AIBE XXI (21) Exam Day Guidelines

The exam-day guidelines are described below. Note that candidates can find these guidelines mentioned on their AIBE 2026 admit card too.  

1. Last-minute exam tips - Candidates are advised to do a quick revision of important points. Not to read any new topics as it will create undue pressure and eat into valuable revision time. 
2. Reporting time - Report at the allotted AIBE exam center at least an hour before the commencement of exams.
3. Carry these items with you - Two black (or blue) ballpoint pens to mark answers on OMR sheet, admit card, photo ID, and Bare Acts
4. Avoid taking these items to the exam centre - Electronic items like smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets; Jewellery or any other valuables
5. Before exam-starts - Follow the instructions given by the invigilator and carefully read the instructions given in the question booklet.
6. Taking the exam - Candidates are advised to start with the easy questions first; to ensure they do not miss out on sure-shot marks. Also, if they are not able to solve a question, they do not get stuck and panic. Once they are done with the rest of the questions, come back and give it a second shot. 
7. How to do time management - Time seems to fly when aspirants are taking an exam! But if they want to slow it down and ensure they can attempt all the 100 questions, they are advised to declutter their mind and stay focused. Don't let the mind linger; also, get rid of the negativity. Keep saying to yourself I can do it. Once the exam paper is in front of you, take one question at a time; don't look or think too far ahead. Stay in the moment. Remember the composure you show now is going to reap rich rewards. Follow the tips mentioned in the earlier point: start with the easy questions and then move on to the rest; don't waste time on difficult questions (especially at the start).
