10 Important Details to Verify on Your Hall Ticket
After downloading your hall ticket, cross-check each of the following 10 details against your registration data and original ID documents. Report any discrepancy to NTA immediately — errors are not corrected at the exam centre on the day of the exam.
| # | Detail to Verify | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Full Name | Must match exactly with your government-issued photo ID — check spelling, initials, and spacing |
| 2 | Application Number / Roll Number | Cross-check against your SWAYAM registration confirmation email or dashboard |
| 3 | Date of Birth | Should match your Aadhaar or birth certificate exactly — a wrong DOB blocks portal login too |
| 4 | Course Name and Course Code | Verify every course you enrolled in is listed — a missing or wrong course code must be flagged immediately |
| 5 | Exam Date | Confirm the date matches the schedule NTA published for your enrolled course(s) |
| 6 | Exam Time Slot | Note whether you have a morning or afternoon shift and plan your travel to the centre accordingly |
| 7 | Exam Centre Name and Full Address | Locate the centre on a map before exam day — verify city, area, and PIN code are correct |
| 8 | Exam Centre Code | Should match the centre you selected or were allotted during the registration process |
| 9 | Photograph | Must be a clear, recent, front-facing photo — a blurry, dark, or incorrect photo requires an immediate correction request |
| 10 | Signature | Your scanned signature must be visible and legible — an absent or mismatched signature needs correction before the exam |
Quick check tip: Place the printed hall ticket side by side with your Aadhaar card. Spot any name, date-of-birth, or photograph difference in seconds and act on it before the correction deadline.
Common Hall Ticket Errors and How to Fix Them
These are the most frequently reported discrepancies on NTA SWAYAM hall tickets and the recommended steps to resolve each one:
| Error Type | Likely Cause | How to Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Name spelling mismatch | Typo during online registration | Email NTA with a scanned copy of your Aadhaar and registration form; request a name correction before the deadline |
| Course not listed or wrong course | Wrong course code entered at registration | Contact NTA helpdesk with proof of SWAYAM course enrollment (enrollment confirmation or portal screenshot) |
| Incorrect exam centre | System allotment error or data entry mistake | Raise a correction request through the official portal within the announced window; centre changes are subject to NTA approval |
| Blurry or wrong photograph | Low-resolution or incorrect image uploaded during registration | Submit a correction request with a clear photograph meeting NTA specifications (JPG format, 10–200 KB, white background) |
| Date of birth incorrect | Wrong entry in the online registration form | Send a correction request to NTA with DOB proof (Aadhaar or birth certificate as attachment) |
| Missing or illegible signature | Low-contrast or too-small image uploaded | Raise a correction request through the portal with a fresh, high-contrast scanned signature image |
To contact NTA for corrections: Use the official helpdesk portal at exams.nta.nic.in/swayam or email the NTA support address listed on the portal. Always attach scanned copies of all supporting documents with your request. NTA does not process correction requests after the stated deadline — act as soon as you spot an error.
Documents to Carry on Exam Day
Students who arrive at the exam centre without the required documents are not permitted to sit the exam under any circumstances. Carry the following:
- Printed NTA SWAYAM January 2026 Hall Ticket — colour printout on A4 paper, no scaling or cropping.
- Original photo ID (any one): Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving Licence.
- The name and date of birth on the ID must match the hall ticket exactly.
- A passport-size photograph (same as uploaded during registration) may be required at some centres for the attendance sheet.
Do not bring electronic devices (other than what the centre explicitly permits), textbooks, notebooks, or calculators into the exam hall. Prohibited items will be seized and may lead to disqualification.
Report at least 30 minutes before your exam slot. Gates are closed once the exam begins and late arrivals are not accommodated under NTA’s standard exam rules.
