What the C-DAC Portal Says
The page is titled Recruitment for Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and carries the heading Download Admit Card. It asks candidates to select the post they applied for and continue to candidate verification. Every post has its own Download Admit Card button.
For the venue, the portal says only “Ernakulam / Trivandrum centres (see admit card)” for the first two posts and “Ernakulam centre (see admit card)” for the last two. Your centre address is therefore on the admit card. The page does not show an advertisement number, syllabus or exam pattern, so read those in the official notification on the C-DAC careers page.
