Candidates are required to report at the ‘Reporting Counter’ of the test venue as per the time indicated in their admit cards. The exact entry point to the test centre and the main gate of the venue might be at a distance. To avoid unforeseen delay in reaching to the test centre entry point (Reporting Counter), candidates are advised to reach well in time and familiarise themselves with the exact point of the entry to the test centre in the premises of the venue well in advance. The reporting counter will close 30 minutes prior to the test start time. Any delay in arrival to the test centre entry point shall lead to denial of entry even if the candidate might have arrived to the premises of the venue.

However, candidates reporting late or beyond the prescribed time shall not be allowed to appear in the exam under any circumstances. NBEMS shall not be responsible for any delayed arrival of the candidate in reaching the centre due to any reason.

TEST CENTRE LOCATION

Meanwhile, the exact address and location of the test centres shall be indicated in the admit card. Candidates are advised to familiarise themselves with the test centre and reporting counter locations at least one day prior to the examination day and ensure that they report for the exam as per the scheduled time only. The Google map location shall be indicated in the admit card for quick reference only. It shall be the responsibility of the candidate to confirm the exact location of the test centre well in advance to avoid any delay in arrival.

However, it is to be noted that only the candidates who have been issued an admit card will be allowed entry inside the examination centre premises, subject to the fulfilment of documentary requirements.

Friends or relatives accompanying the candidates will not be allowed entry in the examination centre premises under any circumstances and will not be allowed to contact the candidate while the examination process is ongoing.

BARCODE/QR CODE READER AT ENTRY POINTS

The candidate will flash the admit card and ID proof for verification to the exam functionary standing across the table with the barcode/QR code reader. The candidate shall be informed about the assigned lab number.

To avoid any hardship, candidates are advised not to bring prohibited items along with them to the test Centre.

Finger Biometrics of candidates shall be captured at the time of registration for the test at the test venue in CBT.

Face ID shall be verified against the photograph(s) captured on the exam day and photograph(s) uploaded in the application form. Therefore, it is essential to upload a recent photograph in the application as per the image upload guidelines prescribed in order to avoid a mismatch in the Face ID verification process. Candidates are requested to cooperate with this essential activity to avoid any cases of impersonation. This is a security feature which will ensure that only genuine candidates appear for the exam. Any candidate not adhering to the aforementioned security measures will not be allowed to take the test. Manual Attendance with signature and manual thumb impression shall also be done.

After verification of ID and capture of photograph, candidates will be escorted to the designated computer terminal at the test centre ensuring social distancing and an Invigilator will assist the candidate for check-in process of the test.

Candidates are required to keep their admit card and photo identification with them at all times during the conduct of the examination.

Any suspicious or disruptive behaviour on the part of the candidate may lead to the cancellation of candidature.

In case of any technical disruption during the test, rest assured that a registered candidate will get complete allocated examination time.
