Allahabad High Court Private Secretary Grade-I Recruitment Examination 2026 Admit Card

Allahabad High Court Private Secretary Grade-I Admit Card 2026: Overview

The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad has released the Stage-I admit card for the Private Secretary Grade-I Recruitment Examination 2026 under Advertisement Number 01/Private Secretary Grade-I/2026. The hall ticket became available on 13 November 2026, and the Stage-I exam is scheduled for 17 November 2026. The examination agency is Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS), and the recruitment covers 195 vacancies. The admit card is issued online only, so no hard copy will be posted to you.

The exam city intimation slip was released earlier, on 6 November 2026. The slip only tells you the city. The admit card carries your full centre address, so you must download it before travelling. The exam cities are Agra, Bareilly, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Lucknow, Moradabad, Meerut, Noida, Prayagraj and Varanasi.

How to Download the Admit Card Step by Step

Keep your application details ready before you begin. You will need the registration number and the password or other login credential you set while applying.

1. Open the official website, allahabadhighcourt.in.
2. Go to the Private Secretary Grade-I Recruitment Examination 2026 section.
3. Find the Stage-I Admit Card notification dated 13 November 2026.
4. Click the official DigiALM candidate login link.
5. Enter your registration details and login credentials as asked on the page.
6. Submit the details to open your candidate account.
7. Click the admit card link, check the details, and download the PDF.
8. Print it clearly on A4 paper, preferably in good quality.

If the page loads slowly, avoid refreshing repeatedly. Try again after a short while or use a different browser. Always use the link published on the official website, and be careful with look-alike sites.

Details Printed on the Hall Ticket

Your admit card carries the information needed to identify you and place you in the correct session. Expect to see:

• Candidate name and, where printed, parents' names
• Registration number and roll number
• Date of birth and category
• Your photograph and signature
• Name of the examination and the stage (Stage-I)
• Exam date, reporting time and exam timing
• Exam centre name and full address
• Instructions for candidates

The exact layout is set by the organisers, so read every line of your own copy. For the exam pattern, marking scheme and duration, refer to the official notification, as this page does not carry those figures.

Admit Card Verification Checklist

Check the following the moment the PDF downloads, not on the night before the exam:

• Name spelling matches your application and your photo ID.
• Photograph is clear and the face is recognisable.
• Signature is visible and not cut off.
• Date of birth and category are correct.
• Roll number and registration number are both printed.
• Exam date reads 17 November 2026.
• Reporting time and exam timing are printed and noted down.
• Centre address is complete, and the city is one of the ten listed above.
• The centre matches the city on your intimation slip.

If everything is correct, save the PDF in two places, such as your phone and email, and take two printouts.

Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre

• Printed admit card of Stage-I
• Original photo ID proof, such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, passport or driving licence, as permitted in the official notification
• Any additional passport-size photograph if the instructions on the admit card ask for it

The ID name should match the name on the admit card. If there is any difference, sort it out before exam day. Check the instructions printed on your hall ticket for the final list of accepted IDs.

Exam Day Do's and Don'ts

Do

• Carry the admit card and original ID in a folder so they stay flat and clean.
• Follow the instructions of the invigilator and the centre staff.
• Read the on-screen instructions carefully, since the exam is conducted by TCS in a computer-based setting.
• Use only the pen, paper or materials provided by the centre if rough work is allowed.

Don't

• Do not carry mobile phones, smart watches, Bluetooth devices, calculators or any electronic gadget into the hall.
• Do not carry books, notes, loose papers or bags where the centre prohibits them.
• Do not attempt any unfair means. This can lead to cancellation of candidature.
• Do not leave your seat or the hall without permission.

The complete list of permitted and prohibited items is in the instructions on the admit card and the official notification. Follow that list over any general advice.

Reaching the Exam Centre

Look up your centre address a day before the exam. If possible, visit the route beforehand or check it on a map app. Plan to leave early enough to absorb traffic, public transport delays and the time needed to find the entrance. Cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Noida and Prayagraj can have heavy traffic during the morning, so add generous buffer time.

The reporting time on your admit card is different from the exam start time. Reporting time is when you must be at the centre for document checks, frisking and seating. The exam begins later. Use the reporting time printed on your own hall ticket as your arrival deadline, not the start time.

Late entry rules are set by the exam conductor and the organisers. In most computer-based exams, gates close at a fixed time and latecomers may be refused entry. Check the instructions on your admit card for the exact rule, and do not count on any relaxation.

What to Do If There Is an Error on the Admit Card

If your photo is unclear, your name is misspelled or the exam centre looks wrong, act at once.

1. Take a screenshot or keep the PDF showing the error.
2. Collect supporting proof, such as your ID card, your application form copy and a recent passport-size photograph.
3. Look in the official notification and on allahabadhighcourt.in for the helpdesk email or phone number for candidates.
4. Send a short email stating your name, registration number, roll number, and the exact error, with attachments.
5. Follow up on the phone if a helpdesk number is given, and note the date and time of each contact.

The application correction window (3 to 4 April 2026) has closed, so changes to application data are not guaranteed now. Corrections at this stage depend on what the High Court and TCS allow. The official notice does not state a fixed turnaround time, so do not assume one. Raise the issue immediately, and carry your ID, application copy and the printed admit card to the centre on exam day in case the staff need to verify you.

Forgot Your Registration Number?

• Search your email inbox and SMS for the message sent when you submitted the application. It usually carries the registration number.
• Check the application form PDF or fee payment receipt you saved.
• Use the forgot registration number or forgot password option on the DigiALM login page, if one is shown.
• If none of these work, contact the helpdesk given in the official notification with your name, date of birth and mobile number or email used in the application.

If the Admit Card Is Delayed or Not Showing

For this exam the admit card was released on 13 November 2026, so it should be live. If the link does not work for you, first try another browser or device and clear the cache. If it still fails, check the Recruitment section of allahabadhighcourt.in for notices, as any revised date or technical advisory would be published there first. Do not rely on social media posts or messaging groups. Keep checking the official site until you can download your hall ticket, and contact the helpdesk if the problem continues close to the exam date.
