What to Check on Your Admit Card
Do not assume your admit card is correct simply because it downloaded. Verify every field as soon as you download it. Errors on the admit card — if caught early — can be corrected before the exam date.
- ✅ Full Name (as per official documents)
- ✅ Father’s Name
- ✅ Date of Birth
- ✅ Roll Number
- ✅ Registration / Application ID
- ✅ Photograph (should be clear and recognisable)
- ✅ Signature (should be visible)
- ✅ Category (General / OBC / SC / ST etc.)
- ✅ Exam Centre Name and Address
- ✅ Exam Date and Session Timings
- ✅ Subject / Paper details
If any detail is incorrect, contact APSC immediately through the official helpline or email — do not wait until exam day.
What to Carry to the Exam Hall on 5th July 2026
Entry to the examination hall without the required documents will not be permitted under any circumstances. Carry the following on exam day:
- 🔴 Printed APSC CCE 2026 Admit Card — mandatory. Digital copy on phone is not accepted.
- 🔴 One original, valid photo ID — any of the following: Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Passport, PAN Card, Driving Licence. The name must match your admit card.
- 🔴 Blue or black ballpoint pen — for filling OMR sheet details. Do not use gel pens.
- 🔴 Passport-size photograph — some centres may ask for this. Carry 2 copies as a precaution.
Do not carry: Mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, earphones, or any electronic item into the examination hall. These are strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification.
Name or Detail Error on Admit Card – What to Do
If you notice a discrepancy — a spelling error in your name, wrong date of birth, or incorrect category — follow these steps immediately:
- Do not wait. Contact APSC as soon as you notice the error.
- Email apsc-asm@nic.in with the subject line: Admit Card Error – APSC CCE 2026 Prelims – [Your Roll Number].
- Attach a scanned copy of your admit card and the relevant supporting document that shows the correct information (Aadhaar, Marksheet, etc.).
- Also call the APSC helpline: +91-361-2368207 during office hours to flag the issue.
- If the error is not corrected in time, carry the original ID document that shows the correct information to the exam hall, along with a written explanation.
⚠️ APSC office contact details and helpline are available on the official APSC website (apsc.nic.in).
Using the Remaining 30 Days – Preparation Priorities
With the admit card releasing on 15th June and the exam on 5th July, you have exactly 20 days from admit card release to exam day. This is the final sprint. Here is how to structure it:
Days 1–10 (15th June – 25th June): Subject revision. Complete one full revision of NCERT History (Class 10, 12), Geography (Class 11), Polity quick notes from Laxmikanth, and Environment from Shankar IAS. Do not add any new material.
Days 11–17 (26th June – 2nd July): Mock tests every day. Solve one full APSC Prelims mock paper daily under strict exam conditions — 10 AM to 12 PM for Paper I, 2 PM to 4 PM for Paper II, mirroring the actual exam schedule. Analyse every wrong answer the same evening.
Days 18–20 (3rd July – 4th July): Light revision only. Do not attempt new mocks. Review your error log, revise weak areas, confirm your exam centre location and travel route. Sleep by 10 PM on 4th July.
