NTA manages the testing of thousands of students every year using the biotechnology test in 54 cities throughout India.
Weeks and months of studying come down to a single moment for students. They are looking forward to obtaining their admit cards. NTA has stated they will not send the admit cards by post, so students must download the admit cards from their official website. Students who have problems obtaining their admit cards must not wait until the exam to resolve them, as NTA has provided a specific helpline and email for such issues.
Steps for Downloading the GAT-B and BET 2026 Call Letter
Although downloading the admit card is simple, candidates are encouraged to prepare their login information in advance. The NTA has directed all registered candidates to the official exam portal at https://exams.nta.nic.in/gat-bet/ to obtain their hall tickets. The procedure is uncomplicated. Candidates should navigate to the portal, enter their Application Number and Password, and their admit card will be available on their profile. It is suggested that candidates print their admit card on the same day to avoid any unforeseen problems.
It is the candidates' responsibility to review the information on the downloaded card. The candidates need to ensure that the name, photograph, date of birth, address, and reporting time for the test, etc., match the information submitted during registration. Candidates should raise these discrepancies right away. The NTA has instructed candidates to review the instructions on the admit card and all instructions in the Information Bulletin. These instructions provide information on what to bring to the test venue and what to leave behind. Candidates should review instructions and information to avoid unnecessary problems.
Important Points to Remember For the Exam :
There are several points that the National Testing Agency has highly recommended candidates take note of and abide by. Firstly, the admit card that gets printed is provisional. Therefore, it doesn’t confirm a candidate's eligibility. NTA reserves the right to review every application at a later stage of the admission process. If there are any discrepancies, the applicant may be disqualified. Candidates may not modify the admit card printout in any way, as it must be printed exactly as downloaded. NTA has suggested that candidates keep the admit card securely stored, even after the completion of the examination, as it may be referred to at a later time during the admission cycle.
It is advisable to reach the examination centre well before the scheduled time. A large number of candidates are assigned to 54 exam centres organised by NTA. It may take considerable time to complete the administrative procedures for entry. Delayed reporting for any reason may result in losing the opportunity to appear in the examination. If a candidate has encountered any problems in securing an admit card or needs to report a discrepancy in the information, the candidate can contact the NTA by calling 011-40759000 or 011-69227700, or by emailing dbt@nta.ac.in.
