The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released a notification stating that the admit cards can be downloaded from May 15 to May 23. The registration process for the examination was completed on May 7.

It is mandatory for the candidates to carry their admit cards to the examination centre on the day of JEE Advanced. They can download their admit cards by following the steps mentioned below:
