Important Note ➖ Keep in mind to bring the Real CNIC or passport or any identity card on which your picture identity has been uploaded. Without these you can’t be able to sit in the examination hall.
The Mistake You Should Avoid In LAT
The mistake you should avoid while examining is to go with your CNIC or any document with picture identity because I see in practical life it doesn’t allow you to sit in the exam on the basis of B-form only.
I did not bring that CNIC with me and they didn’t allow me to sit in the examination and all other students but by some references they allow me to sit. I went to the examination hall late and they served me the Question paper and I started writing. I completed the MCQs and Easy but when i came to the personal statement i asked the exam conductor for an extra sheet and he said to me that they are not allowed to give any extra sheet so that’s why i left the personal statement. When I came to the examination hall late, they already told the students to not ask us for extra sheets.
