The DSSSB e-admit card has not been released through the August 24 examination schedule notice.
DSSSB has stated that links for downloading e-admit cards will be provided shortly on the Board’s official website. No separate confirmed date for the admit card release has been mentioned.
The e-admit card will provide candidate-specific information, including the:
- Name of examination centre

Important Instructions Issued by DSSSB
Along with the examination schedule, DSSSB has issued several instructions that candidates should note.
Candidates have been advised to keep their registered email address and mobile number up to date for future communication.
The Board may send examination information to candidates through their registered mobile numbers. However, DSSSB has clarified that non-receipt of an SMS or other mobile communication will not entitle a candidate to seek an extension to download the admit card or to demand a re-examination.
Candidates are therefore advised to check the official website and the OARS portal themselves rather than relying solely on mobile alerts.
