Other Login Error Fixes for TN 12th Supplementary 2026 Hall Ticket

If the "Forgot Application Number" option does not resolve your issue, try these additional fixes:

  • Wrong DOB format: Always enter date of birth as DD/MM/YYYY. A format mismatch often appears as an "invalid credentials" message rather than a format warning.
  • Browser issues: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload the page. Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox work best on the DGE portal.
  • Portal downtime: The DGE portal can slow down on hall ticket release day due to heavy traffic. Try accessing the portal between 6 AM and 8 AM when server load is lower.
  • Mobile network issues: Switch from mobile data to a Wi-Fi connection if the page keeps timing out or the PDF fails to load.
  • Registered number changed: If you changed your mobile number after registering for the supplementary exam, OTP delivery will fail online. Contact your school or the DGE helpdesk with your registration receipt.
  • Name or detail mismatch: If personal details on the hall ticket differ from your original marksheet, raise a correction request with your school well before the exam date.

DGE Helpdesk Contact Details for Hall Ticket Issues
