• Candidates will not be allowed to leave the examination premises until the entire duration of the exam is up with the exception of genuine medical conditions. 
• Have adequate sleep followed by a healthy breakfast and a light lunch. Do not eat too much, as you would want to avoid the risk of falling asleep during the exam.

  • Not finding a cab / public transport on time.
  • Not finding a place to keep your wallet / mobile phone.
  • Not finding a restroom.
  • Not finding the correct location.

• If possible have a friend or family member accompany you. If this is not possible, just be extra prepared.
• Exam centres might not have a secure facility to store your belongings. So it is better not to bring any valuable items with you.

At the exam centre:

• All candidates at the centre shall be frisked by security guards and biometric information shall be captured.
• The NBE and other staff at the exam centers are generally friendly and compassionate. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
• Under no circumstances get into an argument with the staff member there.
• Sweaters might be allowed especially in severe winter, as per discretion of the centre. No information regarding this is available yet.
• Many students prefer to revise the notes until the last minute. This is a good strategy and will keep you away from unnecessary thoughts, anxiety, and distraction.
• Keep your admit card and photo ID card at all times during the conduct of the examination.

During the exam:

• Be familiar with the exam software. If you are not yet familiar you can check any Marrow mock test on the website (www.marrow.com) or the demo on the NBE website.
• No rough paper for any rough work shall be provided at the centre. This might prove a little difficult, especially with problem-based questions. So be prepared for some mental calculation!
• Each workstation will be blocked on three sides – front, left and right, and there will be surveillance cameras
• The use of keyboard during the exam is strictly prohibited. Wherever use of keyboard is needed a virtual keyboard will appear on screen automatically.
