What is the Draft Admit Card?
A draft admit card is like a preliminary hall ticket. It contains all the essential details of a student, such as their full name, date of birth, photograph, subjects chosen for the exam, and the college name. KSEAB releases this draft version so that students and schools can review all the printed information before the final admit cards are issued. This process helps to catch and fix any mistakes early, which is crucial for a smooth examination experience.
Who Needs to Act?
The responsibility to check these draft admit cards falls on different people depending on the student's status:
- For Regular Students: College principals are in charge. They must download the draft admit cards from their special login on the KSEAB website. After downloading, principals need to personally verify the information for each student. They also need to get signatures from each student on their respective draft admission letters to confirm that the details are correct.
- For Private Candidates: The draft admit cards are available for download in two places: the PU College Login and the Private Candidates Login on the KSEAB official website. Private candidates can check their details directly.
