The process takes a couple of minutes. Follow these steps:

Go to the UPSC candidate portal using the link below.

Click it, and your e-admit card will open on the screen.
Check every detail carefully before saving.

What to Carry to the Exam Centre

Pack these the night before:

Printed copy of the e-admit card
Original photo ID (the one whose number you entered in your application)
Photocopy of that same ID
Black ballpoint pen
Recent passport-size photographs, in case they're asked for

Do not bring your cell phones, smart watches, calculators, or any electronic devices to the examination centre since there is no provision for storing them at the UPSC centre and you could fail the examination.

Tips for Exam Day

Get to your examination centre early. More students have failed because of traffic and other problems rather than tough papers. If the place you are sitting for the GAT exam is not familiar to you, try visiting the place a day before to see where it is located. Go through the instructions that are printed on your admit card. The instructions include how to report to the hall, when to enter, and the things that are not allowed in the examination hall. Make sure to sleep properly the night before because a tired brain will not perform well when answering the GAT paper.

Final Word

Get your admit card right away, go through each detail in the admit card, and get started on your exam day preparation immediately. The little details that often create problems for candidates are usually not taken seriously enough. When it comes to any information updates, do make sure that you refer only to the official UPSC website.
