WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Exam Day Entry Rules and Instructions
Following these rules on exam day avoids gate delays and protects your attempt from being disallowed.
- Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the exam start time — gates are typically sealed 15 minutes before the exam begins and no entry is permitted after that.
- Dress code: Wear light-coloured, simple clothing. Avoid clothes with large embroidery, badges, or bulky buttons that could conceal items.
- Footwear: Open sandals or flat slippers are recommended; avoid high heels or thick-soled closed shoes.
- Remove metallic jewellery at home before leaving — this saves time during the mandatory frisking at the gate.
- All students undergo physical frisking at the exam venue entry — carry nothing from the prohibited list.
- Mobile phones must not be brought inside the exam building at all — deposit them at home or in your vehicle.
- Read every instruction on the admit card carefully — individual exam centres may have additional entry requirements.
