Contacting the National Testing Agency

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made it easy for applicants to contact them if they have any questions or concerns about the upcoming tests. Candidates have several communication avenues to reach out to NTA, whether it’s about their city preference, application specifics, or any other pertinent information. In this article, we will look at the numerous ways candidates can contact NTA to ensure a seamless and hassle-free process.

Exam Centre Allocation That Works

When NTA receives city change options from interested applicants via any of the foregoing modes of contact, it will assign an examination centre in the candidates’ selected city. This guarantees that students are assigned exam centres based on their choices, resulting in a more comfortable and convenient testing environment.

Admit Card Issuance Online

NTA will distribute admission cards to candidates online after exam centres are assigned. These admit cards will be available on the NTA’s separate official test web pages. To obtain their admission cards, candidates need go to the following websites:

Attempts will be made to send SMS to the candidates concerned on their registered cellphone number to confirm the change of exam city and/or to obtain the Admit Card from the above-mentioned Exam portal. Furthermore, these Admit Cards will be accessible at the NTA Help Centre in the Office of the respective City Coordinator for pickup by a candidate who was unable to download the same due to a lack of Internet connectivity. These Admit Cards will also be available at the District Headquarters for pickup by the candidates or anybody authorized by them.
