The MPPSC Prelims exam requires candidates to strictly follow updated guidelines for a smooth examination experience. Understanding these rules is crucial for all test-takers. This blog details essential pre-examination instructions, security protocols, allowed items, and the step-by-step entry process at the examination centers.
Candidates must arrive at the examination center at least 1.5 hours prior to the exam's start. Important information regarding allowed and prohibited items will be displayed near the entrance, and candidates must strictly follow these instructions.
The examination centers will implement stringent security measures. These include biometric authentication, admit card scanning, and searches using Hand-Held Metal Detectors (HHMD). Frisking procedures are also in place, ensuring that male candidates are frisked by male invigilators and female candidates by female invigilators.
Candidates are allowed to carry only a few specific items into the examination hall:
A ballpoint pen
A transparent water bottle
Their e-admit card
An ID card
The commission has provided a clear flowchart for the entry process into the examination center:
Entry to the examination center will begin at 8:30 AM.
Candidates must first review the list of allowed and prohibited items displayed prominently near the entrance.
Any prohibited items must be deposited at the designated item deposit counter, and candidates will receive a token for their belongings.
Frisking will be conducted next. Female candidates will be frisked in a dedicated cabin, while male candidates will be frisked openly.
E-admit cards will be scanned, and the embedded QR code will be verified to confirm authenticity.
Iris Biometric Authentication and Face Recognition Authentication will be performed. If there are any issues with the biometric or face recognition process, N.A. (Not Applicable) will be marked on the admit card, and entry will still be granted.
After successful verification of both the admit card and the candidate's identity, a holographic sticker will be affixed to the admit card, completing the entry process.
Candidates should note the specific timings for entering the examination hall for each session:
Session 1: Entry is permitted from approximately 11:15 AM.
Session 2: Entry is permitted from approximately 1:30 PM.
