How to download and read your admit card (step-by-step)
The board will issue separate admit cards for the supplementary exam. You can get yours either through your school or by checking the board website.
Steps to check/download: 1. Visit rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in and look for the Supplementary/Additional Exam section. The date sheet and admit-card notices are published there in PDF format. 2. If the board provides a direct admit-card download, use your roll number and basic details as requested. Otherwise, contact your school office — many schools will receive admit cards and distribute them to students. 3. On the admit card, verify: your name, roll number, subject name(s), exam centre address, reporting time and any centre-specific instructions.
What to do if details are wrong: contact your school immediately. The admit card is mandatory for entry.
Reporting rules, shift timing and what to carry
The board has fixed a single shift for all theory papers.
- Shift timing: 08:30 AM to 11:45 AM (morning shift). Report at least 30 minutes earlier — arriving on time is critical because late entry into the exam hall is not allowed.
- Exam duration: 3 hours 15 minutes for theory papers.
Carry with you: - Your admit card (original). - A valid photo ID proof (Aadhaar is recommended). - Blue or black pen and a pencil for diagrams if required.
Do NOT carry: - Calculators, mobile phones or any electronic gadgets. - Any written notes or printed material other than the permitted stationery.
Centre rules: follow seating instructions and the invigilator’s directions. The board strictly enforces no-entry for latecomers and bans electronic devices.
Practical exams and vocational papers — what the date sheet shows
The date sheet published lists the theory papers over three days. For many vocational subjects or practical components the official timetable either lists them under the same dates (as vocational theory) or will provide separate instructions.
If you have a practical exam component, check the official PDF and your school noticeboard. If the date sheet does not show a separate practical schedule, your school should inform you about centre-level practical arrangements.
Re-appearing rules and eligibility (who can sit the supplementary)
The supplementary exam is meant for students who were eligible to re-appear after the main exams. Specifically: - Students who failed in one or two subjects in the main March examination because they did not reach the 33% passing mark in those subjects can sit the supplementary papers listed in the date sheet.
If you are unsure about your eligibility, confirm with your school. Schools will have the board’s list of eligible candidates and will guide you on registration or admit-card distribution.
What the date sheet does NOT cover (and where to check)
The official date sheet gives the day-wise theory timetable. It does not replace your admit card, which carries your personal exam centre, roll number and entry time. For: - Centre address, roll number and seat arrangement — rely on the admit card. - Any special instructions for practical exams or vocational assessments — check school notices or the official PDF closely.
Always follow the official PDF and your school’s communication for centre-specific details.
A 7-day checklist before your supplementary paper
You have a short window between now and exam day. Use this checklist in the final week: 1. Day 7: Download your admit card and verify the details. Plan travel to the exam centre. 2. Day 6: Gather ID proof and stationery; prepare a simple exam kit (pens, pencils, eraser, water bottle). 3. Day 5: Revise high-weight topics and previous year questions for the paper you are appearing in. 4. Day 4: Do a full timed practice paper (3 hours 15 minutes) to pace yourself. 5. Day 3: Light revision and clear doubts with a teacher or peer. Confirm centre route and travel time. 6. Day 2: Organise documents and clothes; get a good night’s sleep. 7. Day 1 (exam morning): Reach the centre at least 30 minutes early with admit card and ID.
These tasks are practical steps; the board’s window is small so small preparations matter.
Result expectations and next steps after the exam
The board will declare supplementary results later on its official portal. Keep checking rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in for result dates and instructions. Your school will also receive the result details and help with marksheets or migration certificates if needed.
If you still fail a subject after the supplementary, speak to your school about options: further re-appear chances or study plans for the next academic step.
Travel, documents and health protocols on exam day
Plan your travel so you arrive well before the reporting time. Carry a printed admit card and original photo ID (Aadhaar or other government ID). If you rely on public transport, allow extra buffer time for delays.
Follow any exam-centre instructions regarding hygiene or seating. The board enforces strict rules — quick compliance keeps the process smooth for everyone.
Reading the date sheet: what to check line by line
When you open the official PDF, look for these fields: - Date and day of the paper (confirm which date matches your subject). - Paper name and code (match with your admit card). - Shift and timing (08:30–11:45 is the official theory timing).
If you see any mismatch between the PDF and your admit card, your admit card is the decisive document for centre and roll number. Contact school immediately for corrections.
