• Email/SMS: NIELIT will also send a confirmation message to your registered email and mobile number. Keep these safely until you receive your certificate.

Common Form-Filling Mistakes to Avoid

• Name Mismatch: Spelling your name differently than it is on your Aadhaar Card. This can lead to being barred from the exam.
• Wrong DOB: Selecting the wrong year or month by mistake. Always double-check.
• Blurry Uploads: Uploading a dark or cut-off photo or signature. The system may reject your form.
• Wrong Exam Medium: Accidentally selecting Hindi when you want to give the exam in English (or vice versa). This cannot be changed later.
• Payment Delay Panic: Sometimes the payment status takes a few hours to update. Do not pay twice immediately. Wait and check the portal later.

Important Instructions

• Apply well before the last date of the month to avoid server crashes due to heavy traffic.
• One candidate can only submit one application form per exam cycle. Multiple forms will be rejected.
• The admit card (hall ticket) will be available for download on the portal 5-7 days before your exam date. NIELIT will not mail it to your home.
• Ensure you select the correct exam month. If you miss the exam, you will have to pay the fee again for the next month.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. I have done a spelling mistake in my name at the time of final submission. Can I rectify that?
It is not possible to rectify the details like Name and DOB after final submission. You have to submit the form afresh and make the payment too for the next cycle.

Q2. Payment has been deducted from my account, but on the portal it is showing “Payment Pending”. What needs to be done?
Do not get panic. It happens sometimes due to the delay of banks to update their servers. After 2 days, check the portal and if you still find it pending, contact the NIELIT support team with your transaction ID.

Q3. Can I use the photocopied copy of my Aadhaar card for uploading?
Scan your Aadhaar card properly. Mobile phone scan (photograph) is good provided the text and photograph is legible enough.

Q4. Do I need to post the printed form to the NIELIT office?
No, it is an online application process only and no physical submission is required.

Q5. Is the examination application fee refundable?
No, the examination fee once paid is non-refundable and non-transferable to any other exam cycle.
