Here are some extra pointers to keep in mind:

1. You’ll need to upload a scanned copy of your relevant Govt. ID. Check the picture on the ID and ensure it is new. An old photo that does not match your current face will land you in trouble on exam day.
2. You’ll also need to set up three security questions for MFA purposes. Before the exam, one of these three questions will be asked to authenticate you.
3. Many times, candidates end up choosing the wrong time zone. Check if your timezone is right because you won’t be able to alter it later.
4. You’ll be able to download the admit card from your dashboard itself.
