ETEA Roll Number Slip 2026: How to Download Your Roll No Slip & What to Do If Missing

Your ETEA roll number slip (also called the admit card) is your entry ticket to the test. Without it, you cannot sit the exam. This guide tells you exactly when it is available, how to download it, and what to do if there is a problem.

What is the ETEA Roll Number Slip?

The ETEA roll number slip (roll no slip) is an official document issued to every registered candidate after their application is processed. It contains:

• Your name and father's name
• Your CNIC number
• Your unique roll number for that specific test
• Test date and time
• Test centre address and hall/room number
• Instructions for the test (what to bring, rules, timing)
• Candidate photograph (if uploaded during application)

You must bring the printed roll number slip to the test centre. Most ETEA test centres also require your original CNIC or B-Form along with the slip.

When Is the ETEA Roll Number Slip Available?

ETEA typically makes roll number slips available for download 5–10 days before the test date. When slips are ready, ETEA sends an SMS to your registered mobile number and publishes a notification on www.etea.edu.pk.

Don't wait for the SMS — check your ETEA account 7 days before the test date, even if you haven't received an SMS notification.

Printing Your ETEA Roll Number Slip

Important printing notes:

• Print in colour if possible — some centres require a colour copy showing the photograph clearly
• Print at A4 size, 100% scale — do not shrink or scale down, as barcodes/QR codes must be scannable
• Print two copies — keep one and bring one to the test centre
• Ensure the text is clear and the photograph (if present) is visible

Lost or Can't Find Your ETEA Roll No Slip — What to Do

Roll number slips can be re-downloaded as many times as needed before the test. If you lost the printout:

• Log in to your ETEA account at www.etea.edu.pk and re-download the PDF
• Use the direct CNIC download method if you can't log in
• If your slip is genuinely not available (no slip found after checking), contact the ETEA helpline immediately — do not wait until the day before the test

What If My Roll Number Slip Has Wrong Information?

If the slip contains incorrect information (wrong name spelling, wrong test centre, wrong photograph):

• Contact the ETEA helpline immediately via the contact details on www.etea.edu.pk
• Provide your CNIC and application ID
• Minor spelling discrepancies between slip and CNIC are usually acceptable — the CNIC is the primary identity document
• Wrong test centre: this must be corrected through ETEA before the test — do not simply show up at a different centre

On Test Day — What to Bring

Bring the following to the ETEA test centre:

• ✅ Printed roll number slip (original)
• ✅ Original CNIC (or B-Form for candidates under 18)
• ✅ Pens (blue/black ballpoint — pencils are for OMR sheets where specified)
• ❌ Mobile phone (strictly prohibited — bring it at the risk of disqualification)
• ❌ Books, notes, or study material (not permitted inside)
• ❌ Smart watches or electronic devices

ETEA Roll Number — How It Is Used After the Test

Your roll number remains important even after the test:

• Use it to check your result on www.etea.edu.pk
• Use it to download the answer key and verify your responses
• Use it as a reference when contacting ETEA about any result queries
• Keep the slip until your admission or appointment process is complete
