Frequently Asked Questions on Exam Travel
1. How early should I arrive at the exam center before reporting time?
Aspirants are strongly advised to reach the exam center 45 to 60 minutes prior to the official Reporting Time to complete biometric attendance, photo matching, and frisking without stress.
2. Is entry permitted after the Gate Closing Time?
Strictly No. Testing agencies including NTA, SSC, UPSC, and TCS iON enforce zero-tolerance gate closure policies. Even a 1-minute delay leads to immediate disqualification.
3. How does the Exam Departure Planner compute ideal departure time?
It calculates transit time based on distance (km) and chosen commute mode (Car, Bus, Train, Metro) plus an essential 45-minute safety buffer against peak morning traffic.
4. What items are strictly prohibited inside examination centers?
Smart watches, Bluetooth earphones, metallic jewellery, calculators, belts with large buckles, bags, wallets, and loose paper sheets are prohibited across all major exams.
