Admit card and exam day checklist (recommended)
Carry these items to the exam centre:
- Printed copy of your Agniveer Vayu admit card (clear printout).
- A valid photo ID in original (Aadhaar card, passport, or driving licence).
- One recent passport-size photograph (same as application photo if possible).
Do NOT carry mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, study material, or other electronic devices into the exam hall unless the admit card specifically permits them (most centres prohibit these items).
Arrival tips:
- Reach the exam centre early to allow time for security and identity checks.
- Follow any health or safety instructions printed on the admit card or announced at the centre.
Exam pattern, marking scheme and normalisation
Phase I is an online objective-type test. Questions are bilingual (Hindi and English) except for the English paper, which will be in English only.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Test mode | Online objective-type (Phase I) |
| Language | Bilingual (Hindi & English); English paper only in English |
| Marks per correct answer | +1 |
| Marks for unattempted question | 0 |
| Negative marking | −0.25 per wrong answer |
| Score processing | Normalisation of marks will be applied |
Why normalisation? When tests run in multiple shifts or versions, normalisation balances differences in difficulty across sessions. It ensures your score is comparable to other candidates even if you took a slightly easier or harder shift.
How to handle negative marking:
- Attempt questions you are reasonably sure about. Random guessing will likely reduce your score because of the −0.25 penalty.
- Use the first pass to answer high-confidence items, mark the rest for review, and then return if time allows.
- Practice sectional time allocation in mocks so you know when to move on from a tough question.
Login portals and credential security
