NPTEL releases hall tickets for October 2026 certification examinations

The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning has commenced releasing hall tickets for its upcoming October 2026 semester certification examinations. Admit cards are being made available in phases for candidates enrolled across various test cities in the country.

The phased rollout affects hundreds of thousands of registered students who are preparing to appear for proctored written assessments during the current examination cycle. Organisers stated that admit cards for initial examination dates are being dispatched progressively to manage server traffic and accommodate the high volume of candidates.

Out of 244 designated examination cities nationwide, documentation for 183 cities has been partially issued for tests scheduled on October 16, 17, and 18. Organiser figures indicate that hall tickets for 599,265 candidates out of a total registration pool of 1,271,772 students have been cleared for download in the opening phase.

Registered individuals can retrieve their admission documents by logging into the official portal using their registered email identification and specific account credentials. Authorities have advised candidates to verify printed details carefully, including their assigned test centre address, reporting time, shift timings, and specific course codes.

Examinations are scheduled across multiple dates in two daily shifts, with the forenoon session operating from 9 am to 12 pm and the afternoon session running from 2 pm to 5 pm. Candidates appearing for multiple papers on the same day will receive separate hall tickets for each individual session.

Students who have not yet received their download links or whose cities appear in subsequent batches have been advised to monitor their registered email accounts. Organisers confirmed that all remaining hall tickets for later examination dates will be published progressively.

Examinees must carry a physical, printed copy of the hall ticket alongside a valid government-issued photo identification card to gain entry into the examination hall. Digital copies displayed on mobile phones or electronic devices will not be accepted by test centre invigilators.
