CSIR ASO CPT Admit Card 2026 Released: Direct Download Link, Exam Pattern, and Essential Guidelines

CSIR has opened admit cards for the Assistant Section Officer Computer Proficiency Test today, September 5, 2026, from 10 am. The download window stays live until September 11, 2026, 5 pm. Access it only through the CSIR Recruitment and Assessment portal to avoid fake links or mirrors circulating online.

Open recruitment.csir.res.in, select Assistant Section Officer, and choose Admit Card. Recent CSIR notices typically ask the registered email, date of birth, and a mobile OTP to log in. Verify test city, venue, session, and instructions. Print on A4, preferably colour, ensuring your photo and signature appear sharp and unobscured.

Who can download the CSIR ASO CPT admit card?

Only candidates named in CSIR’s August 5 screening list for Advertisement E‑I/RC/2026/2 can access the CPT admit card. The recruitment rules call at least five candidates per vacancy, category wise, for CPT. Cross‑check your application number in the screening PDF before attempting login or raising queries.

CSIR ASO CPT pattern and qualifying marks

The CPT is a one‑hour, qualifying test across common office tools. It covers Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, weighted 40, 30, and 30 marks respectively. Minimum qualifying scores are UR 40 percent; OBC and EWS 37 percent; SC and ST 35 percent; and all Persons with Benchmark Disabilities 30 percent. Plan practice accordingly.

CSIR ASO CPT admit card: printing, documents, and ID rules

Carry your printed admit card and one original government photo ID with a matching name. CSIR notices specify that ration cards and learner’s driving licences are not valid IDs. Keep two recent passport photos handy. Avoid folds or lamination that obscure your face or signature at entry checks.

CSIR ASO CPT exam‑day rules, reporting, and banned items

Report strictly at the time printed on your admit card; previous CSIR CPTs asked candidates to arrive about ninety minutes early. Centres disallow bags, notes, calculators, laptops, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, and smartwatches. CSIR uses signal jammers in high‑stakes exams, so expect zero device connectivity inside. Travel light and cooperate during frisking.

Admit card not loading? Quick fixes and helplines

Switch browsers, clear cache, disable pop‑up blockers, and retry during off‑peak hours. If you opted for a scribe, upload required documents first or downloads may stall. For support, email [email protected] or call 07969049955 between 9 am and 6 pm. Remember, the window closes September 11, 5 pm.
