IITM BS Quiz and End Term Hall Tickets: When They Come, If Missing

You need a hall ticket for every quiz and end term exam you write at a centre, and it names the one centre where you must write. The end term hall ticket comes only if you are eligible: an assignment average of at least 40 out of 100 and at least one quiz attended. The handbooks and the academic calendar give no fixed release date for hall tickets, so check your dashboard and email well before each exam. If one is missing, check your eligibility and registration first, then raise a support ticket straight away.

Who gets a hall ticket, and for what

A note on the assignment rule. The handbooks use the best 5 of the first 7 weekly assignments. The DS academics page says the best 5 of the first 9. Both say the course's grading document can change it, so check the grading document for your term.

The FAQ is blunt about the end term: learners who are not eligible for a course's end term are not issued a hall ticket for it. They must repeat the whole course, including assignments and quizzes, in a later term.

Where to find your hall ticket

• The dashboard. The FAQ names a page in the student dashboard called "Exam Cities and Hall Tickets". It is where you change your exam city before each exam's deadline, so look there first.
• Your exam cities. At registration you choose 2 exam cities, and you can choose a different pair for each quiz and for the end term. Your centre is allotted in one of them.
• Outside India. If you normally write from abroad but will be in India on exam day, the DS academics page says you must tell the team ahead of time. You will then be placed at a centre in India and your hall ticket issued to match.

Print it, and check it

The official "Important Instructions for Exams" document says that for in-centre quizzes, end terms and the qualifier:

• You must bring a printout of the hall ticket.
• It must be clearly printed, with your photograph and signature visible.
• A photo or digital copy on your phone is not accepted.

When you print it, also check (our suggestions):

• Your name and photograph are correct.
• The full centre address, not just the city. The FAQ says one city can have more than one centre.
• The courses listed match what you registered for.
• The date and the reporting time.

The handbooks say you must report only to the centre on your hall ticket. At any other centre, you will not be allowed to write. See the exam centre policy.

If your hall ticket is missing

1. End term? Check your eligibility first. Work out your assignment average and check that you attended at least one quiz. If you did not meet both, no hall ticket will come. Your grade becomes WA or WQ, and you repeat the course. See repeating a course.
2. Check your registration. Make sure your course registration and payment for this term went through.
3. Check your login. After your documents are approved, you sign in with your student email, not your personal one.
4. Check email and WhatsApp. Programme notices come through both.
5. Raise a support ticket. Give your roll number, the course, the exam and its date, and a screenshot of the dashboard page. Follow up after 24 hours on the same ticket, then escalate. See support tickets and escalation.

Do this days before the exam, not on the night before.

If a detail on it is wrong

If your photo or name is wrong, raise a ticket at once and attach proof. The handbook also gives a profile update window after each term's registration, where you can fix your name, date of birth and photograph with proof. That window may not fall before your next exam, so do not wait for it.

Common questions

I met the assignment rule but missed both quizzes. Will I get an end term hall ticket?

No. The rule needs both parts: the assignment average and at least one quiz. Missing both quizzes means no end term hall ticket for that course. More in the end term exam guide.

Can I show the hall ticket on my phone at the centre?

No. The official exam instructions say digital copies on phones are not accepted for in-centre exams. Carry a clear printout. See what to carry to IITM BS exams.

My centre is far from my first choice. Can I change it after the hall ticket comes?

The FAQ says each exam has a deadline for changing the exam city, in the "Exam Cities and Hall Tickets" page. After that, you must go to the centre on your hall ticket.

Is there a hall ticket for OPPE?

The official exam instructions document covers quizzes, end terms and the qualifier. For programming exams, follow the instructions your course sends for the OPPE.
