far, book accommodation. Check the weather forecast. Keep originals of your ID and certificates in one folder. Re-read the admit card instructions for prohibited items and reporting time.
Pack the pouch: admit card printouts, original ID, photographs, pens, transparent bottle. Lay out clothes. Charge your phone but plan to leave it behind or surrender it as instructed. Do a light revision of formulas, English grammar rules, and key dates/facts; sleep early. Do not start a new topic or stay up late.
Eat a normal breakfast, avoid heavy or oily food, and leave early enough to absorb delays. Reach the centre before the gate-closing time. Use the restroom before entering the hall. Keep only permitted items in the hall; hand over your phone if the centre provides a collection point.
Fill in roll number, booklet number, and other details carefully, following the invigilator's instructions exactly. Check that the question booklet is not torn and the page count is right; report defects immediately. Read the instructions on the paper before starting.
For OMR papers, mark answers as you go and reserve the last 10-15 minutes for transfer and verification. For CBT, use the on-screen review/flag option. Attempt easy questions first, then moderate ones, and leave long or uncertain ones for the end. Do not leave blanks if there is no negative marking; if negative marking applies, guess only when you can eliminate options. Confirm the marking scheme with the provider.
Verify that every answer is marked in the correct place and that roll number and booklet details are correct. Do not make last-minute changes unless you are sure. Hand over the paper/OMR sheet only when the invigilator asks.
Rules to check
Carry the admit card and original photo ID at all times in the centre; candidates without valid documents are normally not allowed to sit the exam. Confirm the exact document requirements with the provider.
Reach the centre before the gate-closing time printed on the admit card. Late entry is generally refused, and no extra time is given for delays caused by traffic or security queues.
Do not carry mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, books, or loose paper into the exam hall. If the centre provides a deposit facility, use it; otherwise leave such items at home.
Follow invigilator instructions on filling the OMR sheet or logging into the CBT. Marking errors such as wrong roll number or multiple responses on one question can invalidate that answer.
Do not indulge in unfair means, talking, or exchanging material. Impersonation and malpractice lead to disqualification and possible legal action; the decision of the recruiting authority is usually final.
Breaks are generally not allowed during the exam. Use the restroom before entering the hall; if a medical need arises, raise your hand and follow the invigilator. Confirm the centre's policy with the provider.
Scoring, negative marking, and cut-off rules are set by the Telangana High Court in the recruitment notification. Read the official notification for the exact marking scheme and confirm any doubt with the provider.
