Top wear

• NTA has said that long sleeves clothes are not permitted.

• Therefore you should wear plain, simple, weather-appropriate clothes.

Tops and T-Shirts – NTA has not said in dress code whether these are allowed or not. You can probably wear them as long as the sleeves are short.

Kurtis, Kurta – For this too NTA has not provided any guidelines. Therefore it is probably allowed with short sleeves.

>> In any case ensure that your top / tshirt / shirt / kurti / kurta does not have pockets or buttons or accessories. This is because in the past years, some students were caught cheating with bluetooth devices and center officials find pockets and buttons very suspicious.
