All candidates preparing for AP TET 2025 are advised to familiarise themselves with the exam-day guidelines and carry the necessary documents. The exam will be conducted by the Department of School Education, Andhra Pradesh, in computer-based mode across various districts of Andhra Pradesh. This article outlines what candidates should carry and the dos and don’ts on the exam day to ensure smooth entry and compliance.
What to Carry on AP TET 2025 Exam Day?
Candidates must carry certain mandatory items to ensure entry into the examination centre.

- A passport-size photograph, if required, as per the admit card instructions.
- A black or blue ball-point pen, if allowed or specified, for any in-centre paperwork.
Optional / recommended items (if allowed at the centre):
- A transparent water bottle — preferably without a label — if permitted.
- Basic stationery (if allowed) for rough work, though external rough sheets may be prohibited depending on centre rules.
Candidates should verify on their admit card if any additional documents are needed, or if the photograph needs to be pasted on the attendance sheet.
