The official admit card notice does not publish a full permitted/disallowed item list. Still, common rules at exam centres usually apply:
- Do not carry mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, earphones, or any electronic gadgets into the exam hall unless expressly permitted.
- Pens and stationery: carry black/blue ballpoint pens unless the admit card or centre staff provide them.
- Follow any dress or bag-check instructions printed on your admit card.
If you have medical needs or require special arrangements, carry supporting documents and reach the centre early to discuss with staff. The admit card does not list a helpline; retain screenshots of the admit card and your application confirmation.
Common Problems & Troubleshooting (Login, Download, Discrepancies)
Login failures

- If a password reset option exists on the portal, use it. If not, try different browsers or clear cache and cookies before retrying.
- Try downloading outside peak hours — early morning or late evening.
PDF or download issues
- Disable pop-up blockers and allow downloads in your browser.
- If the file doesn’t open, download it and then open the saved PDF with a dedicated reader app.
Discrepancies on the admit card
- If your name, roll number, photo or exam centre is incorrect, the official notice does not publish a helpline number. Take screenshots of the wrong admit card, your application confirmation and payment receipt (if any).
- Check the recruitment portal for an online grievance or contact form. If an official email or portal is available, send a clear mail with attachments and subject line mentioning your registration number and the discrepancy.
What to do if you cannot find your admit card
- Confirm you applied successfully and payment (if any) was completed.
- Re-attempt login with both Registration No. and Login ID formats — sometimes portals accept either.
- If still not available, note that the official notice does not list a helpline here; check the recruitment section on bombayhighcourt.nic.in for any updates or notices.
What This Page Does NOT Cover (Candidates Should Note)
- There is no city-wise list of exam centre addresses here — check your downloaded admit card for the exact venue.
- The official admit card notice does not publish a helpline phone or contact email; if you need help, check the recruitment portal for contact options.

- Carry your original photo ID and a photocopy. If you claimed category/PwD benefits, carry original certificates.
- Carry two extra passport-size photos and a couple of black/blue pens.

- Reach at least 30–45 minutes before 09:00 am to complete security and entry formalities.
Useful Reminders for Specific Posts
- If you applied for Clerk posts (largest number of vacancies), expect higher competition — double-check your admit card details early.
- Peon and Driver candidates should verify centre specifics; driver tests in past drives sometimes included vehicle-related verification on a separate day — the admit card will note any such instructions if required.
- Stenographer (Lower and Higher) posts: ensure your admit card explicitly states your grade (Lower or Higher) and the shift timing.
