What's Printed on the SSC CGL Admit Card
Double-check these critical personal and administrative details on your hall ticket as soon as you download it.
Name & Photograph
Must match your photo ID exactly at entry.
Roll No & Registration ID
Required for all further stages, including result lookup.
Exam Date & Shift Timing
Confirm this the moment you download — shift errors are rare but do happen.
Exam Centre & Address
Plan your travel route and reporting time from this address, not a guess.
Reporting Time
Typically well before the shift start — read it exactly, don't assume.
Exam Day Instructions
Items allowed/prohibited, reporting procedure, ID requirements.
What to Carry to the Exam Centre
Make sure you carry these items to avoid administrative delays or denial of entry at your test center.
- Printed admit card (at least one copy, two is safer)
- A valid original photo ID: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence
- Passport-size photographs, if specified on your admit card
- A transparent/ballpoint pen if instructed (check your specific admit card's instructions)
If There's an Error on Your Admit Card
Follow these instructions immediately if you detect discrepancies in your hall ticket details.
Regional SSC Office
Contact your regional SSC office immediately — not the exam centre, and not on exam day itself.
Supporting Documents
Bring supporting documents for whatever needs correcting (photo ID for name mismatch, application confirmation for category/centre issue).
Early Action
Corrections close to the exam date are difficult, so check your admit card the day it's released, not the day before your exam.
