Common admit-card mistakes that can cost you the exam, and how to fix them

• Photo does not match: write to the board with a recent photo.
• Name spelling differs from ID: carry an affidavit.
• Wrong centre city: apply for a change before the deadline.

Most corrections need to be requested at least ten days before the exam. Write to the board's email on the notice with your roll number, the error, and a scan of the supporting document.

On the day, carry two printouts and one original photo ID. A phone copy of the admit card is not accepted at most centres.
