The Board has also clarified that admit cards will not be sent by post. Candidates therefore need to access their E-Admit Cards online and make the necessary arrangements for the examination.
The notice further states that candidature may be affected if a candidate claims eligibility by misrepresentation or conceals material facts. It also mentions impersonation and fraud among matters that may lead to cancellation of candidature and disciplinary action, as deemed appropriate.
