✅ 1. What is an Admit Card?

An admit card is a very important document given to a candidate who has applied for an exam. It is an entry pass that allows you to go inside the exam center and sit in the examination hall.

It contains:

• Your full name
• Roll number
• Date of the exam
• Time of the exam
