Is the BSF admit card released for your cadre

How to download the BSF admit card 2026
The admit card opens through a candidate login, not as a public PDF, so keep the credentials you registered with ready. Print it before exam day rather than relying on a phone at the gate.
- Open the BSF admit card login page linked in the Important Links section below.
- Enter the registration or application number and password issued to you at the time of applying.
- Confirm that your name, photograph, cadre, exam date, reporting time and centre address are printed correctly.
- Download the file and take a clear A4 printout, colour preferred.
- Open the mock test link for your cadre and run through it once so the exam interface is familiar.
- Carry the printout with an original photo ID to the centre on the date shown on your own admit card.
What to carry to the BSF exam centre
Entry is refused without the printed admit card and a matching original photo ID, and the reporting time on the admit card is earlier than the exam start time.
| Exam day question | What is required |
|---|---|
| Mandatory documents for BSF exam | Printed admit card plus one original valid photo ID |
| Which ID proof is accepted | Aadhaar, PAN card, driving licence, voter ID or passport |
| Photograph requirement | Passport-size photograph matching the one uploaded at application |
| When to reach the centre | At the reporting time printed on the admit card, ahead of the exam start |
| Items not allowed | Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, Bluetooth devices and written material |
If the BSF login or OTP does not work
The portal sends an OTP to the registered mobile number, and BSF has published a specific instruction for candidates who do not receive it, so this is a known issue rather than something to panic about.
| Login problem | What BSF advises |
|---|---|
| OTP not received on mobile | BSF has issued a note for this case and lists a departmental e-mail on the portal for candidate support |
| Admit card not showing for your cadre | Expected if you are not HC Ministerial or ASI Steno — the current link covers only those two |
| Page failing to load | Usually heavy traffic on release days; the login address itself does not change |
| Details printed wrong | Raise it with BSF through the portal well before the exam date, not on exam morning |
