Prior to the GST Practitioners examination in June, the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) has issued detailed guidelines for the candidates.
All GST Practitioners who are eligible to appear in the examination are required to submit online application on the Examination registration portal. The link of the portal shall be provided on official websites of NACIN and CBIC.
The guidelines said that landing page of the portal will display guidelines for filling up the application and also important dates namely- (i) Date of commencement of online registration, (ii) Last date of submitting application form, (iii) Date from when admit card can be downloaded, (iv) Date of examination, and (v) Date of result declaration.
According to the guidelines, the candidates are required to login on the portal with the help of GST enrolment number (login id) and PAN no. (password).
Based on the GST enrolment number and PAN number provided by a candidate on the login page, the application form will auto-populate candidate’s data already available with the GST Network such as name, address, mobile number, email address etc. This data is the same which was provided by the candidate in Form PCT-01 while applying for enrolment as GST Practitioner on the GST portal.
The guidelines reiterated that Candidates should not bring Bags and prohibited/valuable items as mentioned above to the examination venue as arrangements for safe custody of such items cannot be assured.
Resorting to unfair means or practices shall be considered as a serious offense. If any candidate is or has been found to be indulging use of unfair means or practices, his candidature will be cancelled and he will be disqualified for the examination.
It further said that the candidates shall maintain silence in the examination venue. Any conversation or gesticulating or disturbance or attempt to change seats/admit cards in the Examination Hall shall be deemed as use of unfair means.
Also, the candidates are not allowed to leave the examination hall until completion of the test and handing over the Admit card to the Invigilator.
