Key elements of the dress code:

• Candidates are encouraged to wear light clothing to facilitate proper frisking.
• Full sleeves and woollen garments are allowed if necessary, but candidates must report early for security checks.
• Footwear should ideally be slippers or low-heeled sandals.
• Transparent water bottles are permissible inside the examination hall.
• Items of faith can be carried but must be reported and inspected.

The NTA advisory emphasizes that heavy, layered, or thick fabric clothing is prohibited. Metal items—including buttons, zips, chains, or any accessories—are not allowed. Hoodies, jackets, or full-sleeve T-shirts fall under this restriction as well. The NTA has urged all candidates to adhere to these instructions and cooperate with the examination staff to ensure a hassle-free examination process.

As stated by the agency, “The key rule is to keep clothing light, simple, and non-restrictive to ensure smooth security checks at the exam centre.” This approach aims to maintain order during the exam while treating all students equally across various centres.

For any clarifications regarding the exam day instructions or permissible items, candidates can contact the NTA helpline at 011-40759000 or 011-69227700. Compliance with these guidelines will be essential for a successful examination experience.
