What to do in case of errors?
If any candidate notices a discrepancy in the admit card such as errors in name, photograph, signature or other personal details — they must immediately contact the CTET Unit for correction. CBSE has advised candidates not to wait until the exam day and to get such issues resolved well in advance.
