Eligible out-of-state and border-region applicants can download their official admit cards from August 7. This change ensures fair opportunities for many deserving aspirants.

The examination is now scheduled for August 9 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm server-time. Candidates must note that Bengaluru is the only designated test centring city for this test. Local transport and stay arrangements should be planned well in advance to prevent last-minute delays. Missing this session means forfeiting fee-based reservation seat options.
