Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Selecting the wrong entry in the Examination Name dropdown — it must read “Combined Competitive(Main) Examination, 2025”, not the Preliminary examination.
- Typing the date of birth in any format other than DD/MM/YYYY, or a date that differs from the one in your application.
- Waiting for a postal copy of the admit card — APSC does not send one, and the online download is the only mode of issue.
- Downloading a single copy. Print at least two, and keep one spare for all three exam days.
- Not checking your name, photograph, roll number, exam centre and reporting time the day you download the certificate, while there is still time to take a discrepancy up with APSC.
- Carrying a photo ID whose name spelling does not match the admit card, which can cause trouble at the verification desk.
