Know the important rules before reaching the examination center

Some strict rules and guidelines have been issued for this national level examination conducted by UPSC, which is mandatory for every candidate to follow. Candidates must carry their admit card and a valid original photo identity card (like Aadhar Card, Voter ID or PAN Card) to gain entry to the examination centre. The gates of the centers are closed well before the commencement of the examination, therefore, to avoid any kind of inconvenience or traffic, students are advised to report to their examination center at least an hour before the scheduled time.

Instructions regarding filling OMR sheet and prohibited items

Only black ballpoint pen is allowed to fill the OMR sheet in NDA exam, hence avoid using blue pen or pencil. Apart from this, there is a complete ban on carrying any type of electronic device like mobile phone, smartwatch, Bluetooth device, calculator or study material inside the examination hall. If any student is found violating these rules, strict disciplinary action may be taken against him and his/her candidature may be cancelled.

How to do smart revision in the last days?

There are very few days left for the exam, hence experts and last year’s successful candidates advise that instead of studying any new topic in this last time, only revise the old topics. Solving mock tests of Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT) improves time management and boosts confidence. Take full care of your health and appear in the examination with a positive mindset, because your hard work is going to make your big dream of serving the country come true.
