Every student appearing in CG PAT 2026 must carry their printed hall ticket along with a valid government-issued photo ID proof to be allowed entry into the examination hall.
The Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (CG Vyapam) conducts the Pre Agriculture Test for admission to B.Sc. Agriculture and allied undergraduate programmes across Chhattisgarh. Arriving at the exam centre without even one mandatory document can mean immediate denial of entry with no exceptions. Going through this checklist the night before and on the morning of the exam will help you avoid last-minute stress.
- The CG PAT 2026 hall ticket (printed copy) is the single most critical document — a digital copy on your phone is not accepted.
- Carry any one original government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence.
- Bring 2–4 recent passport-sized photographs matching the photo uploaded during registration.
- Students under reserved categories should carry their caste or category certificate — it may be checked at the gate.
- PwD students must carry their disability certificate and scribe approval letter (if a scribe was requested).
- Mobile phones, calculators, and all electronic devices are strictly banned inside the exam hall.

CG PAT 2026 Mandatory Exam Day Documents
The table below lists every document that is compulsory for all students on CG PAT 2026 exam day regardless of category or domicile. Invigilators will cross-check these at the gate before allowing entry.
| Document | Key Details |
|---|---|
| CG PAT 2026 Hall Ticket (Printed) | Download from vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in and print on A4 paper; carry at least 2 copies. The print must be clear and legible — blurred copies may be rejected. |
| Valid Original Photo ID Proof | Any one government-issued ID with photo and name. Original only — photocopies and phone screenshots are not accepted. |
| Passport-Sized Photographs | Carry 2–4 recent colour photographs identical to the one uploaded during the CG PAT 2026 application process. |
Print the hall ticket well in advance and store it in a folder so it stays undamaged on exam day. Carry two printed copies as a precaution in case one gets wet or torn in transit. The name, date of birth, and photograph on your hall ticket must match those on your photo ID — any mismatch can trigger verification delays at the gate.
Accepted Photo ID Proofs for CG PAT 2026
You need to present exactly one valid original photo ID at the CG PAT 2026 exam centre. The document must be government-issued, carry your photograph, and be currently valid. The list of accepted IDs is given below.
| Accepted Photo ID | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|
| Aadhaar Card | UIDAI / Government of India |
| PAN Card | Income Tax Department, Government of India |
| Voter ID Card (EPIC) | Election Commission of India |
| Passport | Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India |
| Driving Licence | Regional Transport Authority |
| School or College ID Card (with photograph) | Respective institution |
If you do not have any of the above documents, carry your Class 12 board examination admit card or marksheet bearing your photograph as alternative proof. In all cases the invigilator may physically compare the photo on your ID with the photo on the hall ticket and with your face — ensure your appearance is consistent with your registration photo.
Category-Wise Additional Documents for CG PAT 2026
Students claiming reservation benefits must carry the relevant certificates. Although these are formally verified during CG PAT 2026 counselling and document verification, some exam centres may conduct a spot check at entry. Carrying originals and photocopies avoids unnecessary delays.
| Category | Document Required |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | Caste certificate issued by a competent authority (tahsildar or above) in Chhattisgarh |
| OBC | OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate issued in Chhattisgarh within the valid period |
| EWS | Income and Asset Certificate (EWS certificate) issued by a competent authority in Chhattisgarh |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | Disability certificate issued by a government medical board; scribe approval letter from CG Vyapam if a scribe was requested |
| Ex-Servicemen / Defence Dependent | Service certificate or discharge book from the relevant defence authority |
Carry both originals and at least two self-attested photocopies of each certificate. Caste certificates issued by authorities outside Chhattisgarh are generally not accepted for state quota seats, so ensure your certificate is issued by a Chhattisgarh competent authority. Check the validity period printed on your OBC or EWS certificate before exam day.
Items Not Allowed Inside the CG PAT 2026 Exam Hall
CG Vyapam enforces a strict prohibited-items policy. Possession of any item from the list below inside the exam hall can result in immediate cancellation of your result and initiation of legal proceedings.
- Mobile phones, smartwatches, fitness bands, or any wireless communication device — strictly banned with no exceptions.
- Calculators, slide rules, or log tables of any kind.
- Bluetooth earphones, earbuds, or any audio device.
- Textbooks, notes, printed cheat sheets, or rough paper (rough sheets provided by the invigilator are permitted).
- Electronic or digital pen drives, memory cards, or storage devices.
- Bags, backpacks, or pouches (leave them outside the exam centre — secure storage may not be available).
- Jewellery, metallic accessories, or heavy belts that could set off security scanners during frisking.
- Food items or sealed water bottles (unless prior written permission from CG Vyapam has been granted for a medical condition).
Reach the exam centre at least 60 minutes before the reporting time printed on your hall ticket to complete frisking, document verification, and seating without pressure. Gate closure typically happens 15–30 minutes before the exam start time and late entry is not allowed after that.

CG PAT 2026 Exam Day Documents FAQs
Ques. Can I use a soft copy of the CG PAT 2026 hall ticket on my phone instead of a printout?
Ans. No. CG Vyapam requires a physically printed copy of the CG PAT 2026 hall ticket for entry into the exam hall. A digital version displayed on a mobile phone is not accepted and mobile phones themselves are prohibited on the premises.
Ques. Which photo ID is best to carry for the CG PAT 2026 exam?
Ans. Aadhaar card is the most widely accepted and easiest to verify since it carries your name, photo, and date of birth in a single document. Any other valid government-issued photo ID — PAN card, voter ID, passport, or driving licence — is equally accepted at CG PAT 2026 exam centres.
Ques. How many passport-sized photographs should I bring to the CG PAT 2026 exam?
Ans. Carry 2 to 4 recent passport-sized colour photographs that match the photo you uploaded during the CG PAT 2026 application. Exam centres typically use these for attendance sheets or centre records, so having extras is always safer.
Ques. What should I do if I lose my CG PAT 2026 hall ticket before the exam?
Ans. Log in to the official CG Vyapam portal at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in and re-download your hall ticket. The admit card is available for download until the exam date. Print a fresh copy immediately. Without a valid printed hall ticket, entry to the exam hall will be denied.
Ques. Do I need to carry my category certificate to the CG PAT 2026 exam hall?
Ans. Category certificates are primarily required during CG PAT 2026 counselling and seat allotment. However, carrying original certificates and photocopies to the exam centre is advisable since some centres conduct verification at entry. Being prepared avoids any last-minute dispute.
Ques. Are there any special documents required for PwD students on CG PAT 2026 exam day?
Ans. Yes. PwD students must carry their disability certificate issued by a government medical board. If a scribe was requested and approved by CG Vyapam, the scribe approval letter must also be presented at the exam centre. Without these documents, the scribe facility or extra time may not be granted on exam day.
