The re-exam will be conducted from 2 pm to 5:15 pm. On arrival at the examination centre, candidates will first undergo frisking and admit card verification. Before entering the exam hall, they will be required to complete the registration process, including biometric authentication using their UIDAI/Aadhaar details.
The NTA said biometric verification is a mandatory security measure that must be completed before the examination begins. However, candidates will not be barred from taking the test if biometric authentication cannot be completed due to hardware malfunction, poor biometric data quality, connectivity issues with UIDAI servers, or a physical inability to provide biometric details.
