Hello,


Losing your admit card after the results have been announced is not an issue. Most institutions and examination boards maintain digital records of admit cards and results. You can usually obtain a duplicate admit card or necessary documentation by contacting the examination authority or the institution's administrative office. Provide them with relevant details such as your registration number, personal identification, and other required information. They will guide you through the process of retrieving your information and ensuring you have all the necessary documents for future use.


Hope this helps,


Thank you

Hello,

As you have mentioned that you have attempted the 32 questions but only on the basis of that questions one cannot guess that you will receive call from the university or not but than too, I will recommend you to prepare for the interview because in case if you receive the call than at that time it will be not possible for you to do the preparation so it is better to be ready always.

Thank you..
