IAS Admit Card

The UPSC Civil Services Examination (IAS) e-Admit Card is published on upsc.gov.in about two to three weeks before the examination and is downloaded from the Commission's website, not posted to candidates.

How to download

1. Go to upsc.gov.in and open the e-Admit Card link for this examination.
2. Log in with your Registration ID or Roll Number together with your date of birth.
3. Check every detail — name, photograph, centre, subject and date.
4. Download and print it. Keep a spare copy; you will need the admit card at later stages too.

If there is a discrepancy

UPSC asks candidates to report any discrepancy in the e-Admit Card immediately, and provides a dedicated facilitation counter and email for it. Do not wait until the examination day — a mismatch between the admit card and your photo identity can cost you the sitting.

What to carry

• The printed e-Admit Card
• The same original photo identity document whose number you entered in the application — Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN, Passport or Driving Licence
• Black ball point pen; UPSC prescribes it for the objective papers

Candidates are not admitted without the printed admit card and matching original photo identity.
