NICL AO Admit Card 2025

Following the successful completion of the online application process for the NICL AO (Administrative Officer) exam, the next eagerly anticipated milestone for candidates is the issuance of admit cards. The admit card, a pivotal document, acts as the gateway to the examination hall. NICL will release the admit cards for download on its official website a few days before the scheduled NICL AO exam dates.

Candidates are advised to closely monitor the official website and NICL AO notification for updates regarding the release of admit cards. It is crucial to download the admit card within the specified timeframe and before the last date, as failure to do so may lead to disqualification from participating in the examination.

It is important to emphasize that separate call letters will be issued for both 'Phase 1' and 'Phase 2' of the examination. Each phase carries its own significance, and candidates must qualify in one phase to progress to the next. Therefore, staying informed about the release dates for both admit cards and ensuring timely download is imperative.
