4. Login Details — What to Use

• Use the same credentials you created during online registration: your Registration Number or Roll Number and your Password or Date of Birth.
• If you applied for two streams, only your latest registration number is printed on the call letter. One roll number is generated for administrative purposes, and the names of both posts are printed on it. So do not think something is wrong if you see only one number.
• Forgot your registration number? Check your application email or SMS from the time you registered.

5. Details to Check on Your Admit Card Right Now

• Candidate name, roll number and registration number
• Date of birth and category
• Post and stream applied for
• Photograph and signature
• Exam date, shift and reporting time
• Exam centre name and full address
• Space for the invigilator’s signature and your left thumb impression
• Exam-day instructions

Your name on the call letter must match your photo ID exactly. If any detail looks wrong, contact PFRDA before the exam date, not on the exam day.

6. Important Dates

Printing your submitted application is separate from the call letter. Its last date is 9 October 2026, so print and save it now, along with your call letter.

7. Phase 1 Exam Pattern — Paper 1 (All Streams)

Paper 1 is 60 minutes long.

8. Phase 1 Exam Pattern — Paper 2 (Stream-Specific)

Total test time is 100 minutes (60 + 40). With login, call letter collection and reading instructions, expect to spend about 160 minutes at the venue. Plan your food, water and travel for a long half-day.

9. Marking Scheme and Negative Marking

• All questions are multiple choice with five options and only one correct answer.
• For every wrong answer, one-fourth (1/4) of the marks assigned to that question is deducted.
• All papers except the English Language section are bilingual (Hindi and English). Rajbhasha Paper 2 questions are in Hindi and/or English.
• An answer is counted for evaluation only if you click “Save & Next” or “Mark for Review & Next”. An answer you only select but never save will not be counted.

This table is our own simple calculation (section marks ÷ number of questions), assuming every question in a section carries equal marks. The official notification does not print per-question marks, so treat these as a guide only. The practical lesson is clear: in Paper 2, one wrong answer costs you half a mark, so do not guess blindly.

10. Paper 2 Topics for the General Stream

• Commerce, Accountancy, Management and Finance
• Costing and the Companies Act
• Economics and the Pension Sector
• PFRDA Act, 2013 and its amendments
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Media, Marketing and Communication
• Union Budget (concepts, approach and broad trends) and the Economic Survey

Topic lists for the Research, Actuary and Rajbhasha streams are not given in the sources used for this article. Check the official notification for your stream.

11. Last-Week Plan Before 15 October

This plan is our suggestion to help you use the week well. It is not part of the official instructions.

12. Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre

• Printed Phase 1 call letter with a recent passport-size photograph pasted on it (preferably the same photo you uploaded during registration)
• Original, currently valid photo ID proof
• One photocopy of the same photo ID
• A ball-point pen and an ink stamp pad

Accepted photo ID proofs (as listed in the handout):

• PAN Card
• Passport
• Permanent Driving Licence
• Voter’s Card with photograph
• Bank Passbook with photograph
• Aadhaar Card or e-Aadhaar with photograph
• Valid recent ID card issued by a recognised college or university

• Photo ID proof issued on official letterhead by a Gazetted Officer or a People’s Representative, with photograph

Not accepted: Ration Card and Learner’s Driving Licence.

Name mismatch rule: The name on your call letter must exactly match the name on your photo ID. A mismatch can lead to being refused entry. If you have changed your name (for example, after marriage), you are allowed only if you produce a Gazette notification, a marriage certificate or an affidavit.

13. Exam-Day Instructions — Do’s and Don’ts

• Note the date, reporting time and venue address printed on your call letter. Latecomers are not allowed.
• You may visit the exam venue a day before to confirm its location.
• Calculators, books, notebooks, written notes, mobile phones and other electronic devices are not allowed.
• Follow the instructions of the Test Administrator and the PFRDA representative at all times.
• Ask your doubts to the Test Administrator only before the exam starts. No queries are answered after it begins.
• Do not press any keyboard key once the exam starts, as this can lock the exam.
• You cannot click “Final Submit” until the full test time is used. Your answers are saved automatically when the time ends.
• You will get one sheet of paper for rough work. After the exam, drop this sheet, your call letter and the ID photocopy (stapled together with the call letter) in the designated drop box.
• Unfair means can lead to disqualification and debarment. Candidates are advised to note the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024.
• In case of a technical or administrative problem, PFRDA will try to resolve it. A re-exam is at the exam body’s discretion, and candidates cannot claim one.

⚠ Three Things Candidates Forget: (1) Pasting the photograph on the printed call letter. (2) Carrying a photocopy of the ID along with the original. (3) Clicking “Save & Next” after every answer — an answer that is not saved is not counted.

14. Admit Card Not Downloading or Has an Error? Quick Fixes
