Admit Card Download and Important Exam Day Instructions
With the schedule now public, the next major step for candidates is the release of the REET Mains 2025 admit card. The hall tickets will be made available for download on the official RSSB website in the coming weeks. Candidates must log in using their registration credentials to access and print their admit cards.
The admit card is a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall. It will contain vital details such as the candidate's name, roll number, exam date, precise shift timing, reporting time, and the full address of the allotted exam centre. Candidates must carry a printed copy of their admit card along with an original, valid photo ID proof (like Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Driving License).
RSSB has emphasized strict adherence to reporting times. Gates to the exam centre will close at the specified time, and late entry will not be permitted under any circumstances. The use of electronic devices like mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, or any study material inside the exam hall is strictly prohibited and will be treated as an unfair means.
What This Means for Aspiring Teachers in Rajasthan
The release of the REET Mains 2025 exam dates brings clarity and allows candidates to plan their final phase of preparation strategically. Aspirants can now align their revision schedules with the specific date of their subject exam. Furthermore, those who need to travel to different districts or cities for the exam can make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance.
This examination is a significant opportunity for securing a teaching position in the state's government schools. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official Rajasthan Staff Selection Board website for any updates, the exact link for admit card download, and any potential changes to the instructions. A disciplined study plan focused on the prescribed syllabus, coupled with careful attention to exam day protocols, will be key to success in the REET Mains 2025.
