SSC computer-based test day checklist with biometric, photo ID and admit card reminders plus a gate-closing reporting plan.
This checklist covers what an SSC computer-based test actually demands at the door: a printed admit card with a pasted photograph, an original photo ID, a spare photograph, and fingers clean enough for the biometric thumb impression captured at entry. It also builds a reporting plan backwards from the gate closing time, which SSC sets 30 minutes before the test begins, so the departure time you get already contains travel, frisking and verification.

Flags the mehandi and coated-finger problem that makes thumb scans fail at the desk.
Counts back from gate closing 30 minutes before the test, which is the deadline that actually matters.
Shows the documents SSC recognises in original, so there is no argument at verification.
Thirty minutes before the test begins. Your admit card prints both a reporting time, usually about an hour before, and the gate closing time — after the gate closes, candidates are not admitted.
A printout of the admit card with a recent passport photograph pasted on it, one spare photograph, and an original valid photo identity document. Aadhaar or an e-Aadhaar printout is the preferred ID; a photo of the document on your phone is not accepted.
Yes. A thumb impression and a photograph are captured at the centre, which is why SSC asks candidates not to have mehandi, henna or any coating on the fingers — it can make the scan fail and delay your entry.
No. Calculators, watches of every kind including smart watches, mobile phones, bluetooth devices, books and notes are all barred. Rough sheets and a pen-and-paper facility are provided at the desk and must be returned before you leave.
