BSF has also stated that the e-admit card link is being sent by email and to the mobile number given in the online application. Check your inbox, spam folder and messages as a second route to your hall ticket.

Details Printed on the Hall Ticket

Expect to see the following on your admit card. Read each one carefully, because the admit card is your entry pass to the CBT.

• Candidate's name and roll number
• Date of birth and category
• Recent photograph
• Candidate's signature or space for it
• Exam name, date and shift timing
• Exam centre name and address
• Instructions for the candidate

The official notice states that the reporting time and the list of documents to carry are not mentioned in the notice itself. Both are to be read from the instructions printed on your admit card, so do not rely on forum posts or messages for these.

Exam Pattern at a Glance

The written exam is a Computer Based Test of 100 questions carrying 100 marks, with a total duration of 2 hours. The paper has four sections of 25 questions each:

• General Awareness / General Knowledge: 25 questions, 25 marks
• Knowledge of Elementary Mathematics: 25 questions, 25 marks
• Analytical Aptitude and Ability to Observe Distinguished Patterns: 25 questions, 25 marks
• Basic Knowledge of English or Hindi: 25 questions, 25 marks

There is negative marking: one-fourth (1/4) of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for each wrong answer. Qualifying marks are 35% for UR, EWS and Ex-Servicemen, and 33% for SC, ST and OBC. The notice adds that no minimum qualifying marks are prescribed for individual tests or for the aggregate score, and that section-wise marks will not be maintained.

Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre

The official notice does not list the documents, so the admit card instructions are the authority. As a practical minimum, carry:

• A clear printout of your admit card
• The original photo identity proof named in the admit card instructions
• Any other document the admit card specifically asks for

Keep these in a folder the night before so nothing is missed on exam morning.

Exam Day Do's and Don'ts

Do

• Download the admit card only from rectt.bsf.gov.in.
• Follow every instruction printed on the admit card.
• Manage your time across all four sections, since each carries 25 marks.
• Attempt questions carefully, as each wrong answer costs one-fourth of its marks.

Don't

• Do not carry items the admit card instructions prohibit. Check the printed list for what is and is not allowed inside the hall.
• Do not attempt questions by random guessing, given the negative marking.
• Do not share your login details or admit card with anyone.

Admit Card Verification Checklist

Check these fields the moment the file downloads, not on the night before the exam:

• Name spelling matches your application and identity proof
• Roll number matches the one in your earlier communication
• Date of birth is correct
• Category is correct
• Photograph is visible and recognisable
• Signature is present where required
• Exam date shows 2 December 2026
• Exam centre name and address are complete
• Reporting and exam timing are clearly printed

Confirm the print is sharp. A faded printout can cause trouble at the gate.

Reaching the Exam Centre

The reporting time is printed on your admit card, and it is separate from the exam start time. Plan to arrive by the reporting time, not the start time. Visit or locate the centre on a map in advance, check the route and leave with a generous buffer for traffic, public transport delays and the entry checks. The official notice does not describe the policy for late arrivals, so read the instructions on your admit card. Do not assume that late entry will be allowed.

If Your Photo Is Unclear, Name Is Misspelled or Centre Is Wrong

1. Do not ignore the error. Take a screenshot or keep the downloaded PDF as proof.
2. Open the official notice (PDF) linked on the admit card page and look for the helpdesk email, phone number or grievance contact.
3. Write to that contact from your registered email ID. Mention your name, roll number, date of birth and the exact error.
4. Attach a scan of your identity proof and, for a photo issue, a fresh passport-size photograph.
5. Keep a copy of your message and any reply.

The source notice does not state a correction deadline or a turnaround time, so no timeline can be promised. Raise the issue immediately after downloading, because the exam is on 2 December 2026 and the link is listed live until the same date. Carry your identity proof and the application details to the exam venue as well.

Forgot Your Roll Number?

Login needs your roll number, date of birth and the security PIN. If you do not know your roll number, check the email or message sent to your registered email ID and mobile number. BSF is sending the e-admit card link and related communication to those contacts. Search your inbox and spam folder for messages from BSF. If nothing is found, contact the helpdesk given in the official notice.

If the Admit Card Is Delayed or Not Visible

The admit card was scheduled for 17 November 2026. If the link does not open or does not show for you:

• Refresh the page, try another browser or clear the cache.
• Try again at a different time, since heavy traffic can slow the site.
• Visit rectt.bsf.gov.in and check the Important Links and notice sections for updates.
• Check the email and SMS sent to your registered contacts.
• Open the official admit card notice PDF for any revised instructions.
