What if I have fever or cold, will I be allowed?

Candidates will have to sign a COVID declaration in the admit card, stating that they are not coronavirus positive or that they haven’t been in contact with someone who has tested positive.

For those who haven’t tested positive or come in contact with a positive case, yet have fever, cold or other symptoms associated with COVID-19, they will be allowed to write the exam in an isolation room, an IIT Delhi official told The Quint.

What time do I report at the centre?

In order to ensure social distancing and staggered entry of students into the examination centre, students will have to arrive at the centre at an entry time that will be communicated to them a day before the exam through SMS.

Am I allowed to carry a hand sanitizer?

Yes, candidates have been advised to carry a hand sanitizer along with a transparent water bottle. Needless to say, students must carry their own mask, which they must wear at all times.

Candidates will also have to wash their hands with soap before entry into the exam centre. 

They must maintain six feet distance at all times and will only be informed about the examination hall number once the barcode on their admit card has been scanned at the gate.
