NRE Roll Number Slip: How to Download Your PM&DC Admit Card

How to download your NRE (PMDC National Registration Examination) roll number slip once your application is approved, what it confirms, and how to troubleshoot access — plus honest exam-day basics for a computer-based licensing exam.

Once your NRE (National Registration Examination) application is approved, PM&DC issues your roll number slip — sometimes called an admit card — through the same PMDC NRE portal used for registration and results. This guide covers exactly how to download it, what it confirms, what to do if you can't access it, and what to actually expect walking into a computer-based licensing exam.

What Is the NRE Roll Number Slip?

It's the document that confirms you're registered for a specific NRE session and tells you your roll number, along with your test centre or CBT session details. PM&DC does not issue it separately from your portal account — there is no separate download tool or third-party lookup, only your existing NRE portal login.

How to Download It

  1. Go to pmdc.pk and log in to your NRE candidate account (the same CNIC/passport credentials tied to your provisional licence application)
  2. Open your dashboard and look for the "Roll Number Slip" or "Admit Card" section against your registered session
  3. Once PM&DC has processed your registration for that session, the slip becomes available to view and download here — not through email or SMS delivery
  4. Download and save a copy; PM&DC does not maintain a separate public verification tool, so your portal account is the only authoritative source

When Is It Released?

As with NRE results, PM&DC does not publish a fixed release calendar for roll number slips. Rather than waiting for an announced date, check your portal login periodically as your registered session approaches — the slip appears in your dashboard once your registration for that sitting has been processed, and there's no separate notification you can rely on instead.

Can't Access Your Slip? Troubleshooting

  • Nothing showing in your dashboard: most often means your registration for that specific session hasn't finished processing yet, not that anything is wrong with your account.
  • Can't log in at all: the most common cause is a provisional licence that hasn't been linked to your NRE portal account yet — confirm your provisional licence status before troubleshooting the login itself.
  • Forgotten password: use "Forgot Password" on the pmdc.pk NRE login page; the reset link goes to the email or mobile number on file from your provisional licence application.
  • CNIC/passport mismatch: this needs to be corrected by PM&DC directly — it can't be self-corrected through the portal.

Exam Day Basics

Since the NRE theory paper (NRE Step 1) is a 200-question computer-based test, treat it like any professional CBT sitting rather than a paper exam hall:

  • Bring your original CNIC or passport for identity verification — this is standard for any PM&DC-administered exam, not something specific to NRE.
  • Have your roll number slip accessible (downloaded and, where possible, printed) rather than relying on finding a signal to pull it up at the centre.
  • Personal electronic devices are standard exclusions at computer-based testing centres — leave them with your belongings rather than trying to bring them in.
  • Arrive with time to spare for identity check-in before your slot; PM&DC has not published centre-specific gate-closing times, so build in a buffer rather than cutting it close.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the NRE roll number slip the same as the admit card?

Yes — PM&DC's portal and candidates use both terms for the same document: proof of your registered session and roll number.

Can I get my NRE roll number slip without logging in to the portal?

No. There is no separate public lookup tool — it's only available inside your NRE portal account on pmdc.pk, the same account used for registration and results.

What if my registration shows as complete but there's still no slip?

Slips are tied to a specific session being processed, which can lag behind your registration confirmation. Keep checking rather than assuming an error, and contact PM&DC directly if nothing appears close to your session date.
