What is the NEST 2026 admit card?

The admit card is the official hall ticket for the National Entrance Screening Test, and every registered candidate downloaded it. Moreover, it served two purposes: first, it confirmed the exam date, slot, and centre; and second, candidates had to carry it with a photo ID, because the centre verified both before allowing entry.
