What the prelims paper looks like

The mains is a bigger test. It has a 250-mark objective paper and a 30-mark descriptive paper. Candidates who clear the mains are called for the interview, then document verification and a medical exam. Start mains preparation now if you feel good about the prelims.

Check these details before exam day
Carry a printed copy of the admit card and an original photo ID to the centre. Without them, you may not be allowed inside. The CAT 2026 admit card rules are the same, and they apply here too. Match the name and photo on your ID with the admit card.
Read the instructions on the call letter once more. Note the reporting time, not just the exam time. Reach the centre early, because late entry is not allowed in most online exams. Keep a second printout at home as backup.
NICL will post all updates on its own website. Do not trust links shared on Telegram or WhatsApp groups. Fake sites ask for money or personal details, and they look real at first glance. If a link does not come from the official NICL portal, do not open it.
The link is live now at nationalinsurance.nic.co.in. Download the card, check every detail, and use the six days left to revise. The exam is on November 17, and there is no second chance to sit for it this year.
