What to Verify on Your DET Admit Card
Before the exam day, confirm each of these on your printed admit card:
- Personal Details: Name, date of birth, and contact number match your application exactly.
- Test Centre Address: Note the exact location and confirm you know how to reach it. The centre may differ from your PET venue.
- Reporting Time: Arrive at least 30 minutes before the time printed on your admit card. Lateness may disqualify you from the test.
- Exam Date and Shift: Confirm the date is 24 August 2026 and note your assigned shift (morning or afternoon).
- Roll Number: Verify this matches your PET admit card and application document.
If any detail is incorrect or missing, do not attend the exam without correction. Contact CSBC through the official website immediately.
What to Carry on DET Exam Day
Your admit card alone is insufficient. Bring:
- Printed DET admit card (the original PDF downloaded from the portal)
- Valid original photo ID: Aadhaar Card, Passport, PAN Card, or Voter ID – must match the name on your admit card
- Original driving license: The Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) or Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) license you listed in your application. The examiner will verify it matches your application and that it was issued at least one year before 17 July 2025 (the eligibility cutoff date).
Arrive 15-20 minutes early to allow time for entry verification and document checking.
DET Exam Details and What to Expect
The Driving Efficiency Test assesses your practical driving ability. Your license is verified for validity and issue date. The test is conducted one-on-one with an examiner who observes your vehicle control, safety awareness, and compliance with traffic rules.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET) Standards – Already Completed
You have already passed the PET. For reference, the standards were:

What Happens After the DET

Common Issues and Solutions
My admit card download link shows an error. The portal may be slow near the activation deadline (10 August). Wait a few hours and try again. Clear your browser cache or try a different browser. If the issue persists after 11 August, contact CSBC using the official email or phone number on their website.
I cannot remember my Registration Number. Check your original application confirmation email or SMS. If unavailable, contact CSBC through the official website with your full name, date of birth, and any reference number you have.
The test centre on my admit card is too far from home. The test centre assignment is fixed and based on your application. You cannot request a change. Plan your travel; note the exact address and find the route beforehand.
My name on the admit card does not match my ID proof exactly If there is a discrepancy (e.g., a middle initial is missing, or spelling varies), inform CSBC immediately. Do not assume it will be overlooked. Contact the official support channel with both documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. When will the DET admit card be available for download?
Ans. The admit card will be released on 10 August 2026. The portal activation time is usually morning hours, but it may take until late afternoon in some cases. Refresh the official website from 10 August onwards to check availability.
Q2. What login credentials do I need to download the admit card?
Ans. Use either your Registration Number or Enrollment Number along with your Date of Birth (in DD/MM/YYYY format). Both credentials should work; if one does not, try the other.
Q3. Can I take a photocopy of someone else’s admit card if I cannot download mine in time?
Ans. No. You must carry an original admit card with your unique roll number and personal details. Bringing another candidate’s admit card is not acceptable and may result in disqualification.
Q4. What if I lose my admit card after printing it?
Ans. Download and print another copy from the official portal anytime before or on exam day. The admit card link remains active until after the DET concludes. Keep your digital copy saved on your phone as backup.
Q5. Can I appear for the DET without my original driving license?
Ans. No. Your original LMV or HMV license is mandatory. The examiner verifies it against your application to confirm validity and issue date. If your license has expired or was issued less than one year before 17 July 2025, you are not eligible for the DET and will not be permitted to take the test.
Q6. What should I do if my test centre address is unclear or incomplete on the admit card?
Ans. Contact CSBC through the official website’s support channel with your admit card and roll number. They will provide the complete address, including landmark and directions. Do this immediately after downloading, not on exam day.
Q7. Is there a dress code for the DET?
Ans. The official notification does not specify a dress code for the DET. However, wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing that allows free movement. Avoid loose clothes or footwear that could obstruct the clutch and pedal operation.
Q8. How long does the DET usually take?
Ans. The notification does not specify an exact duration. The DET is a practical driving test conducted one-on-one, typically lasting 15-30 minutes per candidate depending on the examiner’s assessment routine. Arrive early and plan to spend 2-3 hours at the centre (including waiting time).
