How to Download Your Admit Card (For Private Candidates)
If you are a private student, you can download your hall ticket directly from cbse.gov.in. First, visit the official website and click on the “Main Website” link. Next, look for the “Admit Card for Private Candidates” notification. Then, enter your Application Number or your previous Roll Number. Finally, save the PDF and take a color printout for the exam day.
Important Details to Check
Once you have your card, check it carefully for any errors. For instance, verify that your name, date of birth, and subject codes are all correct. Similarly, look for the address of your assigned exam centre. Note that regular students must ensure their school principal has signed the card. Without a valid signature and school stamp, the exam centre may not let you enter.![]()
