Important Instructions
- Candidates who do not complete the district-centre selection process will have their exam centre decided based on the correspondence address given in their application.
- If a chosen district centre cannot be operated, or if candidates exceed a centre's seating capacity, the Commission will allot candidates to the next nearest available district centre.
- Once a district centre or exam sub-centre is selected by the candidate, or allotted by the Commission, no request for change will be entertained under any circumstances.
- All other terms and conditions of the original notification (017/2026) remain unchanged.
