The National Testing Service (NTS) conducts recruitment tests for many government departments, along with admission tests such as NAT and GAT. For every test you need a printed roll number slip. This guide shows how to download it from nts.org.pk and how to prepare for test day.
When Are NTS Roll Number Slips Issued?
Slips are usually uploaded about one to two weeks before the test date. If your test is still far away, your slip may not be available yet. NTS also sends test details by SMS or email to many candidates, but always download the slip from the official website.
How to Download Your NTS Roll Number Slip
- Open the official website, nts.org.pk.
- Go to the Roll Number Slip section.
- Select your project or test name from the list, for example the department or test you applied for.
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC without dashes.
- Type the security code if one is shown, and click Search.
- Check your details, then download and print the slip.
What to Bring on Test Day
- A printed copy of your roll number slip. Staff need a paper copy to verify.
- Your original CNIC. Photocopies are not accepted. Candidates under 18 should follow the instructions on their slip.
- A recent passport-size photograph if your photo is missing on the slip. Paste it with glue, not staples.
- A blue or black pen.
Not allowed: mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices and calculators, unless the slip says otherwise.
Test Day Tips
- Reach the centre at least 30 minutes before the time on your slip.
- Check the centre address the day before. Centres are often schools or colleges in your city.
- Read every question carefully and manage your time. Do not spend too long on one question.
