• Visit your JEE Main exam centre a day before the exam to familiarise yourself with the location and assess factors like time and distance.

• Ensure you reach the test centre at least half an hour before the reporting time mentioned in your JEE Main 2023 admit Card. Candidates, reporting after the gate closes, will not be allowed to enter the test venue. Candidates will be undergoing various mandatory processes, thus reaching on time is important.
• Candidates must write their name and roll number at the top of the sheet and must return the sheets and admit card to the Invigilator, before leaving the exam hall.
• Enter your required details in the attendance sheet in legible handwriting, put your signature, Left Hand Thumb Impression and paste the Photograph at the appropriate place. The Left-Hand Thumb Impression is clear and not smudged.
