Students appearing for the exams must carry their AP SSC Hall Ticket 2026, which was released earlier this month on the official BSEAP website. The hall ticket contains important information such as the candidate’s name, roll number, exam schedule, and allotted examination centre. Entry to the examination hall will not be allowed without the hall ticket.

Students have been instructed to reach their exam centres at least one hour before the scheduled start time. The early reporting time allows authorities to complete identity verification, seating arrangements, and other administrative procedures smoothly.

Candidates arriving after the exam has started may not be permitted to enter the examination hall. Students must remain seated until the exam ends and submit their answer sheets to the invigilator before leaving the hall.

  • Printed copy of the AP SSC Hall Ticket 2026

Candidates are advised to check their registration number and subject details carefully before the exam day.
