What to carry and exam day rules
Bring the printed admit card, a valid photo ID, and a passport-size photograph. Carry only a blue or black ballpoint pen; no electronic devices, watches or items with metal are allowed inside the centre.
For CA Final, it is recommended you carry two copies of the admit card as the invigilator needs to sign and stamp one for records. You can write answers in Hindi only if you chose that option during registration.
