Ans. Contact the SSB recruitment authorities immediately and provide proof of the error (your identity document showing the correct spelling or photograph). Submit your complaint through the official portal or directly to the examination cell. Corrections are usually processed before the exam date, but do not delay. Report the error as soon as you download the admit card.
Q5. Can I enter the exam centre without a printed admit card if I show it on my phone?
Ans. No. You must carry a printed admit card. A soft copy or digital image displayed on your phone will not be accepted. Print your admit card on paper (preferably coloured) at least 2-3 days before the exam.
Q6. What is the reporting time, and is it the same as the exam start time?
Ans. The reporting time is printed on your admit card and is the time you must arrive at the exam centre. It is different from the exam start time, which comes later. Arrive by the reporting time or earlier; arriving after the reporting time may result in entry denial.
Q7. The admit card download link is not working. What should I do?
Ans. Try accessing the portal from a different browser or device. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry.
