Admit Card Correction Application

When and how to use this letter

Exam centers match your admit card against your identity document at the gate, so even a small error in the name, photograph, or subjects can cause trouble on exam day. Report the mistake the day you receive the card by submitting this application to your school's examinations in-charge; the office cancels the faulty card and issues a corrected one, usually within a few days. Attach a passport-size photograph if the photo is wrong, and an identity document copy if a name or date is wrong.

Be precise about the correction. Write the wrong detail and the correct detail side by side in the letter, exactly as this template does, so the clerk makes the intended change in one pass rather than guessing. If the subjects on the card are wrong, double-check your examination form as well, since subject errors sometimes originate there and need a separate correction.

A tip for exam week: never assume a minor error will be overlooked at the center. Superintendents are strict about admit-card matching, and being turned away from the gate is far worse than a day spent getting the card corrected. Collect the corrected card in person and verify every field before leaving the counter.
