The department has reserved the right to verify the genuineness of the reason given for missing the earlier test, and to decide whether a candidate is eligible to appear in this special round. Candidates should be ready to explain and support their reason for absence if asked.

Candidates travelling from Siliguri town or from other parts of North Bengal can plan their route to this address in advance, since the reporting time is fixed and no relaxation is mentioned in the notice.

- A valid Government-issued Photo Identity Card

Important rules for this special test
- The department will verify the genuineness of each candidate’s reason for missing the original test and will decide eligibility to appear.
- No further opportunity will be given after 30 July 2026, under any circumstances. This is stated plainly in the notice and is not a soft deadline.

Should you attend this special test?
This special test suits only candidates who genuinely missed the 26 July 2026 entrance test for reasons beyond their control, and who are prepared to have that reason checked by the department. It is not a second chance for candidates who simply want another attempt at the exam. Since the written test and interview fall on the same day, candidates need to plan for a full day at the venue rather than a short visit. The one clear trade-off stated in the notice is finality: after 30 July 2026, the department will not offer this route again, so any documentation supporting the reason for absence should be kept ready and carried to the venue along with the admit card.
