IBPS Clerk — last-minute checklist

🎒 What to carry

• ✅Admit card (hall ticket / call letter), printed — the instructions printed on it override anything on this page
• ✅Original photo ID with the same name as your admit card (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport or driving licence — your admit card lists which it accepts); a photocopy alone is not enough
• ✅Leave your phone, smartwatch, earphones and other electronic gadgets at home or outside — they are not allowed in the exam hall, and do not count on a cloakroom at the centre
• ✅Reporting time and gate-closing time are printed on your admit card — late entry is refused, so plan to reach well before
• 🔎Banking call letters usually ask for a photograph pasted on the call letter and a photocopy of your photo ID along with the original — do exactly what your call letter says
• 🔎Pen and rough sheet: computer-based tests generally provide them at the centre — carry your own only if your admit card says so
• 🔎Transparent water bottle, sanitiser or a simple wrist watch: allowed at some exams and banned at others — check your admit card before you pack
• 🔎Using a scribe or compensatory time? Carry the certificate and the scribe's own photo ID in the format your admit card or notice asks for

✅ true of every exam hall · 🔎 varies by exam — check your admit card or notice. The night before: no new topics, and sleep.
