For this exam, 57 examination centers have been set up in Raigarh district, where approximately 16,091 candidates will participate. At each examination center, one male and one female police personnel will be assigned for frisking. Frisking of female candidates will be conducted only by female police personnel.

Collector Mayank Chaturvedi has issued 15 clear guidelines in compliance with the instructions of the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board. It is mandatory for candidates to follow the instructions listed below.
Under the issued directives, candidates have been instructed to visit their examination center one day prior to the exam to avoid any inconvenience on the exam day. They should arrive at least 2 hours before the exam starts for frisking and verification of identity documents. The main gate of the examination center will be closed 30 minutes before the exam begins. Candidates must wear light-colored half-sleeved clothes. Wearing clothes of black, dark blue, dark green, purple, maroon, violet, or dark chocolate color is prohibited.
Candidates wearing religious or cultural attire must report to the examination center earlier than the normal time. They will have to undergo additional security checks, and only then will they be allowed to enter the examination hall. Only slippers are permitted as footwear. Wearing any type of ear jewelry is prohibited. Leaving the examination hall is prohibited during the first half hour after the exam starts and the last half hour before the exam ends.

Carrying any type of communication device, electronic device, electronic watch, purse, pouch, scarf, belt, hat, etc., into the examination hall is strictly prohibited. Take a printout of all pages of the admit card and print on only one side of each page, as a copy for each exam will be deposited at the examination center by Vyapam. It is mandatory for the candidate to bring one original photo identity document—Voter ID card, Driving License, PAN Card, or Aadhaar Card—along with the admit card on the exam day. Entry will not be granted at the examination center without presenting the original identity document, for which the candidate will be solely responsible.
If the photo does not appear on the admit card obtained from the internet, the candidate must bring two colored passport-size photos to the examination center.
Candidates must bring only a black or blue ballpoint pen to the examination hall for marking answers. The admit card is required during selection and entry, so it must be kept safely. Vyapam will not reissue the admit card. Candidates failing to comply with the instructions will be barred from taking the exam. Strict action will be taken against the use of unfair means in the exam, and candidature will be terminated.
