  • If you applied under the PwD quota, you need extra documents: a medical certificate showing your disability and a scribe affidavit if you use one.
  • If your name changed because of marriage, divorce, or something else, bring legal papers and a government-stamped proof of your name change.
  • Don’t bring electronic gadgets, things that aren’t allowed, or food/drink to the exam place.
