The ministry revealed that examination centers will now welcome candidates at 7:15 AM, fifteen minutes earlier than the usual time, with access permitted until 8:00 AM. For afternoon sessions, centers will open at 1:45 PM instead of 2:00 PM, allowing entry until 2:30 PM. These adjustments to opening hours are part of comprehensive preparations designed to provide optimal examination conditions across all centers nationwide.
In addition to the revised timings, the ministry reiterated strict regulations regarding electronic devices. Candidates are reminded of their obligation to surrender mobile phones and any electronic communication or data storage devices upon arrival. This measure is crucial for preventing cheating and ensuring adherence to regulations, thereby safeguarding candidates from penalties associated with the unauthorized use of electronic equipment within exam venues.
The Ministry has urged all candidates to exhibit discipline and strictly adhere to the established organizational measures. By fostering an environment of serenity, transparency, and equal opportunity, the ministry aims to facilitate the successful administration of this critical national examination, ensuring a conducive atmosphere for all participants.
