Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. When will the PSSSB Jail Warder Admit Card 2026 be released?
Ans. The admit card is expected to be released 4 to 5 days before the exam date of 26 July 2026, which means the week of 21-22 July 2026. Keep checking the official PSSSB website daily from 20 July onwards.
Q2. What if I cannot log in to download the admit card?
Ans. If your login fails, first verify that you have entered your Application Number and Date of Birth correctly in DD/MM/YYYY format. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again using a different browser or device. If the issue persists, contact the PSSSB helpdesk via email or phone (number available on the official website) with your Application Number.
Q3. I forgot my Application Number. How can I download my admit card?
Ans. The PSSSB portal requires your Application Number to generate your admit card. Check your application confirmation email or any printed document you received after registration. If you cannot locate it, contact the PSSSB helpdesk immediately with your name, date of birth, and email ID to request your Application Number.
Q4. My name is spelled differently on my admit card than on my ID proof. What should I do?
Ans. Contact the PSSSB examination cell or helpdesk as soon as you download the admit card. Bring both your ID proof and the admit card to the exam centre to establish your identity. Many examination boards allow discrepancies if you carry both original documents; however, it is best to resolve this in advance by requesting a correction from PSSSB.
Q5. Can I take a digital/mobile copy of my admit card to the exam instead of a printed one?
Ans. No. PSSSB requires a printed, original copy of your admit card on A4-size paper. Digital or mobile versions are not accepted at the exam centre. Print your admit card immediately after downloading it, and keep at least two copies as backup in case one is damaged or lost.
Q6. What happens if I reach the exam centre after the reporting time shown on my admit card?
Ans. Candidates who arrive after the reporting time may not be permitted to enter the examination hall. The reporting time is strictly enforced by PSSSB to ensure smooth conduct of the exam. Plan your travel in advance and arrive at least 30 minutes before the reporting time to account for traffic or last-minute delays.
Q7. Is my admit card valid without a government-issued photo ID at the exam centre?
Ans. No. You must carry both a printed admit card and a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN Card, Passport, or Driving Licence). Entry into the exam hall is not permitted without both documents, regardless of any reason.
Q8. If the admit card is not released by 22 July, what should I do?
Ans. The admit card is scheduled to release 4-5 days before 26 July 2026. If it is not available by 22 July, visit the official PSSSB website to check for any official announcements regarding delay. Contact the PSSSB helpdesk immediately. Our free job alert service will notify you the moment the admit card is released, so ensure you have subscribed to updates from MyNaukriAlert.com.
