The University of Kota has clarified that no admit card will be sent to candidates by post or email, making it necessary for every applicant to log in and download the document themselves well before exam day.

Exam Pattern and Documents to Carry
Rajasthan SET follows a two-paper pattern common to state-level eligibility tests of this kind: Paper 1 is generally designed to test teaching and research aptitude and is common across all candidates, while Paper 2 covers the specific subject a candidate has applied for. Both papers are conducted within the single 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM window on exam day, and candidates should confirm the exact number of questions, marking scheme and duration split between the two papers from the detailed exam-day instructions issued alongside the admit card, since these details can vary slightly from cycle to cycle.
Candidates are required to carry their downloaded admit card along with a valid Aadhaar card as identity proof to the exam centre; examiners will verify both documents before allowing entry, and candidates who fail to produce either may not be permitted to appear for the exam. Anyone who notices an error in their name, photograph, exam centre or other details printed on the admit card is advised to contact the SET-2026 helpdesk immediately, rather than waiting until exam day, since corrections cannot be made once the exam has begun.
Helpdesk and Support
Candidates facing technical issues while downloading their admit card, or discrepancies in the details printed on it, can reach the SET-2026 helpdesk at the numbers 7340557555 and 9468668776. Given the short runway before the exam, candidates are advised to attempt the download well in advance rather than waiting until the final day or two, since portal traffic tends to increase sharply as the exam date approaches.
