No candidate will be allowed after 10 a.m. and all candidates have to remain inside the examination centres till the test is completed at 12.30 p.m.
If hall tickets cannot be downloaded from the ICET website, such candidates have to contact the Chief Superintendents of their examination centres on Friday and submit two passport sized photographs and pay a fee of Rs. 50 to get a duplicate hall ticket. Only ball pen, of blue or black colour has to be used to mark answers on the OMR answer sheet.
Convener of ICET 2015 Ch.V. Ramachandramurthy said in case of mistakes noticed in the hall ticket, like candidate’s name, father's name, category, date of birth or other information, are noticed on the OMR answer sheet, corrections have to be made in the nominal rolls at the time of examination and not on the OMR answer sheet.
Some candidates have not submitted photograph and as their hall tickets would be without photograph when downloaded, they are required to submit two passport size photographs, attested by a gazetted officer. One photograph is for nominal roll and one for the downloaded e-Hall ticket.
