Candidates are advised that the entry regime concludes at 09:45, and those arriving after this time will not be permitted to enter the exam venue.
To participate, students must present their "Exam Admission Ticket" and an original identity document. For citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan, this is the national ID card.
