When filling out the form, the candidate should compulsorily choose THREE cities in the order of preference. 

Please note that there is no option to select an exam centre when filling out the form; the candidate can only select an exam city.

Also, an exam city will have one or more exam centres.

Note that exam officials have the authority to drop a city in some cases.

“If a sufficient number of candidates are unavailable in a city, that city may be dropped from the final list, and candidates will be allotted to a city of their second or third choice.”

• Sample papers are useful for improving one's problem-solving and time-management skills.
