BSNL JTO Admit Card 2026

The official BSNL examination notification states that candidates must download the CBT admit card from the link provided through the BSNL external examination website before the examination date using their username and password.

• The hall ticket will not be sent by post.

• The hall ticket will not be sent by email.

• The candidate must download it online.

• Check exact centre address, reporting time and shift on the final hall ticket.

• Printed BSNL JTO admit card / hall ticket

• Original valid photo identity proof specified on the admit card

• Additional photograph if the call letter asks for it

• Only items specifically permitted by BSNL/exam agency

Do not assume allowed items. Mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, notes and electronic devices are commonly restricted at CBT centres. Follow the exact prohibited-item list printed on your BSNL hall ticket.

If You Forgot Registration Number or Password

The authorised BSNL admit-card login includes a Recover Registration No / Password option. Candidates should use that recovery facility instead of creating another registration or sharing their personal credentials with an unofficial website.
