How & where the exam date will be announced
- Primary source: MHA/IB official page → What’s New / Vacancies and the live recruitment dashboard.
- Candidate login / Application portal: When scheduled, the date & shift appear on Admit Card in your dashboard. (Media posts won’t substitute your admit card.)
- Reputable education media: Good for reminders but always verify on the official site.
Expected release logic (what to realistically expect)
- Tier-1 exam date is typically published after the application window closes and scrutiny is completed.
- Admit Cards usually drop a few days before the exam; keep your email/SMS active and check your login frequently. (Ed-prep trackers currently list Tier-1 date as not announced.)
Admit Card: when & what it shows
- Where: Candidate login on the official portal (the same place you applied).
- What you’ll see: Candidate details, exam city, venue, date, shift, reporting time, and instructions.
- Bring: Photo ID printed admit card, and any documents mentioned in the call letter.
